Pictures of my new 8 valve mark 2
« on: 19 April 2006, 17:21 »
Bought an 8valve yesterday for a reasonable price as I needed a car until the long awaited return of my valver.

here are some pics:















It has tax until end of may and MOT until september. Needs a couple of things doing to it, the gear linkage is knackered but they guy I bought it off has ordered the part and will fit it for me. And it needs a new boot lock, as the old one seized.

148k on the clock. Could do with a good wash, t-cut and polish and some back to black on the bumpers. Should ge doing that this sunday along with a mini service!
