Hi everyone,
I was directed here from the Facebook group.
I recently spotted this in a garden not too far from me, so me and my boyfriend convinced the owner to sell it to us, he had let it get in a bit of a state…
We finally bought it, gave it a clean and look at the difference
Hopefully be on the road soon!

Not on the road yet, just a few niggly bits, I was waiting on the sale of my Lupo to fund it!
New clocks have been ordered, needs a few parts like handbrake cable, CV boot, brake pads etc.
Hopefully only a few weeks until I can enjoy it!
Just thought I would add…it is a 1.8 petrol, K reg/1992

Hey Welcome to the forum, it was me who directed you I believe!
Great transformation so quick!
If you have bits to buy, have a look at becoming a member, it pretty much pays for itself, £20 a year and then you get 15% on euro carparts,. up to 15% on good insurance companies!
And like Eddie said above, you can be on the club stands, we have stands at a lot of the UK larger events.
I'm just full of good advice recently

The interior is in good condition, he left the front doors slightly open and it smells a bit fusty but I am getting it steam cleaned
None of the doors or roof leak either
