I've seen worse rebuilt.  I just saw an article on a BMW roadster that had broken in half under the doors and was resurrected.

But that IS a bad case.

It could use an Earl Scheib paint job: "Any car, any color, only $99.95, no ups, no extras!"

Sometimes bumpers and window glass, too. They weren't too careful about masking.

If only Earl Scheib and Madman Muntz were still around, you could fix up that TR-6 like new and go cruising with your 4-track blaring.

Could be. Never saw it, so I don't know. I was talking about Earl "Madman" Muntz, who invented the first four-track tape and built the first inexpensive TVs and the Muntz Jet.

I had a Muntz stereo 8-track (complete with the logo of the little Napoleon guy with the tricorner hat) in my '66 GTO.
