Would take a LOT of work but with the panels, it could be done.

Only for the brave though... :shock:

I think if not a whole inner wing it will need part of one on the front end plus the rest and rear wing, rear valance and lamp panel for the rear.

Panels are getting harder to get and pricey. But it is Tax free!

Very brave if someone takes it on.

Even mine still had signs of the crash it had in 1987 when I stripped it. Things like a bent drivers seat runner, broken steering wheel and a wobble in the inner front wing so small items can get effected in this sort of crash.

I had one of my alfas come to me as a cat C write off and there's always more damage than you see in the pics with these things. Rear quarter, rear panel, bootlid, passenger door, front wing, headlamp panel, lower front valence and bonnet means it's really only viable if you have solid donor panels.

Looks like it'd be a great donor car though. Has anyone worked out where it is? I couldn't tell!

Looks like it, I doubt vandals would be able to inflict that much damage without some speed (and the force resultant) being involved!

At least it does have some parts left, as the rest of the trim looks ok. It also has a tax exempt ID....
