Pulled this out of the sheds on the estate recently with my younger cousin who is an inspiring mechanic.

non runner?

[The tree monkey]

least its honest and original mate! could have been shiny and full of puddin!

Maybe one day, prefer the look of that tracked towing beast though - Ed, yeah not running - SOC, tried jumping it, but this model is semi automatic so no clutch. had a job just freeing up the wheels and bringing it for a wee tow about the yard .

True Monkey - true enough as well. Don't judge the old bug by its skin, the engine and pistons look reasonably clean, and apart from the body, nothing else is badly decayed.

Scrap is fetching top dollar at the moment.....

is everything else is top notch apart from the body it would be worth your while to sand it all down to bare metal and if most of the body is sound then do re spray and sell it for a big profit

If you sand that down there will be nothing left.
