Fiat has landed and cleared customs so a trip to Southampton tomorrow to pick it up. The Buick is due on the 13th all being well. Kingstown shipping have been pretty on the ball with this one so hopefully it hasn't got too wet with no hood. It now stands me in just over £4k which should leave a bit of profit in it as long as the bodywork isn't too rotten.

Collected the Fiat this afternoon and I hope the Buick is better as there is some amazing bodge work on the Fiat. All the floors are pop riveted along with the boot floor. The main chassis rails are ok and the sills will go again but there is a lot of welding to do and then paint and the mechanics there won't be much profit in this one.

Oof.

I guess the risks buying sight unseen halfway across the world. Some you win, some you loose.

What's the rear suspension setup on the Fiat? Has a lot of positive camber when it's dangling.

That's what I thought, but I didn't want to be so rude by suggesting that 🤣

If they are the correct panels but just pop riveted in place it shouldn't be that big a job to rectify.
Fingers crossed.
