Yeah it was stored at my brothers property on hard dirt and under a car cover for 4yrs.. My mate Dave was was living in a caravan at the time.
Laurie Nelson was the guy, thanks for reminding me that.
Glad the car has second life and in good hands now, honestly Dave who owned it was a car destroyer, had no mechanical knowledge at all and no money to match lol
Some of the worst I seen go thru his hands and get chopped up was a import mk1 Capri XLR, very restorable at the time but to him it was worth more as parts, then there was a mk1 escort 2dr GS (gt 6 dual dash panel etc) shell pulled from a wrecker and chopped the roof off it to make a convertible, needless to say the floor folded on the stands and that was that. Some days to regret from back then..
