My new toy...
« on: 06 November 2006, 21:13 »


Picked this baby up on Saturday for £250, MOT till April, TSR 285mm disc conversion and a half decent respray.

It does have a conrod 'slightly' poking out the block though..


And I only went to the damm scrapyard for some rear doors for my van  :grin:
