Survivor car

Just document it the best you can. Photos and notes, plus drawings and sketches if you're into that too.

You've got to clean it to make a full assessment.

What you do with it from there, and how you want to define survivor is up to you. I think Day 2 or 'as raced' or 'as driven' are all just as valuable time capsules as factory showroom.

When I was at Carlisle 2 years ago looking through the 'survivors' for various details of interest to me, many of these details had been replaced. Others had their hoods and trunks closed - I think on purpose. So my take away was the amount of original unrestored remaining on any individual 'survivor' varied quite a bit.
