Send it through a media blaster and see what comes out. Then you'll know pretty quick.

Some people have waaaaaaaaaaay more ambition and energy than me. :eek: I've seen projects like that and sometimes they actually save them. WOW!!

after the first pic I was wondering where the cowl went then I found it! :LOL: It looks like two cars though!
I looked at the Oz forum - couldn't believe he was able to make a car out of that scrap. It looks like he was able to salvage some then make all new pieces for the rest using the 'junk' for a template. Great skills and more patience then I could imagine. Yeah, I know there is satisfaction in bringing back a hulk from the dead.
I tend to get rusty cars because I can afford them them but none of them have been like that one. I believe my wife would shoot me if I came home with that.
i think even at 100 bucks he paid 100 bucks too much. but i have seen some very talented peoples builds here and maybe this guy is another one of them. good luck with it. i will be checking back to see the progress.
I did a Google serch for the term "too far gone" and a picture of this car popped up.
this thing is starting to come together, I will post some better pics when he pushes it out of the shed.
cheers barnsey

- Hit the "Go Advanced" button in the lower right of the "Reply" box where you type. That opens new options.
- Scroll down in the "Additional Options" and find the button "Manage Attachments", and in the new PopUp Box click "Add Files", and then "Choose File".
-Find the file name of the pic you want to attach and click it, then click the "Upload" button.
-Repeat the "Add, Choose & Upload" steps up to five times, then at the bottom click the little box, "Insert In-Line", then "Done".
-Your picture files will now be listed as "Attachments" in the text box. You can move them around to change the order, and type in between pictures as you want. Use the "Preview Post" button to fine tune, and dashes between lines to make space. You may have to reduce the file size to around 600KB or so for them to post. I take most of my pictures with my phone these days, and reducing is easy using the edit/reduce size selections.
Hope this makes sense!! Looking forward to seeing your progress.
