On to pastures new, so thought I'd better start a new thread for it.
As mentioned in my Mk3 thread which is now gone but not forgotten, I'll be picking this up on Monday once tax is sorted.
Car in question is as the title suggests, an 1990 Raddo KR 16v in Dark Burgundy Pearl, with 157k and fsh until 128k and owner serviced there after. Its in need of a little cosmetic tlc, although not essential. A couple of small areas of lacquer peel, and a couple of small scuffs and paint fading. Mechanically pretty good, although oil pressure sensor needs replacing. Bay could do with a bit of a tidy up too.
Has a H R short shifter (I think thats what its called
), uprated clutch, Vibratech front engine mount, drilled grooved disks and green stuff pads all round 9 months ago, Borbet C's with excellent tread all round, 4 branch heat wrapped manni, uprated light loom, black dash, door cards, pillars, headlining and sunvisors, lowering springs (dont know which ones or how low it is compared to stock, but not overly low so reckon about 40mm which is perfect), a few spares with it like a replacement wing as one of em has cracked paint where a dent was knocked out, 50mm inlet manni, oil pressure sensors that are not yet fitted, gasket set, drive shafts, and a few other things thrown in for good measure. Engine feels nice and strong, with no knocks or smoke. Has an RR printout from 2009 with 134 bhp so not many ponies have bolted in its 22 year life either which is nice. Also had a reconditioned gearbox in 07 as well. Gonna give it a good service as soon as I get it home, and a good wash and wax to really see what the paintwork scrubs up like. Other than that, the only immediate plans are to bung a bonnet bra on (marmite I know, but I think they look quite good on these), some laminex on the lights to tone down the orange a bit, and a steam clean of the bay as well. Belts will need replacing in the Summer, but I'm happy enough to do that now so no major problems there. Here are a couple of pre collection pics from the ad, will post up some more when I've given it a bit of a clean after getting it.
Edit: Oh yeah, and remove the tint on the rear windows!
Comments, advice, and suggestions welcome.
