I won’t fix it to pretend it’s more than it is.
I will fix it for my race car I can transport.
I know I can return it but not to perfection.
It’s really just a learning curve.
Such a newby on that after so many years.
I don’t really take advice well, but I give it like we all do.
I’ve got it’s motor already courtesy of others on here not suitable for the road but race track maybe.
The body though might best be forgotten than fixed so still in to minds.
Great front wings stone tray and roof.
Struts, wheels and rear diff and lots more help me and others finish projects.
I hope I have added value to others in that dept on this forum.

"I hope I have added value to others in that dept on this forum." sure have Wiggy.
I was watching that car on EBay and thought it would be a good buy for the parts alone.
A shell in that condition is really a blank canvas, you can make of it what you wish and learn along the way.

They were contemplating that sort of scheme here in NSW. I can’t remember the money they were offering but around $1000 for a swap. You would be selling privately at that cost. It all got to much for the Govt do they scraped it fortunately.
If it works in your favour then Good on you.

Alright finally bit the bullet and listed my
Capri on Gumtree. $38000 Diamond White Matching numbers V6 Auto. It’s for sale to highest price. Sorry holes elsewhere in life to fix so something has to sadly go. Such is life. Life goes on.

Question. I normally buy things and rarely sell. I’ve listed my Capri and now have someone who says they will buy it sight unseen and send an agent to collect.
They want my bank acc details or Paypal to deposit funds.
They have only given a name and say they can’t call. This sounds dodgy to me but sometimes it’s the case like where I live. I can’t often send a text and can’t call out from mobile while I’m at home or hear properly if I do.
So if I gave my paypal or acc no Bsb and name is their anything to lose.
Thanks for any help.

Sounds like a scam, 
If they have your name , your address (to send the agent ) and your bank details they can apply for credit etc in your name . They can make up the rest required - what you have given them will get them through a credit check then simply have the goods delivered to a different address . 
Paypal may be ok but you will get charged a percentage possibly ?

Haha. My credit rating is **** at the moment. That’s the reason for the sale.
Funny to think someone else could attain money when all my avenues have dried up.
I had $12,500 go from my acc in one night with my acc being locked down.
Straight to the bank following morning at 9am. While I was there the scammers showed up at the ATM outside and did a cardless withdraw of $500 seriously.
They broke into my house and took bank statements etc to get that far.
All I know is I wouldn’t pay for something I had not seen or have an address of where it is. Even then you can get scammed.
If they want it eventually they will call.
Really need it sold to the right person not an internet troll. Thanks all.

I suppose in my situation if it was a scam it would not work. The pick up address is not my address and I’ve got business accounts not linked to anything else (I run more than one company). Still it must be a scam I wouldn’t give anyone that much money not knowing who I’m giving to.

Wiggy, be careful.  Ring the buyer and verify their details.  Get a town they are in and offer to send a mate to their place to collect a deposit in cash.  I'll bet they are never actually contactable by phone and will want to deal by E-Mail or facebook Messenger.  They will say something like they work on oil rigs, or are FI-FO mine workers in the remote outback, or armed forces personnel on deployment.  They will most likely offer to send a tuck to collect the car etc etc.  Its a big international data scraping scam.
