Saved this from being scrapped!!3 door 1983 340

Post by J340GLT » 19 Mar 2013 10:53 pm

So basically I was informed that this car needed to be removed from a garage in North London as the garages were being demolished. If the owner couldnt find anyone to pick up the car, it would be scrapped so therefore I had to save it!!!

Not sure what the plan is at the moment, as I have purchased another 2 300's!

As you can see in the pics, a few rust issues on the passesnger side, the reverse lense has fallen out and as it hasnt been on the road since 2003,it may need a service!!haha.ooh and a bit of a dent on the roof and also needs a passenger side glass as some nice chap smashed that.

Cheers

Jay

Nice one...got it for free?!

Manual?

Dent might pop out a bit but probably still leaving fair bit of damage.

Rust that bad on the arch suggests worse below :( Hope not though.

Excellent stuff, nicely saved. I like it :)

Looks a little rough around the edges, but I'm sure you can bring it back to life. It's an '83 model year, which you don't see many of, for some reason.

Hi Jay.
Well saved mate, doesn't look to bad to me. Just around the edges.
I see a couple of missing centre caps.
Cheers Mark.
