lee, did you see it in the flesh? cos it looked like a pretty tidy motor underneath. i peeled back the carpets and all the sills looked mint as did the spare wheel well. was impressed with the car as a whole.

did show signs of a light impact to the front passengerside tho

No mate, i was interested in buying it when Rolf had it for sale a while back though.

Looks alright really mate, give it some TLC and she should be sweet.

well first things first,

i know it starts and runs on 2 cylinder (2+3)

so i'm going to swap the injectors from 2+3 into injector holes 1+4 to be 100% sure that it the injectors at fault, then sort out what i need to change.

i have a chrome single light grille to go on (the one thats on there seems to be melted on on side).

then tidy the wheels, clean interior, reinstall the heater system, sort out any wiring and i'm done. i hope!


does anyone know the colour of this car?
