[Benn]

Well not to be rude, its 4different colours, bits have been randomly primered, both arches are rotten, its got 1/4 of a side skirt, no dash, no front legs on it.

Did you pay much for it?

tbh I wouldnt pay anything for it....

I spose the wheels are a tenner each scrap?

[Gibbo]

looks nice mate

[nova-taken]

i know she looks rough, but shes solid structurally, plus i have repair panels for both arches, and everything that has come off her is inside the car.

plus its an antibes, cant be all that many left... and it was dirt cheap!:D

good eyes my friend, the good ole X18XE.

although i dont quite know whether im going to use it or not yet lol

[mikeGTEnova]

quite an ironic reg plate as thats one thing this project isnt going to be!

[mikeGTEnova]

good luck tho mate.

[nova-taken]

quite an ironic reg plate as thats one thing this project isnt going to be!

Although it looks terrible, its really solid, the only rot ive found is in the battery tray and theres a little hole in the bulkhead somewhere that my uncle spotted.

hopefully be a good little car at the end of it.

[nova_saloon]

thats some mad camber you got going on! lol

Keep us updated. what are the plans

[nova-taken]

TBH im not too sure about the plans at this point in time,

But the bodywork is going to be properly cleaned up and made rustfree, then ofcourse all the same colour lol

was thinking about a 1300SR engine, maybe on T40's, or an E16SE.
and then drop it around 60 -70mm on the 17's depending on how they look with the planned colour and such

as i said not too sure, not too bothered about the engine really aslong as its all the same colour with no dents or rot ill be a happy chappy.

[markc20xe]

good luck think it will look good when finished no fun it gettin a car thats done

[Ernie]

I did this to one of these "Rare" whatever Antibis.

I think most bits are on cars around the site.
Its only a 1.2 with nice carpet the rest you cant shift for free half the time
good luck tho and as you can see ive scrapped better than that.

[nova-taken]

Ernie, theres not many people on here who havent scrapped better than mine, but thats the fun in it, the more people who say its a shed now means the more people who are gobsmacked when its finished and looking the mutts lol

but how could you do that to an antibes??

*goes to the corner to cry*

[markc20xe]

i think if you put the work in you can turn it around and make it look good mate

[Ernie]

but how could you do that to an antibes??

*goes to the corner to cry*

It went with the pile of GTE/GSI that have gone the same way

I cut up my first one due it being rotten, even though i knew it wernt worth saving it still broke my heart! :(
