You should have read the comments underneath :-)

Mind you, the cars looked in a pretty sorry state, and if the bodies were anything to go by, the chances are that the engines would also have seized up long since.

Do you not watch Wheeler Dealers on Sky ? They can refit anything these days.

I don't have Sky. Don't want Sky. Wouldn't have Sky even if it were free.

I have, however, seen some sort of refurbishing programmes, but they all seem to be a case of "Washington's Original Axe" (or Trigger's Original Broom, for a UK version) - 10 new Heads & 15 new handles - but still the original axe (broom).

Replace the body that's falling apart with rust. Looks nice now, but won't go. Replace the engine. Looks nice & goes. Perfect condition original Vintage Car.
