Went and had a look at it today, the paint is totally ****ed, the interior will need everything replaced, but the motor, box and diff are great (but are very grubby)

The car is pretty straight, passenger sill has a big dent in it, there was rust in the doglegs and in the rain gutters on the C pillars (but nothing too major). Also some surface rust on the roof, again nothing major. Rear quarters, boot floor, and everywhere else looked fine.

This was my first manual experience, I have never been in a car that will spin both wheels in the rain at half throttle thru first, 2nd and even into third (tyres must be shit haha). The car is a JG34, Factory 351 4 speed fairmont. im 90% sure the diff is a nine inch by going what was said to look for here, and it loved to turn both wheels hehe. Unfortunately i forgot what the paint code was, but the owner said from the factory it was the same green it is now. Will have to make up my mind later whether to paint it that original colour or go Wild Violet

But yeah, am totally in love with the bucket it is, and can only see potential. Would 4 grand with a little rego left be a decent price?
