Picked it up Today

After a 500 mile round trip from Sunny Surrey to Wet, Damp and Miserable Mid Wales I finally made it back complete with my new Mini-el.
Sad as it seems E937 MRW is in a very poor state of repair.
The original resistor based speed controller has been removed and replaced with a non working, water logged Curtis 1203 !!!
90% of the wiring has been removed.
Motor is shot. ( Never knew they used Pacific Scientific Motors )
Battery carrier is rotted beyond recovery.
Rear shocks have more rust than the Titanic.
Springs just about had it.
Original display has been removed and replaced with a very cheap battery volt meter and a bicycle speedo.
Seat rotted away as is the adjuster rail.
Front and rear lights broken.
No Charger.
Canopy gas struts not holding canopy in the up position.
Wheels are all very corroded.
Couple of good points:
Canopy is more or less free of scratches.
Body is filthy but generally all OK, will be even better once its re-sprayed.
What on earth have I let myself in for ?
SANITY TO ME IS ONLY A PAST TIME
