Still I guess you have most of the panels needed to get it done Matt? I'm tempted but I've enough on my plate at the moment with the business and a Triumph Stag.. ahem!
Ben,you're right,but you can't get enough of a good thing .

The vendor thinks it needs sills as well as the front end.Unless it's seriously rotten underneath the panels aren't a problem,it's just getting someone to fit them..........FRANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good to see she`s still alive!...just! :roll: , if anyone takes it on it looks as though she needs a full going over but nothing is too far gone as long as the bits are out there

.I stll have a lot of the more unusual panels if anyone fancies a go at her

Go on Tony, get rid of a few of those old Saabs to make space to save her.

You know you want to!!!!!!!

I got one genuine wing here waiting and looks like it would go nice on that car

Dave, if I had the space I would!!(Money would help aswell!) At the mo wrong time. LDV van been fitted out as a camper and my old Maestro van is in need of sorting to put back on road( and the list goes on...........!) :x

On the plus side a few Saabs have gone!!!

Someone out there must save her!

Went to see the old girl today and I'm afraid it isn't good news

From what I could determine she needs front wings (obviously),valance,crossmember,headlamp panels,a posts repaired,inner and outer sills,front floors and jacking points,spring hangers repaired/replaced,repairs to arches/rear quarters,rear light panel,rear valance (supplied) as is bonnet and good bootlid.Areas of the chassis looked like they may need some repair/replacement.The doors would probably re-skin and I'm sure there'll be bits that I've missed.On the plus side it's fairly complete and it's a TC Coupe

And a very rare colour :shock:

I've spoken to the seller again and the only interest has been in the interior/sunroof and bits of chrome.I get the impression a friend is storing it and it's in the way :| :|

OH, Not looking good then

Could be another genuine TC biting the dust.

What a shame it got left to get in such a state as it was a nice looking TC Coupe.
Was that Franks Damask TC coupe or someone elses?

It's possibly WAA the tc coupe.

With A heavy heart I have to report that this icon has now gone

............to some clown near Newcastle.........where's me spinning bow tie and face paint? :roll: :roll:

My opposite neighbour,who is trying to sell her house was delighted to witness it's arrival......perhaps :?

Fear not,I'll sort a garage and give it a stay of execution at the very least

.He hasn't quite said as much,but I suspect Frank can't wait to get his hands on this one.I'm sure he dropped hints at the National.Well he didn't tell me to scrap it so he's obviously keen

Brian,the transport man,also had one of the first right hand drive Deloreans on the back of his truck :shock:.Presumably worth a few quid,he was quite bemused when the vendor taped up the front windscreen upon collection.When questioned,said chap stated that they "p*ss in water even in a heavy drizzle".So there you go,we're not alone on that one and we pay a lot less for the pleasure 8)
