How did you manage to right the car from being on its roof  . Looks like an in depth priject. |

If you can tow it without running the risk of pulling the front off, then I'd probably try to put it in gear like you're trying to bump start it, but start by putting it in fourth so you don't spin the engine too fast! It's gonna need a rebuild whatever happens but it'll be a lot easier to pull apart if it all moves! Good luck with it though, looks like a pretty cool little car!

I've heard ford cortina or capri spring hanger repair panels are a close match and cheap. These cars look great especially with early hunter/minx trim. I don't know why they arent worth ford cortina money

Well the photos are dismal but I've seen worse bodywise, undoubtedly needs lots of of welding and general improvement but a worthwhile long-term project.

What’s the condition of the interior? I would say full-scale long term project that wouldn’t be complicated to bring back to life if you can do the majority of bodywork and paint prep yourself. Only you know if you’re in a position to take this on.
Post some better pics of this and the other one!
