I sold that last year as I was going to strip and rebuild but was having back problems which were 'accidently' cured by selling my Astra and buying a Volvo.

The chassis was solid with good outriggers in my ownership. Tyres are 10 years old and the windscreen was cracked. Brakes were renewed etc. Paintwork was rough. As a temp measure I used to flash over with a can before going out! The bits inside are presumably what I gave. Head gasket set, Water pump, new rear lenses and stuff that I had collected. Had a 5 speed gear box and engine was sound with equal compression

It needed a fuel pump to get it running. I would love now to have it back but not really practical. Buyer wanted a car to go to Le Mans obviously proved too much. Shame for him

If anyone wants photos pm me

A company like Sportmotive should take one of these & use it as a development hack for an LS conversion. yes

yes a new fuel pump, battery, use the brakes a bit, bolt the seats in place and it'll pass the mot. Chassiss is covered in the clear waxyol. Had a refurbed rack and new column ujs. Headlights might be a bit slow by now
