All in very well spec'd car
since ive owned it i have -
- Put a new gear linkage in

- New HT leads
- New NGK iridium spark plugs
- 2 new tyres
- New boot lock with key
- taken off rocker covers, cleaned out and replaced with new rocker gaskets
- new rubber exhaust mount
- new number plate light
bad points -
It has a oil leak not sure where its from just a little drip now and then nothing majour at all.
O/s rear arch is scabby in 2 places ideally wants repair arch and repair to inner arch, few other bubbles.
Front brake discs are warped and vibrate under hard braking, ive drove it for 8 months with no issues
Rear manifold isnt pretty and has had a bodged repair downpipe (tidy'ed up most of this so it has a tighter seel but still blows abit from cold).
As the numpty who built it put the fuel pump in the engine bay when warm is suffers with vapour lock as the fuel in the lines heats up and dissolves, so you have to turn the key 1x or similar to get the fuel back up and it starts 1st time.
Underneath has been welded a few times and in places isnt pretty but its solid as a rock. The paintwork is quite good i heard it was diy but has a nice shine to it!
Has the odd stone chip around the front area but what car doesnt
Its not a show car just a very quick road car and is alot of fun, will put a smile on anyones face especialy the doubters lol. Also faily good on feul for a v6. Im after £1100 no offers. Located in fareham po14 (close to portsmouth)
