Maybe not an easy fix but far from impossible and yes, one heck of a deal.  There are some pricey parts that are extremely hard to find.  Differential cover for example.  It also has the CV axle upgrade, there 1200 to 1400 dollars right there and the Weber head conversion.

Trevor...........here is your chance as the guy is not that far from you.  UNLESS it has a salvage title, then stick a fork in it.

I've been without internet for the last month, so I missed this one. Thanks for looking out for me, Mike. This would have been a nice find, including swapping the weber head onto my Europa. Cheers

Trevor,  this one is headed near Calgary Alberta.  The auction was stopped early and the car sold for more than the listed price you see on the auction.  I would have been all over this but the garage is packed.
