That looks alright! :cool:
Is it in good working order, any plans for it?

Yes mate its all good to say its been sat for so long only real bad point is the door hinge has snapped so ya have to be careful and it did have a oil leak but this just turned out to be the oil filter so changed that and the rocker cover gasket coz that had seen better days, got wheels balanced and it needs a wheel bearing other than that just a bit of tidying needed really.
No real big plans at the moment just getting her tidy and clean i might change the wheels to some 15s or 16s im not %100 on the 17s I got offered some 14s but they not go over the big breaks on the front (VR6 calipers and 16v disks ive been told????) :smiley:

That's what's on mine, I believe you can fit most 14" wheels over the callipers but it will be tight.
16" max for a MK2 IMO, most 17s on a car like this just look sh*te!

Yes mate im with you on that one, Mk2 = 15s or 16s, not sure what to go for, quight fancy some Ats Cups or Ronal turbos some banded steels would be nice, not sure at the moment.
