my mk2 estate just arrived!

[ste j mk1]

just had my new toy delivered, its a fully restored mk2 estate 1980v 1.1 base model and its a beaut! 32,000 miles on her, i plan on lowering it 2" all round and some 7x13 jbw polished 4 spokes, although the exhaust hangs very low and only just goes in my garage due to slope upto it. but for now i'll just enjoy using it, just need to tax it, passed mot with no probs and insurance was only £89 fully comp!

heres a few pics

Me thinks the same - It's too far from gone to mod

No it wasnt from eBay, I know what you mean about been too good to mod but that's what I bought it for to tinker with

[XjamesX]

damn that is tidy!! Congrats

[ste j mk1]

gave her a full buff and polish today came up mint, was'nt bad in the first place but was a pleasure to clean, been a valeter for 25 years and the satisfaction from cleaning a nice car is great! pics ar'nt the best off my phone but i will take some more with the i pad when i get her out next.

Very nice, think id be keeping it standard although i have the same dilema with my mk2 ghia, part of me wants to mod it then i look around and you just dont find a nice standard untouched anymore.

 

Good luck with your decision, looks a minter.

[ste j mk1]

think i'm keeping it standard, might just change the 155 80 tyres for 185 60's i've put my new -2" lowering kit and capri recaros in for sale section, will leave it as is for now.

one word superb

[ste j mk1]

went to work in it today, got some attention, drives like a dream felt good cruising in the sun

[grifterkid]

That is gorgeous in every way sir...! You really do need to resist the temptation to severely mod' this beauty...

[ste j mk1]

yes i'm not modding it now, just fit a cd player in it tonight as it did'nt have anything in it at all, found a biffo parcel shelf speaker on ebay what will fit on shelf under dash so i don't have to butcher anything fitting speakers
