pretty sweet find!! you say the doors are spoken for, what would be the chances of nabbing the rear left door handle? only if its black though.

edit: would it fit a '79?

They'd be the wrong type for your year. I've got boxes of the things, pop 'round and pick one up sometime.

Hey mate. No it won't. They're different. I have some later ones though, so i'll find the L/R one for you. They originally came off my '77 w/the 16v.

Nice pickup Chris. Too nice to have chopped up.

Cheers, Pete. Very true.

Stripped this thing today. And boy oh boy is it mint!!













The door cards, trims etc will go in the GLD, along with the carpet and probably the rear parcel shelf, too.

The mint sound deadening will probably go in the 16v. I've removed it and left it out to dry, as usual the passenger floor was damp (hence the surface rust).

I'd say there will be some surface rust under the tar. That's pretty much a given. I think the odometer still works as the trip meter has clicked over to "1" since we've been pushing it around. If that's the case, it means it's a genuine 114k car.

Engine bay is mint. No rad. support panel rust. Some surface rust on the battery tray, but that's it.

Heater core is mint. When I disconnected it and emptied it, fresh bright green coolant came out!

The under dash covers are mint. They'll be going in the 16v.

I removed the seat belts as they're all mint. They'll go in the 16v.

I'll be using the rear seat padding etc and getting it re trimmed for the seat frame on the 16v too.



I seriously can't believe this was going to be cut up.. It's the best shell i've ever seen and i'm so glad I saved it.
