Unless you've personally discovered it in a relatives long-forgotten, but bone-dry barn it's almost certainly too much of a project.

If it's on the open market for between 5-10k and not already sold, it's either a scam or has nasty surprises lurking.

If it is, that’s definitely not a newbie project. It’s cheap for a reason. It needs new floors, outer sills (probably inner sill repairs too), doglegs, wing bottoms, more than likely battery tray area, chassis rails likely suspect, etc. It has a glass sunroof, which these days is seen as a must-delete (a car with one is worth less that one without) and thus needs a donor roof skin. I could go on, and that’s just from the photos...

The advert also has Frimley, Surrey as the town but Poland as the country.
I might be wrong but I can't help noticing that the buildings in the photos have some Eastern European characteristics.
Specifically, the roof overhang of nearby building and the stairs/railings of the house.

Yep, that was the one, and yes it is indeed from Poland. Thanks for the replies, good to have some actual expertise on this stuff, I’ll give this one a miss and stay well away from rust in the future as a rule of thumb then.
