      All it needs, is a wax job !

      My "Love It" goes for an effort to try and rescue it! I imagine the hardware can be salvaged and re-used or sold...? Or, with enough motivation, it sure can become a trunk again. Would love to see the "after" pics.

      I'm bad at letting go of things....but....this would be one of them.

      The question would be is it worth saving? I suspect the cost to rework it would be far more than what it would be worth in terms of selling it when finished.

      Unfortunately too far gone... not even for parts.
