Well Mike, I'd be tempted as well. If I had space to store it (the toyboxes are currently full  ;) ) I'd buy that simply because it's incredibly cheap. $500 for a front end plus front bonnet ? A bargain even if you don't do your own glass fibre work.

Although replacing an entire front end is a big job, you also have the option of cutting repair sections from it, i.e. the front corners to repair the usual low speed accident damage ?

Heck, it would make for cool garage art. Would look neat hanging on the wall. On occassion I have thought it would be neat to pick up an early Europa that was thoroughly beat and could be had for a song, just so I could remove & clean up the shell and hang it on the wall. :pirate:
The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.
