Fast Marina Magazine

At the weekend we were at eglington park and this local guy approached us and asked if we wanted a marina. So obviously we said yes unaware what make , model, condition etc. So went down tonite and this is what greeted us.

Pic 1 :- the entrance.



more pics coming very soon just waiting on them downloading.

I take it you declined his offer then was anything salvageable ?? front wings for martin maybe

:shock: Bloody hell Ray...never seen one as bad as that!, looks like it was dipped in sea water and left to dissolve!...too far gone even for me i think!!

Hmmm me thinks that that is a tad rusty ray.Dont think it will ever leave its resting place.In one peace at least.He didnt excatly say it was like that on Sunday.Least the tail lights are complete. :roll:

the pictures don't actually show how really bad this car is. Having said that the interior is brown vinyl and in cracking nick as are the carpets, not even a rip. It says 1.3 deluxe on the boot but has a 1.8 engine in it.

There are barn finds,
and then there are those sort of finds where the metal is going back to where it came from!
Looks like this guy was having a joke.
If you can chip the limescale off the glass it maybe good

Bit like that one on Ebay which they strimmed all the weeds away so you can see the rust and accident damage, which probably is the reason it was left there to rot.

Shame for any car to be left to get to that state.

he bought the farm not that lomng ago and this particular 1 is a bit out of the way. there is also a lada there as well in a similair state of dis-repair.

8) Guess where the carpets are going brown or not who cares. Once the mats and the console go in they will hardly be noticed. Its not as if someone is going to come up at a show and say they are the wrong colour.As long as they cover the floor it doesnt matter.....hession backed as well....maybe I could dye them.
Its got 2 good chrome wiper arms as well.
The scrapman will give a big note for it anyway. 8)

stu this is just the challenge for you and andy

That will be a challange to get that car out off there in one peace Larry.May be some very brave person to take it on and we will see it in pc mag in a few years time. Me thinks not some how or other.

:shock: If Stu thinks i`m mad swapping my Van for the ST, he would be totally out of his tree to tackle that one Ray!
