I bought this a few months back for £100 and havent really touched it since lol after pondering weather to scrap it or sell it on iv decided to splash some cash on her.

As i bought it.

I have done all the welding to the o/s of the rear panel and the o/s boot corner and the n/s/f chassis rail. For the mot she needs 2 wipers rear wheel bearings adjusting up and a cv boot and maybe a windscreen.

The plans are 2 new rear quarters, 2 new doors and maybe some front wings. Stripped out and painted up inside. Pespex windows, 2 buckets etc etc but the only thing is i dont realy want to xe it. I would like a change for once but what else is really any good? 16 16v?? IM hoping to have it painted wither canary yellow or Lazer blue hmmmmm.

Ive just won some 40mm lowering springs on ebay for £15 not the best but they will do for now lol

Shes in my garage for now until i get some time to mince!!

Opinions welcome!!:thumb:
