Matt pumped a lot of money into it so being honest don't think I'm gonna want to do too much it it!!
Only plans are to get the Alpina Alloys refurbished there's a mark on drivers side rear quarter panel that needs tidied up & front lower valance redone

I would lose/sell the alpinas,.. and the black kidney grill... are the wheels genuine? Get some 15' bbs'.. and spend the surplus on a Christmas treat for the car, a good service!

A good buy that, Matt spent many a weekend not to mentioned the smuggled ECP parts (lol) to build this one up, there is a thread on here where all the welding etc takes place. Look after it and locked away from the Scottish climate.

Yes, Matt's build thread is well worth a read. He did a great job of restoring this sport.
It's actually been for sale for a few months and a good buy IMO.
Looking forward to seeing more of the car on here

I knew she wouldn't let you down Stevie!
Hats off to you for an epic 900 mile round trip too.
Still can't believe I sold it but the house move will be a little easier now.
You'll be glad to know the bank accepted your dodgy scottish notes too

Looks like the nearside headlamp wiper motor may need some attention too...

Hi Dan,
The engine mounts were the Burton MK2 escort ones you recommended?

Yep, I seem to remember you saying they had softened up? Might have been somebody else though
