Well that really is a "bitsa"!

I think I see a Reliant Robin rear window and an A35 dashboard. Gearbox from an 848. Front bumper from ???

I am sure it was a good "fun project" to work on.
Alas the reflection lines along the bodywork, some of the welding and interior trim does little to enhance the overall look.
Overall, for me it scores "nul points" and I just can't see any resale value. Sorry..

Oh dear, oh dear!

I do like the look of those door mirrors, though.
I wonder where he bought them from. Im going to ask the seller.

Thank you Peter.

There is so much information on the OCC pages, I was not even aware of the section you referred to.

I do hope that it was not a real Hornet that was destroyed here.
