Oh , i thought it was original V8 3.5 you took out of it  ;D
I still look at the P6 and most in my budget range would be full of rust  :'( One day i would like to own one  :)

 I was given a P6 2200TC years ago for banger racing. It only had the plastic removed from the drivers seat and door card. To good to race, so I sold it and it was restored as it was only the rear wings that were bad on it. Brown with a white fabric interior

The ones i have seen have looked really rotten , ie floor pans/sills and some with chassis rot . Nothing that cant be fixed but too much for me to take on nowadays . Best thing is to buy one already restored and just drive it  :)
