Hello All
This appears to be a good quality starting point for a restoration.

always interested in some of the "entry" level or "barn finds" of pagodas. I see a lot at UK auctions which clearly need a lot of work, but the pitfalls seem so risky. I am not a restorer but it does seem these cars are far more difficult and more costly than other cars to restore. In the uk for example of you had a rusty body on an early ford, or mini you could always buy a new heritage shell and swap over the oily bits, but of course pagoda "shells" don't exist. Seen a few cars where they have been restored but with massive issues where the front grill wont fit any longer or door gaps are massive etc. I guess a true full restoration is a real costly and very technically difficult. Buyer beware I guess. ??

Too much body work is needed where the front fenders are mounted... Price is too high for this one.

It seems one just sold on our very own for sale forum!
