capriclive Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 picked this up last night.. it is (was) a 1970, 3000gt xlr. been stood since 91, and totally rotted out.... had a rebuilt engine (not sure to what spec) but has piper dizzy, 40 dfav carb, before it was stood up. a few good bits left to salvage, but deffo no panels. front end started to seperate from the rear as it was being winched up..
Admin Vista Posted July 12, 2007 Admin Report Posted July 12, 2007 Not much salvageable from that is there!
antz Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 looks worse than ricks mk1 escort he broke that snaped in half on his driveway!
Gareth Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 It really is a shame to see cars like that But still worth it if the engine's ok

Jelly Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 I would be willing to bet money that car has been sat on someone's driveway for decades, and every time an enthusiast knocks on their door they say "Sorry not for sale, I'm going to start a resto on it next month."
Copey Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 certainly got ur work cut out for you!!...thats if the car lasts long enough...poor capri

Guest cortinamad-gonetoo Posted July 13, 2007 Report Posted July 13, 2007 how much was that then come on get your welder out lets see it rebuilt
capriclive Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Posted July 13, 2007 how much was that then it was free but had to nip across to isle of wight for it. body totally shot, but worth picking up for engine / box / axle and other good bits / spares with it.
