Cheers Ross, shes very not bad dude.

Small review:

Bought for £650, driven 90 miles home, no issues

Interior is sport leather with RHR, all in good order although has been siliconed to death in the past, sorted that yesterday, far less shiny now- nice.

As bought no electrics were working, now has 4 working windows and sunroof, mirrors, lights and heater controls.

Body wise, the front wings are mullered, but they'll wait a month or two, the rest is superb save for a small dent in the OSR quarter behind the fuel flap, tailgate is good with zero rust.

Underneath is solid and rot free, diff is nice and dry, brakes are in good shape and only one tyre is required

Mechanicaly, very good overall, had head rebuild in 03, along with timing belt etc etc, 206K miles, no cam wear evident, pulls very very well and zero smoke on startup, cane or over- run.

In short, nice car overall, needs a few trims replaced as they are missing completely.

Weird thing is, this car came from Sutton Valance nr Maidstone, then down to Mark and now its back on its old stomping ground again. Guess it was meant to be?

Looks like my other one dude before I started pulling it apart.

You wanted an auto didn't you? I have the box and all the necessaries here if you want to swap it to auto.
