I've got two! Trying to sell one of them at the mo!

Message me mate. I've just bought one to use as a donor, paint's quite shabby but the underside and engine bay look real tidy.

I don't understand, are you trying to sell it? I definitely don't need a third  :whistle:

Or cut the car in half, fix it together with removeable locking pins after adding castors by the bottom of the join, and BAM, two ABF-powered reliant robins when you need them  :smug:

I have a 16v 94 was going to break it but decided to get all the work done on it . Got rid of the old cone filter and replaced with a smoothed air box (thanks screech). Just fitted a new sunroof , new central locking pump and door paddles, along with oil pump , filter, oil pressure switches , temp switches, spark plugs , air filter. Most ppl would have broke it with all the work that needs doing but thought i may aswell sort it coz its onky got 89k on the clock and is alpine white with no rust at all.

I'm planning on keeping my 16v long term. They are good solid cars and the ABF engine is an absolute hoot. The "Mighty Third" gear in mine always puts a smile on my face!!

I have started building up a stash of spares! :wink:

what are the best things to start stashing up on?

If you got room a good body is worth keeping! But that's a bit impractical.
Spare engine and gearbox is a good start.
Most other stuff is still available at reasonable prices
