Rusty Wrecks-Your Photos (Originals please)

[CitroJim]

This near my son's - adjacent garage driveway but belongs to someone a few streets away.
Hasn't moved in the three years that my son has lived there and not for three years before that.

Was interrupted by our local councillor and abandoned the photography, may be back tomorrow to conclude it.

A Landcrab?

And dissolving into the land.

I pull this out of the junkyard, slowly fixing it up

Third gen Hilux - nice! I'm surprised someone sent one of those to the junkyard

The last one of those I bought and sold needed an awful lot of welding.

I found a bumper for it, and put 405 seats in, Ive documented the build in the link https://www.instructables.com/Rat-Rod-Rescue/

Super write-up! I'm looking forward to having a proper read later after I put the kids to bed

My first thought was a Fiat X1/9 but the fuel filler is wrong...

Looking at the wheel my inclination was towards a Lancia, maybe a beta spyder but I don't really think so. The front wing is too pointed. Maybe something else from a similar heritage?

Wasn't really intended to be a Whatsthisthen? Knowing what they are and having driven past them many times I thought it was too easy to trouble the FCF faithful with. There is a nice white one at Anglia Car Auctions 1st/2nd April which would fit into the open-top motoring thread nicely, and they do come in some nice colours and often a quirky Tartan interior. I quite like them. Maybe they should have done the bodyshell in aluminium though!

Tartan suggests a TR7 to me
