Opinions please. Prepping a project for sale on ebay

[thall66]

Ok, here's the back story. I have too many projects. I had 4 Healeys, and now I'm down to three. One more needs to go. Two is as low as I'm willing to go right now (keeping BJ7 and BN7)The car in question is a late 1957 BN4 Longbridge. I picked this up last year, totally disassembled. "Welding completed".Upon fitting the panels, I noticed that they wouldn't fit. Specifically, the doors wouldn't fit. They had welded on patch panels to the inner fenders and replaced the door striker panel, but put everything in wrong. No problem. I removed the entire inner fenders and replaced with Kilmartin complete ones. I zip screwed everything together and hung the body, getting the gaps where I wanted them. And here it sits.At a bare minimum, I need to throw the suspension on it to make it a roller. Not as many buyers can handle a non roller. Easy enough.At question are the following:1) Do I weld on the inner fenders and rockers or leave it zip screwed for the next guy in case he wants to tweak them a hair to his liking?I'm not in hurry. I'm more interested in doing what would bring more buyers to the table. The screws don't get in the way of the body when it's hung, and allow a buyer to inspect the gaps in the final product.Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

On a project car like this, I think you are appealing to the same type of buyer whether screwed or welded but I'd leave it alone . Concentrate on assembling it as best as possible so it looks like an easy project.

Post up an add as-is and see if you get your reserve. If not, do some work and then repost it. It really isn't that expensive.

I'd say leave then as is, but make sure to note this is the case and they're not welded so you an't be accused of misrepresenting it.

I agree, leave as is, note the new panels in your ad, and mention that they have not yet been welded on so that "buyer can finish car to their standard"
