Looks like it is still melting/dripping dry underneath from the glacier it was found in. Always nice to have a clean car before you start working on it.

Oh, sorry, I'm kinda new. I'l dig the title out, & make sure it gets noted. (yep it actually has a title) Got a week off work, would like to get about three of these to the crusher.
Well, how does it handle?
It would make a great rat rod...Looks like the rat part is already complete.
It was handlin' pretty decent until the trailing arm broke off......and then the door popped out.............that's when it got kinda hard to steer. 
I'd rather drive your tractor.
I was ready to say. Sure its not as bad as mine. But then i saw the pictures

I checked the vin # out and this was actually Otzi the Iceman's 914. It broke down on him one day while he was driving through the Alps in a bad snow storm. 5,300 years later, this is what you end up with. The car is not quite as well preserved as the Iceman. 
FYI Otzi's friends called him Hank.

Nothing a little bondo can't fix.
It will take a little more time to block sand.

I had a guy come to my shop looking for a job one day. I asked where he worked before. He told me he worked at a used car lot. He told me his boss taught him how to hang body filler in mid air!
I saw that door and thought NOS too. I bet it still has a part number sticker on it.
