Saw this in today's trading post. Wonder if this is the one that was for sale a few months ago, but up the road a little at Douglas Park.

That's gotta be it....covered in major surface rust (and I mean back to bare metal and then leave to fester for years), stripped out and fitted with a rollframe, 5 speed ZF transaxle, holden hubs and a BMW motor...none of which work. The project was never completed and I don't see how it could be - given the state of decay. The body has been cut around badly, square headlights badly fitted and tail lightclusters from a holden mounted in a hacked out section of the rear well below the fins (which have been dodgily welded up.)

I drove for a few hours to see the car, it was a complete let down.
