It is just a cosmetic restoration or a complete rebuild?

She looks like a great prospect Joanne. Is the engine free or does that need work?

Colin engine free & we have a spare.
Taking mum down memory lane..young 84..
Folks had a singer before they married & also honeymooned in.
We have just finished restoring 61 beetle..3yr project..built engine from scratch.
While checking the local for sales the singer popped up in same suburb..

Looking great Joanne - the engine appears to be very clean and ready to go, presumably due to the rebuild.
