    Ready to be seen!!!!

    After 6 weeks of looking i drove to Luton from Sussex to pick this up.The paintwork was flat and im sure the old guy i bought it of had let his dog live in it for ever.Anyway after spending as much time as the wife would allow and endless hoover bags ive managed to get it looking like this.Lucky for me i could see through the dirt, otherwise my £550.00 investment could have meant i would be sleeping in it.What do you think?The mods have started MBC and induction kit. Havent seen many of this colour either....Turbo Red so the paint dealer tells me. Regency Red on the paint code.....

    Mmmm very clean, lovely looking car. You may want to sort those headlight wipers out though so they're not sticking up,if the motors have had it then just take the arms off and put them back on in the right place.

    Thats a bargain car, as long as it's got an MOT, thats an almost depreciation proof car.
