Hey all, I'm going to explain all about my time with my cabby as I'm really reluctant to have to do this however demands from work and from my bank manager have meant I can not carry on with this dream and need to downgrade

Basically I bought this car about a year ago from my brothers landlord due to him wanting the parking space for his AMG mercs "lucky for some" this was the first car I bought on my own and I planned Soo much for it… However what I was not told was the car was barely a runner when I bought it so over the last year I have poured every penny I have Into it and now it is a beautiful drive

i spent 6months working away in the snow, sun or rain as My challenge was to get the car to the bhp performance show at lydenn hill and I'm pleased to say I ran it there and back and it was beautiful!

whilst iv owned her she's had:
New clutch
Changed some of the gear linkage
New discs and pads
New rear bilstein suspension The Front suspension is some some aftermarket race suspension which was on it when I got it.
New interior carpet
The interior is a grey leather which i was told was custom leather "can explain more of your interested"
Had the carb Ultrasonically cleaned and re built with new diaphragms as well as a new carb flange was mounted
New battery
New braided cables in the engine bay
Had a new fuel line for filler cap to tank just before I bought it.
Iv fitted a killswitch inside the engine bay on a custom made mount "I can take this out if you do not want it"
2 new cv joints
New steering rack gator
New choke cable
New cam belt kit was fitted in feb
The car currently sits on staggered 15" lenso bsx with 205-50-15 on the rear and 195-50-15 on the front I believe all tyres are in good condition however I will double check and replace any that are not that good.
Has had a full service
New alpine E type speakers in all doors and a Sony head unit
And most importantly the reason it failed the first MOT I have had to replace wit windscreen washer pump!!! Come on guys if you weren't interested you must be now

Good Point:
This car is amazing to drive it sits so nicely on the road with the larger spaced out tyres.
It really does turn heads when your cursing around with the roof down

Everything iv done to the car has been done professionally
As you can see from the above a lot of work has been done to the car as it has been my pride and joy
When I had the car up on the ramps I checked the underside for any pesky rust and could not find any anywhere this car could float I'm sure

Just had the timing re set and the carb needles set so it is now running like a dream!
Bad points:
As I said at the top the paint is starting to fade and there are a few cracks on the rear bumper "not my doing" however iv had a friend of mine who owns a paint shop have a look and he has told me that it would not take much to clean them all up. on the front wing there is some laqer fade so I have bought some to clean this up however I'm no paint expert so if you'd rather do it yourself you can have the can for free

aren't I genorous aha "not halfords own brand I had it made up by a proffesional company
The roof is in complete working order however there was apparently two small rips in the roof which the previous owner decided the use a vinyl glue to fix up.

I'm going to put some pictured up on a separate comment as iv spent ages writing this and don't want to delete it all due to me been a computer idiot
