Also saw this on the bay. Glad someones bringing it back to life. What a weapon! Be great to see some images of the work done and when its finished.

I remember seeing the pictures of it with the dash stripped out and everything! Should be good fun getting it all put back as it should be though!

Went for £230-ish last night.

 

[dicko's]

the fact it was red and black also didnt help, bidded on it but wasnt going to pay that much as dont really want that colour.

So the search is back on for a grey interior grrrr

Will be putting work in progress pics up as we go along, tonight when its home ill get some photos of exactly what the inside looks like, as its got bugger all basically lol.

poor car

[rich.h44]

LOL i didnt do the school run in it too many mothers in 4x4s who were slightly liable to whack it

Shopping at Tesco though, park in the baby bays when youve got a little un so didnt get damaged

possibly, not sure yet will see how we get on with it, did our first track day a few weeks back at Croft was good fun

 

[dicko's]

Its on our driveway now, had a bit of a fiddle and its now running, considering it hasnt been started for best part of a year it sounds sweet as a nut

 

[Martin M]

Excellent stuff! Is the interior all you need to get work underway?
