    I’m watching this ebay car. If he gets anything like $17,500 for it I might just rip Bridget’s bumpers, fenders, gas tank, top and self respect right off her and put her up for sale.

    And I agree.

    I’ll have TD body parts for sale of that sells for $17k!!!

    And for all that work, you think he might have at least cut the windshield?

    Yes, you cut the windshield down and she wouldn’t be half bad.
    No, I don’t think he’ll ever see that price.

    IMHO…he’ll be lucky to get $3500. He’s trying to get back that stated $20K he’s puportedly put into it. Not a chance in H3ll.

    Thanks, Paul. I had the link…forgot to post it.

    I think it looks pretty cool from the front. It’s the dune buggy engine treatment I object to. I think he could have T-ified it out back with a rounded engine cover. But that really would have required some skillful  fabrication.

    He likes the Christmas tree ornament look.

    I’m trying to see where the $20K is!

    Unless those wheels and tires are $4k a pair, he’s got the 20k hidden pretty well.

    1600cc rebuild kit only costs $800 and a complete 1600 would run about $1 per cc. Enginewise MAYBE $2 with all the uneccessary header and chrome. Now throw in $2K for rims and another $1K for tires and you still only come out with $5K tops. Still think he wont get it.

    That’s pretty fugly, does look more like a dune buggy with those big wheels and tires and the engine and muffler sticking way out like that. It seriously needs the rear end enclosed instead of looking like it was chopped off. And no top or at least a tonneau? The paint job is a bad color too, looks more like primer than a finish coat. Not going to get many offers at that price

    I agree with the the fugly!!..   If he has 20 grand in that he must have paid himself 19000 in time wasted.   It’s just wrong.
