Testament went and checked it out back in 2009.
Im pretty sure its not moved in that time, and 5 long years in that leaky car port hasnt done it any favours but its hopefully still savable and looks pretty much the same just mouldier.
Photos shamelessly stolen from Toms thread on T124, unsure of the photographer:
rust hole in floor - this is the only 'major' rust I saw - plenty of minor stuff to keep me busy for a while including the roof.

This thing popped up on Trade Me on Friday afternoon, and by Saturday morning id had a good look and pressed buy now (including delivery).
I havnt got it quite yet so fingers crossed i dont get bumped by a silly offer as there were 5 questions already and 3 other people coming that day.
Dude is a bit of a character and has plenty of very cool cars but hes moving so (some of) it gots to go.
Its mostly complete, just missing one of two chrome strips on one door, and the tail lift glass is perspex. It also has a broken tail light but i think the more common sedan ones will fit .
It has rust of course, but nowhere near as much as i would have thought, but where it was stored was pretty damp and the worst is around the roof edge, and one hole in the drivers floor/sill from a bump from underneath i think. All the doors, panels and tail gate etc is really good and the rego is on hold.
Engine hasnt run for years, and is a 2300cc inline six with a single dual throat weber that produced a claimed 80kW @ 5300 rpm and 184Nm @ 3000 rpm when new.
Some youtubing of 2300S Coupes show that the engine definitely has some potential!
Also has bench seats, 4 speed column change and patina.
Plan is to fix the rust, repaint the roof, clear coat the rest, lower and roll.
If plan A of recommissioning the existing driveline doesn't work out, i'm open to something silly just so as long as its I6.
Cars history (as i understand it) is that its a low milage car, and one of only a few (2-5) RHD models in NZ. Sign writing (and blue repaint over burgundy) was for Nautilus Marine of Napier, after which it was in a big private collection there, then bought buy the current owner to do up and turn into a caravan towing cruiser, but over taken by too many other projects.
Pics below are from trade me:

I did mine with a die grinder
i hope you used an eye-crometer and a finger-gauge to ensure accuracy and wore safety jandals while breathing through a replaceable tobacco-based particulate filter.

and what UJ said.

Dellortos/Webers/carbs generally need flow not pressure, >5psi is probably too high for the needle valve to control and maintain the correct level in the bowl and most books say 2.5-4psi is best.
get a FP Gauge first or find out what pressure your pump is before throwing money/time at it as it could be just a worn out needle valve or poor float settings too.
BTW, changing the pumps location wont alter the pressure a the carbs, so don't do that unless there is another reason (noise etc).

Well it has all the other times.

unless that is attached to the mounted engine and actually comes out that sky high, it should be fairly easy(!) to shorten the shifter extension?

I dreamt (fore saw?) i had one of these just the other day and for some reason I was doing a 2106 (black plastic, not chrome) twin headlight conversion (not a hideous eastern european angel eyes bad boy one) and was putting my croma turbo engine in it.
Something about the big TVs on the front make me ache for the good old days of Soviet communism, when single headlighted cars were aspirational.
Still, cool car, but not as cool as my story, bro.
More low and painted wheels please.

Come at me with your parts leads, hints and tips on maintaining patina, turd polishing and good wagoneering lifestyle support groups.
Also maybe engine swaps, air bags and turbos, but thats for later, maybe. Probably not but maaaybee.
