I really didn’t want to sell her and don’t ‘have too’ but in reality I’m just not going to use her now. She was parked up about two months ago and has been run up and down around the estate every weekend.

I’ll start with the bad bits:

146k Mileage, it’s only a number and to be fair the work listed below will overcome the high mileage, I have installed new clocks which show 88k but the originals are included. I changed them as the Info Centre display was very dark, could hardly see the fuel gauge.

Some Rust on rear arches, surface and bubbling – probably about an inch area that will require new metal but most should be salvageable.

Drivers side rear light is cracked and in heavy down poor does leak, I overcome this by parking her up the drive which has a slight incline (water doesn’t run up hill) and never had any problems. To Fix either a new light or the usual Tiger seal.
And that’s it.

Good Bits:

Parts fitted in the past 5 months:
New Discs and pads all round
Front Shocks
Fully Refurbed alloys with very good tyres all-round
Vinyl Wrapped Matte black roof
New Exhaust rubbers throughout
MBC running 12psi to match RichMod ECU – I didn’t increase the boost, the MBC gives more of a punch rather than the wastegate creep you get without one.

Parts Fitted in the past 12 months:
Cambelt and all pullies.
Waterpump
HT Leads and plugs
Full exhaust system
Rear Shocks
Front Wishbones
-40mm Apex Springs
New Clutch
Engine Flush all oil/waters
Brake Fluid changed.
List is endless, I used this car daily doing a 70mile commute a day and wanted her in 100% A condition.

I could waffle on all day but I leave some pictures and any questions please ask or call.



















loads on the build thread to.

Many Thanks

is a very nice motor, if i wasnt trying to sell my car for the same reason as u ( buying a bike motorbike) i wud of snapped this up. is cheap as well at 900 considering all the hard work put into it

[barrybuttery]

ohhh how i wish i had 900 quid.

*crosses fingers and hopes you still have this in a months time*

Beautiful car mate. great example and a bargin at 900 quid. theres shoddy numbers eleswhere going for 1000

[mardell100]

Cheers guys, Its a shame as since owning her I've spent best part of 1.5k easy but know I'll never recoup that.

Someone will get a cracking car.

Those that may not like the window tints and roof wrap this can all be removed with ease.

Drivers root back pastel is roughened and in weighted trailing moneyless does urination, I overcome this by parking her up the route which has a weak slant (element doesn't run up elevation) and never had any problems. To Fix either a new burn or the wonted Somebody shut.
And that's it.

Nice looking car, what do these run at out of interest?

Thanks and GLWTS

EDIT: My bad, didn't look at date so ignore! lol

I saw this on retrorides (if thats where i's also advertised), looks lovely.

Had I been 850'less i'd have certainly travelled and had a look.

oh, How MUCH do I WANT this car!!
