1955 cadillac breaking project spares or repair banger racer

Description

1955 Cadillac fleetwood saloon imported from Texas into the UK in 2019 (the nova is on the dvla system)
My intentions was to upgrade all the running gear put it on air ride restore the interior but keep the outside in its original patina
The front and rear suspension is all jaguar xj from the later xj series 1995-2000 both have been rebuilt with new bearings and bushes ball joint etc but no brakes fitted (study the photos carefully so you know what your buying) or come and view it
No engine or gear box are being sold with the car
The body has been sand blasted to the inside underside roof and bulkhead and then epoxy primed
Considering it’s 70 years old it’s in good condition the main areas of rust are around the front and rear screens behind the chrome and the rest is just simple repairs the roof has some dents I was going to do and paint the roof in a darker green as this was a common colour option in the day and would have corresponded with the interior
With exception of the head lining carpet and original running gear I have all the parts I removed (note there may be a couple of bits missing) the original bonnet was in bad shape but I managed to get hold of a good one that will go with the car
I managed to get all the chassis suspension work done within the first 6 months of ownership but it’s not been touched since as I’m just to busy with other things so it’s time to cut my losses and move it on
I have boxes and boxes of the removed parts plus all the panels and interior so you will need to collect it with a trailer and large van
It would be nice to see it finished as I had planned but with most of the parts for these car being rare it would probably double it’s money as a parts car
Ideally I want to sell the car as a whole but as soon as the weather picks up and I get a bit of time it will be getting rid of it one way or another
So if I have enough interest I will part the car out so if there is anything you want let me know
If you wish to view the car (and it would be a good idea) just contact me and we can arrange a time/date
