	Don't just love those 'resto projects' listed on the bay. I have a thread similar to this on another forum I frequent. So what is on the bay which is more than a little optimistic when beng described as a 'Project' 'barn find' 'spares or repairs' - here are some the current faves of mine, www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1979-FORD-ESCORT-MK2-GHIA-AUTO-FOR-RESTORATION-NO-ENGINE-GOOD-CAR-/290758432584?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item43b28d9748#ht_514wt_1188 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MORRIS-MINOR-TRAVELLER-1959-FOR-RESTORATION-/390450979212?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item5ae8b1218c#ht_500wt_971 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1974-FORD-GRANADA-MK1-COUPE-3-0-GHIA-SPARES-OR-REPAIR-BANGER-CAR-STOOD-YEARS-/160861707952?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item25741adeb0#ht_2394wt_1188 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1983-FIAT-PANDA-SUPER-BLACK-SPARES-OR-REPAIR-STOOD-FOR-YEARS-/160861711625?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item25741aed09#ht_542wt_1188 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VOLVO-AMAZON-121-SPARES-OR-REPAIR-ONE-OWNER-/200801170039?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2ec0aeb277#ht_500wt_1205 What have you seen?

	There's not much point to these threads to be honest, things that are popular and hard to find/valuable will get restored from almost nothing while most other stuff will be bought as spares cars or for the V5 or both.
	Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.

Yep, the value of the '59 Morris Minor is bound to increase because it won't need an MOT again!

	That panda might seem like a lost cause, but try finding another pre 86 panda (86 is when the mk1b panda came out) especially a super. In fact if i had room for it, i would be putting in a bid.

	At least they're being offered for sale, instead of going straight over the weigh bridge. In an ideal world even if they didn't see the road again themselves, they may keep other cars on the road. Unfortuantley we don't live in an ideal world and it seems people sometimes have an over optimistic idea of what their stuff is worth.
