Hi folks
I bought this yesterday and havn't had a chance to even clean it yet but here are a few pics anyway :D
I need to change and replace a few things that arn't to my liking (especialy the 'council' number plate) but it'll get there in the end 8)

Cheers fella's

Yes there are loads of jobs to do and i havn't really delved into it yet.
The headlining is fecked and so will be getting replaced.
One of the rear doors has a fubared door pin. FIXED :D
The OBC back lights need replacing.
The check control panel doesn't work. FIXED :D
The eyebrows need to go :roll: GONE
The Alpina badge on the front lip doesn't look right so may have to go.GONE
The tailgate is rusting on the inside so will get replaced when i find a mint one.
The new suspension is far too hard for the road so will also be getting replaced.
etc etc etc........... :D

I followed that car - or a diamond black Alpina Touring with a very similar plate - through Cleethorpes back in March. Kept flashing and waving at the driver, but he wouldn't pull over for a chat. :(

Spadges deviancy stretches to autos now, he likes to smoke around in them, wearing his John Motson sheepskin coat.
