advice needed, just seen a cab!

[golfpro]

just driven home and had my eye caught by a mk1 cab thats been re-sprayed in a bright metalic blue, recently. its a 1.6, got the klipper kit fitted, 16" fox alloys, had a 40 mil drop, stainless zorst, single light grill, all been smoothed, lots of chromey bits. Whoever did the spray didnt do the engine bay which looks a little scruffy but all seems in order as far as i can tell.

Its a real eyecatcher and heres the bit i like, only got 67k on the clock! its an '87. Its lush

the roof is white but needs changing b4 too long, has a couple of small holes. The drivers seat has a little stain and a small tear but thats about all thats up. She asked for 2500 then said she wanted it gone b4 christmas if possible. and when i said 1750 to see what she said she sounded keen.

I want your advice wether i should do it or not!?! how much would i look for a new roof? would need to be a white one really. What about a re-trim or a new drivers seat?

Help me ppl, i recon a christmas could be purchaced here is it a good price?

just make sure that the mileage is correct as thats rather low for a car thats 18 years old

im in guernsey tho carl so it may be low for england but it aint for here. Its a lighter blue than yours dinx, kinda a candy colour. Its really fit.

its similar to urs at the front di, bumper has been smoothed and plate put below, just indicators left on it. all the lights are clear, it really has had some stirling thrown at it! Il keep u all informed about how i get on. Insurance is the only falling point. I dont know if i can afford to insure two cars so the mk3 will have to go. oh well!

[Dinky]

i wanna go back to twins.. and still not sure on front headlights n rears....
