Not sure yet………bought it on ebay so not "seen it"……… :oops:


The guys spent ?500 having the arches and sill welded up just needs boot floor patching up and passenger door sorting where its rotten on bottom corner.

Sunroof channels are good which im relieved about.

Its a non runner due to crap in the tank so gotta sort that 1st….

Some pics of it in my recent posts if you wanna see any pics

Doesn't look in to bad condition although you can't really tell until you start work on it in earnest.

helious…. keep looking , they are out there somewhere…..
mkeeley…it looks to be ok in most of the usual bad areas ,but it has had some mot style welding in the rear arch which i would prefer to get sorted correctly.has been a good car at time…
roadboss…. it has RH in the centre, think they will look good polished up, bit of a dish on them..

made a start……..  

 astraman came round and sorted some welding out in the rear arch for me, he also fixed my drivers door hinge,  door now opens and shuts perfectly thankyou paul.
     i removed the front drivers wing to get access to the hinge , pleased to find that all is solid and wax oil has done it's job.


    removed front bumper, front panel has a few rust scabs but these are only surface, front panel nice and solid..   

    with the wing removed it became obvious why the car sat at a slope, the front spring has snapped but had already planned for a set of suspension .
 so far looking good, no nasty suprises as yet . will get a few pics up as soon as web problem is sorted out…

yep wheels are 15's and there are a full set of 5.   maybe tempted to sell for a good offer ……
 ross it started first time but there is no exhaust or manifold on it so didn't run it for long , don't want to upset the nieghbours.  just a bit short of time n cash at moment but getting there slowly, could do with a fuel pump picking up and i want to replace the fuel lines as they are doing a good inpression of a cadbury's flake . but yep hedge is getting ready for trimming so pop round for a cuppa anytime after 4pm..

got a load of copper pipe knocking around - think its the right diameter for fuel pipe, not sure how much there is but your welcome to it if you want it, and can give Nobes a tinkle to get hold of one of their pumps for you if you want.
