My Black Sportline - Update on my sold car :-)

Shughy said

Best of luck Friday with the collection of the new Sportline. Hope all goes to plan.  

Thanks Hugh

I'm sure it will be fine, I must admit to being a bit nervous on seeing the car, just because it looks so clean in the pics that I got from Lewis, I am hoping its as good in the metal :-)

Chris

I'm sure it will be Chris.
Safe journey down and enjoy the drive back!

Thanks Dave, same to you mate

Some more goodies arrived.

Thanks to Shughy fit the new gear knob and top rad card, great quality rad card Hugh :-)

The front number plate holder arrived from Germany as well but its dark blue not black - my bad :-(
So asked Hibbs for his black one and I will keep the blue one as a spare and spray it up if reqd.

Ooo new stuff!  

Chris what way you heading up North tomorrow? If you're going up the A1 I'm at Stamford, just off the A1 (PE9)

Let me know, I'm off work and about tomorrow if you need a pit stop

Andy

I'm heading up the West coast on the M6 as I'm going to stay at my mates this weekend for his 40th bday party.

Thanks for the offer I really appreciate it :-)

Chris

No worries Chris, any time

Safe trip and enjoy the ride

Good luck for tomorrow Chris.

You must be excited, I think a few of us are too lol

Sitting in Edinburgh airport waiting for the adventure :-)

I'm excited and can't wait to see it

Well I am in Manchester with my new purchase

All went well travel wise apart from the London and M6 traffic !!!!

The car does need a bit of paint, boot, both bumpers and drivers half door and drivers half rear quarter.

The roof is spot on and the interior is fine.

The manifold which needs replaced makes low speed driving interesting, so that will be first, then body shop for a estimate and find out how much actually needs painted.

The price was mutually beneficial and overall I'm delighted.

Big thanks to Watson and Smudger who came and met me in London.

Chris

Nice one Chris glad you're pleased with it - and I'm guessing you stayed dry in it too

Dry and now I'm getting wet from the inside courtesy of Budweiser.

Andy i am chuffed as its far more of a project than my red one was, as that was and is a great condition but I will try and get black or to the best standard I can :-)

Nice one look forward to updates - and some pics of your road trip when you get back

Congratulations Chris! Sounds like you made a good purchase, I look forward to seeing it soon. Andy

Nice one Chris, you made it to Manc land ok!!

What was the traffic like? Good to meet you guys yesterday. Good luck getting it home over the wall

A few pics of the car and the eyebrow spoiler removed already.

Not the best, got there at 2100 :-(

Doesn't look too bad at all Chris. A bit of OCD heaven there getting the bay mint like your red one
