might be gettin another

[SRlew]

well as most no i sold my sr a few months back, havent regreted it yet, just feel like i miss it now and then when i want to go for a thrash round some back roads lol.

but my brothers girl friend works with a girl who has a burgandy 1.4 k reg in MINT condition (iv been told) interior spotless and the exterior shine'ier than any cars me or my brother have ever had, so it must be good as my sr was mint!

she's selling next month so im going to have a good look around it soon and see if it is as good as it sounds which i think it will be. so i'll snap it up if it is and for a bargain price which im not going to let out incase i sell on lol

but im unsure of what to do with it, i want it for a winter car while i get my mk1 xr2 sprayed up etc and while i build an engine for it, so it will be left standard. but then when the festa is good do i keep the nova and build a sleeper or what?!

also how is everyone? not had the net for ages now so aint been on

cheers lew

[Jack]

Buy it, then sell it on to some mug for triple what you paid for it, then put the proceeds towards a proper car lol

[Matt2107]

You'll never leave it standard

draper!! sorry dude cant get on msn till i buy a computer lol, well. i was doing a few days fitting bedrooms and kitchens with me mates dad, now iv got 3 weeks solid work fittin bedrooms in a hotel with his son (my mate) so thats cool. but will need to get back looking when this is up. you got one?

yeh i no it'l never stay standard lol. got some springs here still and a full system still, so that will get me started lol. but yeh xe is the best option i think. bit of a sleeper. aparently its got a chrome petrol cap and little bits like that so if i xe it looking like that it'll look like some shed with a d**k head behind the wheel of his first car or something so will surprise people haha

the owner of my old car on here alot yet?

The mark 2 has been in the family since it was 6 months old, it's never seen a welder or paint!! Doubt there is too many about like that now!! Red mark 1 is 90% original too!!

[SRlew]

my brother had one for his first car. was low and had corsa 3 spokes on. looked alright if i remember lol. just fixed up a rear mk1 (early type) bumper thats got a splitter iv never seen before on it. so am feeling the slight modding already haha
