Save a Classic !

Silvera

This thread is devoted to classics you come across which are in need of rescue !

To start it off ..........
(From Todays Buy & Sell)

Datsun 180B '78 42k mls, not running, suit parts. South Dublin. 087-1266 080.

Ok, so it may not be a 'classic' in most peoples minds, but it is rare, and may be restorable. It would be an interesting car to bring to shows !

VW Golf MK1.3 dr, 1.6 dsl, wine, in need of attention, #150. Contact: 087-4102326.

Beautiful car when restored, replace the engine with a GTI

Also from the buyandsell
Renault 6 '75.Light blue, 1 lady owner from new, needs light restoration, very rare car, #400.

The Renault 6 is quite similar to the Renault 4. It is a very rare vehicle however I'd be surprised if any Irish R6s only require a "light restoration"

id be surprised if any old irish classic cars 'need just light restoration' full stop.

Dear God don't tell my wife there are strays like these which need homes. There is hardly room for my junk without her going rescuing Renaults.

I have a '74 Mini which needs tender loving care (and about €2,000 spent) which is going free to a good home if anyone wants it....

I have a rover p6 1973 in need of a new owner. body panels are ok. engine runs. floor is mostly missing, and the interior is not good. I will never get around to restoring it. anyone interested ? oh btw it's only the 2 litre.

Now there you go BrianD3, forget about all those POS old japs, go for this one - it's got your name written all over it - and you will be an even happier Renault man

Clearly remember that our '70 R4 was p/ex'd for a new Simca 1100. The next door neighbours just got a brand new poo-brown R6. This was back in '74

there is a chocolate brown with cream leather interior Rover P5 3500 in my estate, it was parked up 2 years ago and not budged since.... a total waste

MercMad

So make him an offer for it !

I've just spoken yesterday to a friend of mine who's father has a P5B Coupe in his heated garage for about 20 years now. He wont use it or sell it !!

I've made him an offer but I know the sod wont budge !

Mike.

wasn't the A35 one of the first all-aluminum production cars?

Formula opel/vauxhall lotus chassis- alu honeycomb, need 4 corners, an engine and a box...

you might get someone who does hillclimbing interested in that assuming its not bent. Shame they scrapped the class, the cars still look relatively recent.

Con9903

anyone ever watch wheeler dealers on home and leisure. They restore modern classics. they've cleaned up a few nice cars, and do a good job.

Silvera

Yeah, I've seen that show. It's good, but Mike Brewer can be a bit ott !

(P.S. Con9903, your new sig picture is just scary - Pat Shortt at his worst ! :eek:)

Con9903

lol cheers thanks, thats the look I'm going for.

about Mike brewer, he gets on my nerves. The way he calls everyone "fella". the fact that he feels like hes 17 no matter what car hes in. the fact that every car makes him smile.

They don't seem to think that the skills required to do the work they do is beyond the ability of the average person - never mind the tools, garage space, and car lifts which they have at their disposal :rolleyes:

Yep, I've googled the Datsun 1200 and am now pretty sure that that's what I saw. The styling is a bit like a cross between a Corolla KE10 and a KE30

Is this the 2 door version of the 120Y?

BrianD3

Datsuns aren't my strong point but I think the car I saw and the one Silvera is referring to is the Datsun 1200 (B110 model) This was a predecessor of the Datsun 120Y (B210 model) Both the 1200 and 120Y were available with 2 or 4 doors.
Some info here
