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

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

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

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 :| :|

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?

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)
