Can someone else who knows their dub take a look at the pictures of the front axle and tell me if that really is a scaffolding clamp.

The previous owner was an engineer. Apparently.

Has this one been on before? It just needs finishing.

Finishing? Finishing? It wants bloody burning. Some numpty is going to pay over a grand for this useless collection of GRP and cat poo.

It's a big overgrown, and somebody has nicked half the engine...

Should be relatively easy to sell!

It did include a 2-axle trailer!

Ha ha, Could have drawn better pictures!! Couldn't imagine doing a project like that, imagine trying to source things, headlights, windscreen, or a body panel!! Nightmare, consider buying it for the trailer!! Leave the car outside his house

[danyeates]

it will be quite quick when completed, in fact extremely frightening I imagine, probably with ghastly handling and minimal brakes. The car has a tall screen, about the height of the rear hoop and thus is blessed with the aerodynamics of a wall

Ha ha it's back and still looks aweful. I love the seat


Like a part bench, 150bhp and 400kg, probably either fall off the back or topple out the side!!!

Perhaps what is needed is some eBay Kit Car Top Trumps. Cars could be scored on the following criteria: Level of Completion (selection of parts lying on the floor rates highest) Ambitiousness of project (A Countach from a Beetle for a kit price of £999.99 would win here) Accuracy of copy (A Testerossa replica that looked like a slightly larger version of a Bond Bug would take top honours) Puniest engine relative to original car (current leader - the Pilgrim Sumo.) International "Most pitiful attempt at a dashboard" rating Largest number of weeds growing through the engine bay Amount of money wasted before the project was abandoned The number of people who took the p*ss Incidentally, today is National Not Listening To Jules Day.

Perfect

Going to score all of mine from now on

[jules_s]

Incidentally, today is National Not Listening To Jules Day.

Nah, nah, nah-nah nah

[JimH]

Now this one would score very highly in the completion and weeds categories. Based on morris 1300.

Oh dear, I've got so excited my rectum has prolapsed.

Edit: It looks for all the world like his kids have been using it as a paddling pool.

"The donor car is in a bad state....." TAKE A LOOK AT THE FCUCKING KIT MAN! ITS FOOKED AS WELL! Just to let everyone know that I got an e-mail confirming that its 5p listing day on e-bay today, so expect a glut of easy to finish projects!

My car is so embarrasingly sh*te that I won't even take a proper photo of it

A vision of what the offspring of a lotus elan and "the roadgoing boat" may look like.

Cracking haul there, TT. I'm loving the 1967 Countach, only three years before Gandini styled it.
