If i had the money all those cars would be restored hate seeing toranas and the like just rusting. Not a classic but i thought this would be a good project for a restoration. Saw this bt1 vn a while ago in pretty rough shape. 6 months went buy and it was still there tracked down the owner and asked him if he was selling it. The deal was done and the car was home. Needs alot of work, full respray new parcel shelf because the preivoius owner put a sub in it. Want to get it back to original condition if possible.

What's too far gone these days. You've got companies making all these replacement panels now and blokes that can replicate panels out of flat sheet. If I had the space I know I'd love to get a few long term restos on the go.
