Noice  I like, but then again I would wouldn't I?? ;D ;D What's the plans?? Or just taking your time with it as & when stuff happens?? * Off topic I know, but size of that extension across the road  |

Plans? Well there's a few bodywork bits and pieces to attend to (just scraping crusty bits and a small hole in the floor that wants attending to over the summer) that will keep me busy for a while.... Then there's getting shot of those naff XR3 seats. Very comfy but a bit out of place. I also want to get some nice chrome wing mirrors, to go in their rightful place instead of those godawful door-mount ones off a Festier or something. Matt black bonnet? Black checks on the roof? Anyone else feeling that? Then there's the grubby bits to deal with....while it's quite pleasant to pootle along listening to the old 1300 lump singing away, it's no ball of fire! A cheap and easy (he says!) option would be a 2.0 pinto and type 9. But some perverse part of me wants to wang a Vauxhall XE in there. Just to annoy the RS folk like. ;D (I *might* uprate the stoppers too - at the moment you have to write a letter 6 weeks in advance saying you might like to stop sometime soon - and this one's got discs. Just thing what the drum-braked ones were like! ) |

I hereby nominate NickB for bargain retro purchase of the year. Top-flippin'-notch! Plus, bonus point for the speedy application of the Retro-Rides sticker. As for engine swaps... J-power would be cool. Kind of redresses the balance for all those Ford-powered Starlets out there! ;D Zetec would be nice but you'd have some FWD / RWD issues to address. XE?! In a Frod?! Are you MAD?! ;D..... actually yes, you probably are.... anyone that buys half of the retro cars on eBay over the past few months must have a screw or two loose! ;D  Oh, and that extension - I'd guess that is actually NickB's house. The extension is for storing his fleet. ;D ;D |

Looking good Nick! It looks like you've found the ideal work vehicle for us!  Plus, with that old skool tape deck you can play 'Favourites 3' til your hearts content!!! ;D |

Retro Survey Wagon! ;D
And you so know that "favourites 3" is in that tape playa already!!!

As for engine swaps... J-power would be cool. Kind of redresses the balance for all those Ford-powered Starlets out there! ;D Zetec would be nice but you'd have some FWD / RWD issues to address. Zetec E engines bolt pretty much straight up to a type 9 (Sierra) gearbox apparently. Looks like a quality purchase Nick though deffo get rid of those seats & replace the mirrors for some suitable chrome jobbies Love the colour BTW |

Not really. Just the usual tits who bid up to 5p below the reserve, wait for the auction to close then offer you £28.34  |
