Hi all,

I picked this up 2 weeks ago & love it already. Need to do a few things to it but overall it's in good condition.

147,000 miles but has been stood in a garage since October 2007 & was only recommissioned in June this year.

It runs really well & did the 260 miles home when I collected it without any trouble.

It has a few patches of surface rust but I don't think there's anything serious but will reserve judgement on that till I can get it up in the air for a good poke around.

There's a couple of things to do this year before the bad weather gets here but nothing major:

New aerial as this one is stuck up & bent.
New passenger rear window motor as this doesn't work.
Service.
Change Fuel filter to see if this quietens down the noisy pump & if not then a new pump.

Then it's saving up for the mods.
I'm aiming for a fast road/touring car with a 2.8 M20 with LPG. Bilstein B8/H&R suspension inc ARB's.
Bigger brakes.
I want to keep it looking more or less standard so it will be a bit of a sleeper.

Here are a few pics of the car, I'll take more when I get around to starting on the to do list.



















Cheers

Looks like a nice 4 door

Nice motor mate

Thanks guys. It's in better condition than I hoped so all is good so far.

Nice looking car, I like the colour.

Thanks buddy, I'm hoping to get it re sprayed in the original colour in the next few years to get rid of all the stone chips & cat scratches.

Long time with no update.....
The car has been away for the last 3 weeks having a M20b25 installed but it'll be ready to collect on Thursday & I can't wait. The guy doing the install said the car looks very clean so I'm hoping that 7yrs stood in a barn has been good to the old girl & she won't require any major body work anytime soon.
Next on the list is sorting the handling out as I think it's still wearing its original suspension but I've a holiday to pay for 1st then I'll have to book a week off to fit everything.
Then I'll start collecting the parts for the M20b28 build I've got in my head.

looks awesome =)
