Kind of amazing that someone had it registered as recently as '04.

I went through the photos and you will see they are going ahead to make the repairs. There are shots of the passenger floor pan after replacement.

It's nice to see there is some brave soul out there looking to save another 113.

I don't think I could bring myself to work on a car like that car unless I got it for next to nothing to start with, even then I'd have a lot of second thoughts, it would be a long expensive journey..... but for someone with intentions of doing it right and bringing it back to original condition I give them a lot of credit.
