Oh dear. I'd have thought that would cost more to collect than the value of any useful parts.
More a work of nature I'd have said Les!

A couple of weekend work and she will be as right as rain

Just needs a bit of polish.

But seriously, what’s the worst moggy that’s been successfully restored?

179 was pretty bad!

Restoring a car can mean replacing a lot of parts, not sure how much original stuff would need to be saved to qualify before it became a rebuild/replica.

Interesting point.

If you had the registration documents and one original hub cap, could you rebuild from spares and legally keep the same registration number?

179 is like “Trigger’s broom”
The roof and stamped firewall is original!

1000077 must have been terminal as they used another bodyshell!!

A "Million" with LBM?

Oooops...

LBM, that brings back memories of a couple or three years back, anyone remember the crazy posts and that guy who said he was a QC or something? I don't think I'm imagining it!

Subject STILL remains unresolved, bit like the 9/11 airliners able to travel through the twin towers with no damage to their nose cones!!

That's a new one on me!

Even at the time, I thought it strange why the wings/engine's didn't break off upon impact....expect to see SOME part of an airliner fall to the ground....Bit peculiar!!

Nothing disappears, maybe just changes its state. There was plenty of fuel involved.

Apparently, the engines they DID find came from other 'planes....dunno WHAT/WHO to believe!!

Post by **SteveClem** » Sat Feb 24, 2018 6:43 pm

Sounds a bit like a dodgy conspiracy theory?

Maybe they carried spare engines in case the original ones gave trouble on route!
