the cars slowly geting there have done quite a few things since i got it.
when i picked it up (360 miles away) the brakes were non existant the radiator was knackered and the speedo didnt work. the trip home was a bit scary but as soon as i went through the first tunnel (dropped a gear :lol: ) i forgot all that.Got the cambelt done as soon as i got home good job realy the mechanic showed me it after and it was cracking all round :shock:
got a new rad fitted when the belt was done 2. then for the brakes got all new shiny discs n pads now she stops and goes lovely. allso when i got it it didnt have a stereo so fitted an alpine head unit and some 6x9s powered by a little kenwood amp wich sits pefectly behind the rear bench. The 6x9s i built some pods for and retrimed the back shelf with the use of an old chair i had lying around
