Au contraire, this would be a perfect basis for a Spit-6 (CGT).

There will be no chassis on this car; stored as it was, it is long gone. This is one of those cases where you would have to hold the ignition key in position and build the car around it.

There are reasons for doing just that. However there are a million times more reasons NOT to do it.

Yep, it's a goner.

I would say that any kind of jacking or pulling on that thing will just pull it apart. I bet the chassis is about as strong as tin foil at this point.
