I'm sure a wee bit T-cut would bring it up a treat.

There's a car in the communal parking space just down the road from me that was there when I moved in 27 years ago.

At that time the tarpaulin covering it was extremely tatty, suggesting that it had already been place for well over a decade.

Since then the tarpaulin has been removed altogether, then replaced with another tarpaulin, then (when that too got tatty) replaced with plastic sheeting.

So the vehicle hasn't simply been abandoned but it's certainly not moved either!

Ohhh an early 60's Vauxhall Cresta. A bit of air in the tyres and it'll be just fine.
I also see that it has that fashionable 'Rat Rod' look ;-)

One day i was driving past and saw an elderly lady outside the front door .

Curiosity got the better of me so I stopped and had a chat with her

The story is that inside the garage is another car of the same make and model

Her son bought the one on the drive for spares to fix up the one in the garage .

After 50 + years he still hasn't got round to it yet

I wonder if it's sorned
Lol

looks rusted out, I doubt it's worth restoring, they are around £10k restored but it'll cost more than that to restore and you'd want to start with a much better one.
