your son sounds like a wrong'un :P

i've been wondering - should I really rip an almost perfect car to bits (considering its age), or should I restore it and then sell it as a classic in 10 years time? I've been looking for a donor for a good while, and they've all been much more expensive and in worse condition than this one - so I know how good a bargain I've managed to pick up.

never considered the reg plate as a spare! Cheers guys!

One guy has already bought the front seats, and a few others are interested in doorcards, wings etc... Do doors, bonnets and boots sell well if they're in good nick?

Thanks for all the feedback
