Has anyone seen this. It looks in a bit of a state but might be of use to someone.

Poor bastid!..I still think we should set up a Wedge Rescue Fund..(WRF)..Maybe a group of say 4-5 people with somewhere to complete the work…Im not talking a concourse restoration just brought back to a useable condition…These cars need saving!…Ziga

PS: If it comes to it..Im in also.

I think a few of us should get together and rent a cheap farm shed convenient for us all to get to, say up Cambridgeshire way, where farms are plentiful. That way we can buy up these sad looking Wedges that seem to be coming up regularly just recently and get them road worthy. Not a complete rebuild, but like Zig says, a cost effective refurb. There may be cases when some have to be broken up for parts when they are too far gone, so as we can use the parts to save other Wedges. We could have a buyer, someone who is shrewd and good at negotiating low prices, a seller who has the gift of the gab and can sell ice cream to the Eskimos, but one thing we would all have in common is for us all to work on the cars and finance them until sold. Something along those lines. Not a profit making scheme but rather an enthusiastic approach to save derelict Wedges. Sort of an RSPC*(W), but for Wedges if you like. Any thoughts?

It could be a refrigerated container, hence the plastic lined walls.

Or else you are trying to get me in (more) trouble with my missus, so I will ignore this thread until you let me know where the garage is....

(Sounds like a good idea though...)
