2door swallow project. gumtree tas

Pretty common to replace a nose or tail skin.

Cut and shut usually implies 2 separate cars cut through the door holes and joined together.

Interested as to why you thought it's a cut and shut.
No doubt it's had a front end, but that could have been just a crash repair. (how well it was done, always an issue)

Whom is your comment meant for?

[sports racer]

Sure was Eri, cut and shuts are illegal and have been for many years, it was probably done in the 1980s.
Not even a good job then.

I'd say the comment is meant for this person, the only one here who's said not to touch this car because the front is 77 GLS and the rear is early 76 LS.

Passenger floor pan is basically gone, but it isn't that bad a deal, probably $800 in repairs to make right

If it was VIC/NSW/SA/SE Qld I would probably own it, but Tas transport is harder

[Stanton]

How much to redo the join where the 76 back half meets the 77 front half then.

[Peter Jones]

I'm not convinced it's a cut and shut. What makes you so certain?

Not trying to be rude but I'm just not seeing it from the photos.

My '76 Golf has a swallow tail front and a later rear but it's not a cut and shut, it's just had the beaver panel replaced due to a rear end accident.

I've got '90s cabrio front clip repair panel that I'm going to put into a '79 but that won't make it a cut and shut either.

Also the early Golfs were often a jumble of parts anyway.

I give up ! I started by trying to warn off potential buyers from getting caught out but seems no one wants to be saved !
What a bunch of sad sacks.

[LukasForeals]

all they are asking for, is your reasoning and some proof of your claims, i don't think that warrants calling them 'sad sacks'

[Stanton]

Funny that the car is for sale in Tasmania and the "prove it "comments are from non Tasmanians.
I don't have to prove anything.
I suggest a super moderator remove this thread.
