Hi Guys!

Making a return with a restore of my old car…. Its come full circle!!!!

it was an ex that got me to sell it 3 years ago, i found it and had to have it back! but its come back to me in a very sorry state… Got the bug to bring her back bigger and better than before!
It hasnt been run in 18 months/2 years did a service on all sparks filters etc and welded the handbrake and throttle pedal back to the car(animaled…) charged battery and hoped for the best….

I actually drove the car out of my drive yesterday…. These cars are incredible, never fail to astound me! After a good clean shes starting to take shape

Even when i had it before the interior was always something i wanted  to change, with it being left to die its looking even worse! Its paprika red with a white roof… Im unsure whether to re-cover what i have or just bring in  new stuff?

I need carpet too, but was thinking that i would buy that new… Has anyone bought the ones for 89 squid on ebay? Any good?

is funkstar still going, i got a load of stuff from him before, wondered whether he might be a good place to start?

any help guys would be really appreciated…

Its also fantastic to be back!!!!:lol::lol::lol:

Thanks boys,

I plan on taking lots of photos of the rebuild this time!

in terms of an interior i know its not original to the car, but i do really like the sportline interior.

this car isnt ever going to be an "original" example, so just want to go with something that looks nice!

Also some leather/leatherette would be smart… But as with anything unless i go with something similar to what i have now then I'm going to need door cards etc too

carpet is def needed but cant choose this until ive worked out what im doing with the seats!

you still on the same number mark ending in 083?!
