    Smile yellow banana back on road new owner

    hi all, long time no see..

    as you may or may not be aware. my cherished 855 t5-r had a small/large problem. it dumped all its water after a heatre matrix hose split thus fried itself.

    anyways that was 4 - 5 months ago.. i am pleased to announce that a future classic was not put to a scrap yard for salvage but sold to a great guy who wanted to give her a new lease of life.. THANKS DAVE..

    well shes back on the road after he spent a small fortune and she now has a matching yellow bonnet,, not a bruised banana anymore...


    anyways,,, as im sure i have mentioned in the past i have a big soft spot for 240s.. i am pottentially 5 days away from buying one and heres where im hopeing someone will help me out......................
    i Need it to be turbo, not want, but need... if i manage to obtain said car does anyone live near Southend and would anyone be prepared to get there hands dirty helping me achieve my dream....

    I had thought about T5 ing her but i am pretty retarded when it comes to swapping engines, looms, diffs etc as i have no previous experiance..


    anyways nice to have a ramble and like i said keep your eyes open for the now un bruised banana cos shes ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    Thanks again dave for putting my baby, now yours back on road
