Yeah, sad is the way it is. Pretty much everything off this car had seriously deteriorated due to rust, or sitting around. The springs all have serious pitting and aren’t useable, the motor is seized, still hoping to free it up before I pull it down. The transmission hump was rusted.. even stuff like switchgear and dash parts are either scrap, good for parts only, or, at best require repair.That photo of the seat makes me sad! I remember picking up my new 15 from Renault Western avenue Acton and turning that plastic knob!
Can't understand how car like that was allowed to rot.
A few things that have survived better than I’d thought though are fuel tank, and main loom. Luckily the driveshafts have still got their boots on, although none split, but still appears full of grease.
