Hi there folks , new to the forum . Have come accross an Isuzu Bellet 2 door that the farmer says I can have. Now I am not sure about these vehicles as I have always been into vws all my life. I am considering removing it for him but just dont know if they are a worthy car to remove and part out or sell so I can fund my 56 kombi project. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

some pics of the car would help to value it, also if it is a complete runner or non runner or just a wreck!

Welcome to the forum! If only it's for a short period while this car is saved!
Every single one saved is a bonus so thanks for doing a bit of research and contacting us rather than towing it off to the scrap merchants!
Cheers,
Dave

About two years ago I paid $2000 for one, north of Townsville, was complete not going, and not a lot of rust.
I have restored it and if you look on this site under Isabell grand tourer, that is it now. What do you want for it? Always in the market for another one, but be aware they cost a fortune to restore.

I have to establish on thursday that it has the GT parts on it still , establish what condition it is in , etc , etc. Like I said , would be nice to get some money to go towards my passion , ie VWs. Will know for sure tomorrow. Will send the people I have spoken to the pictures. Oh yes , there is a phone number on the first post , cheers

Here are some pictures. It looks to be a basket case. There is hope that the engine and various parts are at the neighbours property as there is a 4 door there with the parts in (so the guy tells me) Its a PR90. Good for parts only. There is however an good nick mazda 1500 1 of the sheds that he will give to me also. Anybody need parts for their PR90 or after a mazda 1500 project ?

thanks for the pics VW'S.
but OMG.... you're correct. that poor PR90 GT is pretty bad.
but anything is fix-able with enuf time and money.
looks like it'd be an experience to just retrieve it too!
