     Just got my new 2.3 twin carb magnum estate, been in an old
lady's garage since 1993 when her husband passed.
The bad, outer sills gone, top 8 inches of inner wings gone (filled) some rust on rear arches. The good, doors/tailgate/hood spotless, no rust. Underneath is A1 solid. New wings fitted in 91. Interior apart from the carpet is mint spotless dash, door cards, seats & rooflining!!!!!!!!!!  New GM upper & lower ball joints in the boot aswell.
Pics to follow.

So whats the plans for this one then ?
Looks like not too much to do to get it on the road and an estate is so useful. Phil |

A. If I get a van for work I will use as a run around.
B. If I lose the work i am doing, sell it!!!! C. Re store to original spec & use as another summer car D Put a nose cone on & make sportshatch replica I will do the sills and sort the brakes out, do a service then go for an mot, see what happens.

thats amazing luck! im sure i will find something i just wish they were closer and cheeper instead of london or scotland way then paying a fortune for it. i`d
take a 1256 estate if it were close and cheap enough lol.
