Hi to one and all!!

Hi everyone!

My name is Chris I'm up in the NE of Scotland and I just bought myself a '93 Black Sportline Cabriolet. Got her down in Essex after looking for a black one for god knows how long - it was a helluva drive back (bout 600miles in all)!! She need a wee bit TLC but it wont be long before she's nice and shiney and new looking.

Hopefully get some advice and guidance on locatin bits and bobs from the seasoned pro's on here!

hello , always good to hear from a new member. certainly good way to find out about the car, driving it 600 miles.

Youre not wrong - it didnt miss a beat all the way up.

Welcome Westland

A fair ole drive that!  Driven up to Thurso a few times from essex takes ages!  U anywhere near?

Post some piccies up and lets have a look at your new toy :wink:

Nice to know there's another one north of Hadrian's !

welcome buddy!

I love hearing about when people go huge distances for a car!  8)   

Welcome newbie and I'm glad the drive was worth it. I always think a long trek to pick up a car is a greater, more memorable bonding experience than just picking one up locally

Cheers folks!

It was a crackin drive - only stopped to fill her up for 20 minutes in the 9 hour period. That kinda say it all. In fact when I got home (I'm about halfway between Dundee and Aberdeen in a wee town called Montrose) I just wanted to keep on going!! I only have the pics that the guy who sold her to me sent, the best of these shoudl be below……

Just spent 6 hours cleanin up my Sportline  8O

It really needed it tho - inside and out. The paint on bonnet had gone really flat (need a new one as its got a big dent in it too) but after usin Autoglym Paint Renovator on it, its come up really well. Took a pic with my phone so its not the greatest, but trust me she's nice and shiny  

Lookin' good !

Nothing like a gleaming car when the sun shines !

Welcome and looking nice all polished!

If it stood up to the drive home it must be pretty sorted :wink:

Cheers
