I obtained this '77 Clubman S, and I'm not sure what to do with it.... I don't need it, don't have the space to keep it, could use some of the parts of it, but don't really want to see it destroyed either. it obviously has it's share of rust problems, but nothing that can't be fixed...

My son wants to cut it up and steal part of the body, but he's an unscrupulous and dastardly scavenger who can't be trusted, so I'm looking for suggestions....

I figure it's worth $300-$350 as a whole.... but not sure what to do

I had one very similar and I chopped mine up... literally.

Each to their own, but I'd wreck that one.

hmmmmm.... whereabouts in ballarat are you? it looks saveable, but if you do wreck it i may be interested in some postage-free parts

Thats the exact type of car we look for up here in Sydney for club motorsport hacks & to teach the kids to drive on, if its a runner i'd sell it off complete as someone may want it for that purpose.

Hay, it's not about the car, it's not about the venue, it's about the people that come here. Peter Dwyer, Mayor of Hay NSW.

Bit too much Jimmy Dancer in that one. Put it out of it's misery

Hijack sort of..
When I lived in Ross Creek there was a house in State Forest Rd that had 3 Minis. Wonder if its (they're) still there?

Dicko.

Tthat's a very good point, and thoughtfull too.... but the pans are different from 71/2 to 77/8. The tunnel especially. If you are going to do that to a GT, best get a complete floorpan from a Clubby the same year model (with remote change).

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. Ideal Khana car for someone with a bit of work.

hmmmm

yeah too bad its not 800kms north and about 5-6 yrs older

Woulda been perfect

still thats very repairable, and doesnt look like it would need much
(compared to mine )

thats a rare car in NZ. Would definetely be worth restoring if it was in NZ
from your photos it doesnt look too far gone
