This is one of those stupid posts....in that I am arm wrestling with myself on direction of this project. Have owned this in current condition since 2006..( How silly is that). Originally bought to do conversion then found buying one already done was much cheaper ( and most likely still is)
So this car is a roller so original 4 cylinder is lone gone. My dilemma is to build a "stock " car with a later 2.0 or convert. Not high on the latter. Also might consider selling but not as fire sale. It may look crappy but it has no rot or collision damage I can find. Battery tray has been removed but metal is otherwise good. Had stripped floor tar long ago and primed but put aside. The basic question is with non matching 4 cylinder is the car scarred from a price perspective. Could also use as donor for a real six build but that seems like heresy. So how does the brain trust shake out on this one ? TOT Yes it is Adriatic blue |

It also depends on how much time and money that is being put into the one parked behind it. I have a 73 1.7 that isn't all original. It has had a respray in 1986, wheels are minilites I have the steel ones. Yes it is not all original, but the old saying a car is only original once. There are more
enthusists who like and enjoy a nice example of a beautiful car. I have one that I want to keep as close to original as I can. I am now wanting one that I can do what I want to. I have a 72 that has rust that beyond repair, longs and rear suspension mounts the rest is good. Now searching for a clean roller for a nice and slightly modified build. Basically you have to do what makes you happy. If you build it. It will sell. |
