I've got one! I have a 1968 estate with plenty of rust...slowly restoring it, have replaced most of the floorpan etc, just waiting for more time and money to get on with it. It'll probably have to wait another year or so 'til uni's finished. What type do you have?

I think Pigeon has had dealings with these too.

Hi
At the moment I've got 5 amazons,
1970 131 2-door, rally prepared with high lift cam, 4 branch & sports exhaust, competition clutch, lowered & uprated springs, roll cage, minilites etc, probably reaching 140/150bhp steady as a rock at 100mph+.
1969 131 2-door, totally standard daily driver.
1968 122 2-door, a bit of a dog, bought of ebay for £200, wont run at present & pissing me off.
1965 122 estate, currently in a state, needs a lh front wing & work to the front panel, & the head gasket has gone, just need some time.
1966 4-door, breaking at the moment. If you need anything let me know.

Glad to hear theres more of us out there on PH

How rusty is your estate, usual places ie. inner wings, front wings & bulk head?

Sounds like quite a collection!

Mine's also a bit of a dog at the moment, needs quite a bit of welding around the rear suspension mounts and it'll be getting a full engine rebuild at sometime as it's pretty knackered. Inner wings have been done and the bulkhead is ok, so not too much round the front end to do, just passenger footwell and outrigger.

The engine has been changed for a B20 and overdrive box at sometime in the past though, so not too bad on the motorway. I just don't have the time to do any of it for now, and am off to Italy for 4 months in a couple of weeks, so it'll be the summer before it gets much attention, at least it's dry and shouldn't go any more rotten...

cheers, Mike
