Default 1993 RR County LWB going, going...

Well, after 25 years I have decided the time has come to part with my '93 RR Classic LWB. The tinworm has gotten too firm a hold, and although she still runs well (I put in a 4.6 Coscast short block from AB about 3 years ago), I no longer have the time to deal with the rust problems on the underbody. It's a shame because the interior is still very nice and clean -- the back seat was hardly ever used, the door trim and seats are very good, etc. A lot of new mechanical parts have been fitted during the past 2 years, too: rear final drive, viscous coupling in the transfer case, 1 front CV joint (the other is still in the box), speedo cable, alternator....

I have offered it for sale, for parts or restoration, at $2500 Cdn but the underbody rust (particularly the sills) quite rightly means a lot of time and $$ would be needed for a buyer to get it through the Ontario safety certification. I have received a number of enquiries but the extent of the rust puts buyers off and I can't blame them. It would need a real enthusiast with time and facilities to do a proper restoration.

If I get no takers, my options are to junk it or take out the engine and junk the rest. I wouldn't mind keeping the engine, as I could use it in my 1970 P6B, but right now I don't have the time to take it out, and winter's coming.

The car is located north of Toronto in Aurora, Ontario.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
