hey how are the front panels have they got as much rust as the rest of the car. I'll give you $200 and i'll bring wheels to put on it give me a call 0412 688 698

[jeremymarsh]

Rust?

No rust front panels are great.

The only rust is a bit of surface rust where the previous owners paint job has flaked away to leave bare metal.

and aim higher than $200......

Cheers

A few years ago I bought a very nice 3T engine from a guy in Sydney, but it came in a TA22 shell that same distinctive purple/maroon colour as yours (the body was free, and it was the most convenient way of getting the motor home from Sydney).

The car also had very distinctive leopard-skin pattern trim .......... and had been named "Pornstar" by its previous owners


I removed the motor, sold on the rolling shell, then - about a year later - came across it in a Queanbeyan wreckers. Still undamaged, still that same purple, still with some remaining leopard-skin trim. So, when I saw your photos, I wondered.............................

[jeremymarsh]

Thats kinda funny i don't think this is the Porn star that i know of.

The porn star i know of was owned by a Rod Try?
Heres a picture to jog the memory.




and the infamous interior.



It was quite an Eyesore....

That was the one .................

That is truly, truly appalling - Bob, you should be ashamed of yourself !

I'm hoping you haven't kept the interior to put in the Amazon*

* although in that case it would have to be jaguar-skin to be geographically correct, I suppose

In my defence , I wish to state that:
(a) I only bought it for the motor; the body (and interior) were free;
(b) I first saw the car in total darkness, test-drove it in darkness, handed over the money in darkness, and drove it home to Canberra in darkness; and
(c) it was only the next morning that I saw what I had done .
Regrettably, later that morning my wife also saw what I had done , and offered me the opportunity for early-onset death.

I was very tempted to keep a (very small) piece of the interior trim for my motoring museum. However, following counselling from my wife (see reference above to "early-onset death") I realised that this would not be a wise move


Grumpy, etc

Sold to Mr David Crow.

Who will be parting the car out if anybody is interested pm me for his number.
