I can't help myself and I keep buying more projects, despite telling myself no!

You did pretty good on this one. It's a complete car! I had 5 to 6 of these back in the 1980s. So much Fun!🇺🇸🎩🇺🇸

Good restauration project ! The gears seem à bit noisy, not only in first. Aren't they ?

Nice colour, looks basically sound, just some rot and filler in outer panels, at least parts easy to get, engine sounds nice, love the whine on first . With a tune up will be fun to drive.

Absolutely gorgeous one of my favourite cars and a great basis for a resto project and for goodness sake replace that hideous steering wheel with the original banjo type they are beautiful and they’re lovely to hold when driving

Make sure you remove all rust down to the bare metal, then apply Phosphoric Acid, until it turns black, then paint with primer, and enamel. Some joker may have just tried to paint over the rust to hide it so... you got your work cut out for you everywhere. Rust is like tooth decay... you want it all gone, everywhere.

That is the standard factory bonnet prop. It changed just after yours to the telescopic style.

Its metal no I mean it's all needs a new body. Oh mamma what have I done!!!

Stick it back on ebay as a project that needs lots! of welding. you need to do more homework before buying a midget and rust :}
