Hate seeing a wedge in that condition - hopefully it can be salvaged for the greater good of others

So basically we all won't a bit, but we ain't got no where to put it!

No Jae, still haven't sorted the cowling out, still not to sure what it comes off SD1, TR7 etc. but it looks like the right cowling on this scrap/project car.

There are guys on ebay who charge to deliver the car anywhere in the UK - quite reasonable too.. just have to be sure it is on a flat bed and tied down to prevent body flying off half tempted to use as a garden bench..

I'll stick a few more bids in, in the spirit of keeping another wedge alive ( dont know where i'd put it though)

Probably be a few bits available if i do... ( interior, wheels some suspension for a start)

as fancy a race spec road car
