ghetto Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 hi folks thought id put this on here see what ya think, i brought this from work i work at LKM scrap yard........ the car i had to go pick up from a chap that had it since 1982 and its been in storage since 1999 so after 12 years in the dark he decided to scrap it which is were i come into the picture after i picked it up i told the yard i wanted to buy it so £300 later it was mine and then the work started........ anyways enough chit chat on with the pictures the day i got it dont worry thats all bitcumen on the bonnet from the garage roof that leaked the interior in all its shit browness the 99 tax disc after a clean up and unfortunately the engine had snapped the cam belt so out she came and in with the new one and ready for a bit of a trim up of the springs because one had snapped so the only right thing to do was to cut the rest to match next on the list is to poly bush the lot and may go lower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
