    Smile Moles Olive AWD

    Well she's arrived, this car I just bought on hearsay and didn't even bother going to have a look at it before handing the cash over (didn't even haggle) and I was well surprised when it arrived as it was better than I thought it would be for 217,000 miler, just got to sort the rear diff issue and mot her (most of the mot work has been done by the bloke's garage, before he decided to get shot of her) Oh and as you'll see she has a bgr autogas conversion on her........lucky me cheap 850 motoring he we come...










    Can't believe my luck a good clay and polish and some internal cleaning and she'll be almost mint and as a bonus the tailgate panel is still fitted correctly and not hanging off like most do

    apparently it was serviced 3 months ago with all sorts of new parts, just waiting on the paperwork to see whats been done to her lately as the previous owner was a bit o.t.t. with things for this car, but you would believe that if you saw the rear disc's

    P.S are you going to york mate?

    Yep get it back on the road and enjoy some cheap motoring and may be a bit of tuning, as Carl (Smithy) will no doubt be egging me on, as he's done some good stuff with the 2.5t ltp lump

    Was just thinking I could have delivered the mirrors or pass them on to someone near to you, yes I'm very bad as I haven't posted them yet

    Yes it's not bad, but needs a good going over, some nasty spots on the carpets in the front wells, but on the whole I think she'll sparkle with very little effort, can't believe my luck

    Good buy that one
    What does lpg work out to a mile? I see it's practically doubled in price since they introduced it.

    spooky, had the same idea, I was asking Carl last night, whether he or James, was most likely to see you first. I have a box packed with your bits which I will take with me.

    only found two dings in her so far, will pop some pic's up after the bank holiday weekend, when I may have found a bit of time to give some paint correction and a good ole polish, she should scrub up lovely, but busy on the T-5R at the moment, getting ready for york
