Picked this up for an embarrassingly low price off of Craigslist last week.
Missing headlight buckets, front bumper, and keys. Everything else is supposedly there and it was ostensibly a running car two years ago. Headlights were the glassed-in European ones and were scadged for the restoration of a nicer car.
The interior is fried. Totally ruined.
As it happens, I know a previous owner of the car from Connecticut who claims it was a CA car at one point. How it wound up here in Wisconsin is anyone's guess.
On the plus side, the M10 is supposed to be a breeze to work on. The clutch pedal has no give whatsoever and it looks to be stuck in neutral.
The rust is too pervasive for this to be a restoration candidate but I kinda want to see if we can get it running and driving just for the heck of it.
I'm new to these cars and any advice is welcome.
