Hi
I have been a long time visitor to the site, mainly to read the project threads and browse the cars for sale

I am in the UK, the north of England and I am looking to import a basically road worthy car that I can then work on as a project

I dont mind if there is an element of body work fabrication required but nothing too extreme
Likewise, if the interior is complete but needs trim or upholstery that is fine
A car need repainting is also fine.

An engine, transmission, running gear and brakes are all must haves

Completed projects are prohibitively expensive in the UK so my plan is to find something reasonable and then import.

I do have a budget but at this stage I am looking to see what is available and 914world looks like the best place to start

Thank you
David

I have a 75' with back dated bumpers that will be available shortly. It's rust free but will need a full repaint. Feel free to PM And we can discuss the details.

I've got a 75 that I've done bodywork on, brakes done, clutch...
Starts and takes right off every time. Seats and interior have dried out, so you can have fun there---

I'm selling because I have another one.

Send a personal message, I think this is your car...

I can get you organized for shipping. I'm in Connecticut near NYC.
