What to do what to do?
Last night I was walking around my neighborhood with my wife. We came across a garage on a side street. I saw lights peaking out of an open garage from afar.
Once I got close, Isaw a TR4 under a pile of boxes and stuff. It looked nice from afar. I found the owner, he invited me inside to look. I has 103000 miles on it. The body looks to be bondoed around the rear quarter, and there was rust at the sills. Worse was when he pointed out the floorboards. The passenger side is rotted away. He put a new dash and Had the mechnics and hydraulics looked over.
Here it is, a garage kept, possibly restorable TR4 (original patinaed wires) that he hopes to get to "someday" . He needs the money to have the rust dealt with. I don't know what the underside looks like, but it won't pass PA safety inspection.
darn shame he bought that whole new walnut dash, and its going to waste. He hopes his son who is 16 will get involved. Sure, with no one to show him. He needs a body guy.
What could be the plan to wear these people down and put the car into someone's hands who could use it? These situations drive me nuts.
