So... just a quick post for now to see if I am barking up the wrong tree, or just plain barking.
I recently bought a parts car to help with my long and drawn out restoration of the Wild Rover. I will salvage the parts that I can use and then I will be looking to get rid of the rest of the vehicle, which brings me to the point...
Although there won't be much left in the way of usable parts there will be a rust free California Base Unit - knowing just how hard it is to find a rust free car and hating the idea of sending this one to meet its maker I thought I would float the idea out there and see if there is any interest.
I will do a proper check and get some pictures this weekend.
I know that the biggest hurdle will be getting this car from my place in California to whatever the final destination might be. But, the idea of chucking a good base unit when there are so many rust buckets out there just doesn't sit well with me. On the other hand being killed by my wife for keeping a scrap car on the drive doesn't sit well with me either.
I need to get Title to the vehicle, which will cost me $150 and I would want to cover my basic costs, but all in all I am not looking for a ton of money for it. It can come with, or without the engine and I would be more than happy to help with arrangements should anyone be interested - there is a shipper close to me that Ian Wilson used to use.
It may not be financially viable, but I couldn't bring myself to scrap it without letting folks know first.
