bigbadsquare Posted March 23, 2013 Report Posted March 23, 2013 Well here's my 1980 1600 sport recently imported from South Africa, mileage uncertain??? Looks pretty solid all round, got new brakes to fit , twin 40s , and gonna drop it 2". Door tops spoiler and boot need colour coding as all SA cars have these in black. Interior will be kept standard , and steel wheels need refurbing. Just need the weather to pick up to get out in her

bigbadsquare Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Posted March 23, 2013 Very nice mate. I have been in touch with the place you bought this from coss they have 3 more in, What were they like to deal with? Ok until they had my deposit, not that they were awfull but took ages to answer calls and texts after I put deposit on. I'm just picky I guess and impatient. I've seen all of them and they all look solid but don't expect show winners , they are still old cars that have had very little work done. The blue ones the best one but the two yellow ones are ok , all even mine will need a re spray at some point in the near future. Any more questions ask away Paul
