how about a austin devon  been in a shed abuot 10/15 years  she,s a little rough  but perfectly restoreable

only came outside a few months ago  coz the shed was rebuilt larger to serve another purpose  not shure of price  but very,,very cheap to good home

it belongs to an old friend,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,actually the farther of the lass i,m with at the mo


  so if youre interested or know of someone who is  i can get her for you or arrange for you to get her

  i dont want to see her left standing much longer

Dropped the roof panel off at Loony's workshop after work this afternoon.
For those who've forgotten since yesterday, this was given to me for nuffink by Tino, the guy who's knocking up an exhaust manifold for my trike. He's got a workshop in Mitcham, Surrey, on the outskirts of London, & a yard behind it crammed full of interesting motors. The roof was plasma cut from a Rover P6, (the 1970s, sloping roofed, 4 door saloons, often used as Police patrol cars, if you're old enough to remember them -I am  Sad ). Tino's into V8 Ford Pilots, which are a slightly bigger, 4 door version of my Pop, & reckons these panels fit them a treat, to fill in the hole left by the original vinyl insert.
To fit it in the back of my little Fiesta hatchback we had to cut it in half, hoping the 2 bits would be wide enough to bridge the open roof of my pick-up. Here it is, laid in place. Seems to work. Once it's trimmed back to size it should fit nicely & follow the Pop's original roof curviture -unlike the totally flat panel that was fitted when I bought the car. This is actually the rear half of the Rover roof as the curves matched better. The front half still has the aerial attached to it! Of course, we can't weld this in place yet as the doors are still tacked shut & we need to climb in & out of the roof to work on the interior!

Knew you'd ask that Shaun! Course you can, but I'll have to fold it up quite small to get it in the post to you.
