Just stumbled across this Kenmeri Skyline whilst advertising parts for sale.

Can you believe that someone wants it shipped from New Zealand to Salt Lake City U.S.A?! The current owner is breaking it for parts, and says that when he leaned into the back, his foot went straight through the floor pan. A little more crumbles away every day.

Such a shame they were made from the cheapest, thinnest steel around. lol

There must be a few quid in them if someone was willing to pay to have that one shipped,whether it would arrive in one piece after being in a container thats being moved around? I expect the new owner might have a rusty jigsaw puzzle delivered lol

Well the rear light panel alone would probably bring about £500. A lot of money to be made from breaking certain cars!

That RS1600i pear was a low mileage bucket, so had tons and tons of saleable parts on it still. Including an uncracked dash somehow!

We can direct any gimp that flaps about crusty arches to a genuine contender. As said, it makes you feel better when you have some of your own to repair. lol

My money is on a Lancia or something Japanese to take the dubious (toyota) crown. lol

Missed that. It's a Twink too!

Until I saw the engine, I presumed it had been redtopped and ripped apart with powahhh.
Now I see it's just 70's Ford 'steel' at work. lol

Always got time for a nice mk1 Escort. :d

I'd love a mk1 Capri, but for me it's cos they remind me of the Jap stuff - which is copied from stuff like the Capri to start with. lol
Like the Marina TC Coupe thing can look 'OK'. It reminds me of certain Skylines lmao.

Alfa ftw

This is my mates. It's made of the thickest steel I have ever seen this side of a dump truck. It is 64 years old. It will be a good few decades before it ends up in a similar state to that split bus. If ever!
