Yeh I could live with that.

Looks a good example too!


Just goes to show you can indeed polish a turd Rob :rolleyes::lol:.

I spent all day cutting back the paint then polishing it and it looks OK, Just call in a 10 pace motor ;), It really needs repainting mate it's not terrible but I want it perfect so I'm going to get saving because it's going to cost about 4k to get it done properly inside and out.

I'm getting two rust free doors to replace both of my one that are quite rusty at the bottoms, I've ordered new stiffer springs and shock and an exhaust in on the cards to see how funds go, It will be a rolling project :driving:.

I had a much earlier 2 door version. Great car but with horrendous turbo lag. A mini could beat me off the traffic lights! I assume that problem was sorted on the later cars.

Yes Nigel they sorted the problem with this one but I'm sure it would benefit from a new roller bearing turbo being fitted, Something like the GT28RS would be nice I'm sure :cool:.
