Well its back home now.. well on my inlaws drive under a car cover atleast! Overall it doesnt seem too bad although it does need a pair of sills and a drivers rear arch, plus the boot is full of holes in the usual places. The passenger rear arch has been recently replaced however, so its not all bad news!

I'm yet to do a proper appraisal with a screwdriver and dustpan and brush, that could put a different slant on things! It does alteast all seem to work OK, the engine and box are very sweet indeed. No seized brakes either.

Paintwork is faded but will respond well to a good polish.

Pics to follow!

I have taken some pics but i'm yet to upload them. Its very rotten! The rear panel has almost detached itself completely from the rest of the car, the floors and sills are almost as bad too. The carcass is going to good use though, acting as a donor for my later 240 estate. Unfortunately panels that I need such as the wings and bonnet are also rotten, so i'm still looking for those bits.

If anybody would like any bits let me know, I may beable to help put!
