It could see the road again in the hands of a competent welder. The front inner wings are excellent and original, its just the usual Minor areas at the rear which have gone and the crossmember. I've seen worse returned to the road.

Yes you are correct. Also the station wagons had stainless steel window frames but the 2-door saloons were painted steel, which I have swapped over. Still no movement on the engine, the next step will be to remove the cylinder head, which needs doing anyway given the time its been standing (around 4...

If you need any parts just holler.

It might live again. Once I've got what I want I'll punt the rolling shell on, as it's a 2-door it could be taken on by one of the custom/race guys with workshop facilities and the budget to do it. The headlining is mint. It is a shame it fell on hard times, but at least its not going to scrap.

There's always some bureaucratic cunts wanting to ruin everything. Probably had a property developer after the land, but there's no way any government official could possibly be corrupt. Tossers.

Good to see the Pablo owner had his priorities right - fit shit LED's first and forget the maintenance.

If I had a time machine you'd never see me again... In the Reverend's pic the Hawk appears to be a Mk. VI with accident damage. Probably not worth repairing at 10 years old even though it would just be a matter of changing panels - the separate chassis was a beefy affair. Funnily enough the cost and...
