Old Fart

[Roverdose]

This is a little project i've had for the past 6 months, not really spent much time on it but summers coming so i'm starting to crack on with it. Hopefully this will give me some motivation to sort it out! I bought the car for the princley sum of £150 it's a 1.3 and a CL which stands for Crusty Lethargio. It's pretty rot free except or a bit of crust around the arches but only on the inner lips. Anyhoo, when i got her.....





And a damn good machine polish and my prized bonnet later...



Now. It had coilovers and these less than apealing wheels. The following pics are with the coilovers wound down halfway as they were and are in the pics of when i got it. Im toying with the idea of 12" superlights. Here are the results.





i rekon i could go down another 40mm maybe more.

but as she stands now mid sticker bomb...













my plans are to get it running now as im experiencing some serious electrical issues

Comments welcome, i know it's a bit childish but i maintain that i am actually still a teenager lol

I honestly don't know. Depending on the light it can look either brown or red, i think it must have only benn available on the very early cheapo models.

I've seen more Oak green and Atlas greys ones in the flesh than a Terra I've seen one at a show and the colour if paint is right is lovely due to the darkness and red hue to the colour!

Yeah "stock is the new mod"
