Hi Christian,

Whereabouts in the Cotswolds are you based?

I am in Stafford in the midlands. If I hear of anything I will get in touch.

What is your maximum budget?

Kind regards

Andy

Hi Andy, I am based in Cheltenham. though I have a tow car so anywhere within 40/50 miles I would consider. Budget doesn't stretch to far at all, would be only a few hundred though depends on what the wife allows :) thanks for help, regards Christian

Having broken a few 'basket case' cars for parts I would advise don't do it as a restro project. They can rot everywhere and panels are expensive / hard to come by, triple skinned areas are difficult.
Save your money and buy a better one.

Good advice!
Also basket cases aren't as common as they once were.
