Went for a look-see. The tube frame is in perfect condition. (only has a couple of welds to tidy up) (about $4k worth of frame new) The professionally done aluminium interior panels are still there except for the dash & gauges. (about $2k worth of tin work) The rear axle is gone. The front end is modified 1200 struts with rack and pinion steering adapted to it. The Toyota engine is a junk place holder for mocking up the engine mounts and such. The Ecology valet parking staff wasn't too condsiderate - but the body could be salvaged. It is 100% rust free & already cut and spliced for rear wheel tubs. The front end is ready for a one piece 'glass clip. If anyone in the greater L.A. area is considering building a dragster based on the 1200 sedan, get down to the Heritage Road Ecology Auto Parts in Chula Vista pronto! Bring 3 or 4 buddies, an air chisel and for ~$150, you can walk out with a dragster project that's got the majority of the work done. (except for the doors and windscreen - they were in such good shape that I liberated them)
