Picked her up today, M10 Auto slush box
, eleccy mirrors and that's it!
Drove very nice, relaxed and wallowing in the wind
Lightweight, and no, not because of rust, had a good look over and only spotted 2 small problems.
Get back from work tomorrow and start stripping the interior out.
Oh, and thanks Floppy
for the graffiti

Hi Dave, yea, got told while the bonnet was up, and nathan confirmed it was FLOPPY, but he does need a course in handwriting and design though.
Looks to be OK on the outside, bits need doing, but i'll get started tomorrow.
I can't believe how it was on the motorway though, for a 4 pot sluchbox, it quite surprised me.

Nathan, tbh, i had my reservations

John, waiting to hear on an S50 mate

Rav's got no chance of joining CR24v.
He has no taste and is tight. S50 is a dream........
He'll ruin a solid chromie with an anchor mark my words

Does she have a sunroof? I hope not...
If she doesn't, you can be just like the Cr24v crew!

Will do in the coming week mate.
Rear Inner arches are clean too
, with surface rust where the jack sits, other side is solid.
Only the rear bottom arch is crusty, but we'll have that fixed soon.
