Well, picked her up today and BY CHRIST!!!! What a CRACKING motor for £300!!!
Everything is tight, no rattles or rolls!!!

List of things to do first

1. Re hang exhaust (Rubbers perished to hell)
2. Replace rear boot lock (Oops...boot can only be opened from INSIDE the car)

Still don't like the rims although it has made me VERY tempted by a set of Platin P3's for mine  :tongue: Kinda love that Deep dish look

There is no rust on her, only the ding on the front wing, she has 141000 on the clock and is so smooth!!!!

I'd strip the old one and get a second hand one from the scrappy, then swap the locks over.  Saves you having an extra key!

fit remote central locking and delock both front doors, I only need the key for the tailgate & ignition.  Soon as I wire up a proper boot CL mech I wont even need a tailgate key (except in a flat battery emergency) :cool:
