chris (or anyone else),
i also have a perfect whole radiator panel (never been hit) all
unstitched and ready to weld onto another car if anyone has a
bashed up front they need to fix. (this was my plan for my car, but
instead i found a better total shell just before the welding was going
to start).
chris, i also have a friend selling a 1600 for around $300 (i think).
he has told me he thinks its only good for parts but i havent seen
it, and it may be worth a look for what you are after. still regoed too
i think. in croydon (near ringwood).
