    It was owned by a local bloke in the early 90's who crashed it and converted it to a ute..

    Yuk. I imagine most of them have been recycled into Hyundais! And good panels and running gear put into 1-tonners.

    I'd like to think that it could be brought back to life.
    It was on Ebay about 12 months ago but don't remember what the end result was.
    I think A LOT of stuff would be needed to be done, to bring it back to it's former glory.
    Would be interesting though.
