Ok I need to sell this. Its got so much potential still but I really don't have the money/time/or space for it in the for-seeable future. Maybe someone wants to carry on what I started or maybe someone fancys doing somthing abit more sensible with it. In both cases its a bloody good car to start out with. As it stands ive not use used it for a couple of months since the tax ran out but it still has MOT untill Febuary. The cars sound as, drives lovely, engines perfect, no rust at all, suspension totaly rebuilt etc. You can see what I did to it in the build threadAs allways theres a couple of issues with it. It needs a new set of tyres, the current ones have tread left but are perished and leak badly. don't panic tho as I have a replacement set allready that can come with the car if you want them. Maybe you would just rather change the wheels totaly, its been redrilled to 4x108 so ford/pug stuff fits. The leccy windows are a bit dodgey, 2 work fine, one not at all and the drivers one is.. well verible! Sunroof works with a bit of help too! otherwise interior is mint! Only other thing I can think of is the arches have 'worn' a bit where they have been rubbing on the wheels but thats hardly a major issue. Price wise I'm open to offers at the moment, I'm not looking for silly money, just need to get it sold.

Is it me or do those rear doors look un-openable due to some daft rubber arches? ? Good luck with the sale

no tax, MOT till feb.. ^^ Goes awsomly, big car with a big engine, loves the motorway, cruises at 100mph easy officer. Not really a town orentated car, goes over speed bumps ok yet we had sparks going around the m25!! its not got alot of tolorance for roads with alot of camber or going straight over mini rounderbouts but the sump guard prevents any damage, people just look at you funny. averages about 2 comments from random people, 3 kids waving out of the back seat, 5 photos taken on camera phones and about 500 people 'trying not to look' an hour.

Much as this sits firmly in the drawer marked "not my cup of tea" I have to say I'm a little disappointed we won't get to see you finish it.
