Mark from Cumbria? New owner of J187 MNL?

[Jules]

Anyone know someone called Mark from Cumbria who has recently bought my old GSi (J187 MNL) from Ipswich?
Apparently he uses NL and I'd like to track the progress of the restoration job he's aparently planning.

Anyone?
:confused:

i paid 400quid fo it off ebay. all it needed for mot was welding behind strut top and a track rod end.

going to have both sides painted and the grill just tidy it up abit.

its a quick gsi though.quickest ive had i'd say.

?400! Nice! The alarm is worth nearly that (Assuming the Toad is stil on it?)

Glad to see some grey 16"s have found their way back onto it aswell! I took my grey 16" Softstars off when I sold it (to put them on my Corsa GSi)
Still looks pretty good, and the engine was rebuilt by myself not too long ago so glad to hear that it's still going strong, it was always ever run on Shell Optimax for about 3-4 years and I put the higher RON plug in to make the most of the fuel, that and a drilled airbox with Jetex filter are the only engine mods.

What are the plans for it other than a bit of a tidy up?
