:lol:
Well its been lying around long enough (off the road around 2.5 yrs), been bumped from one fraud repairer to the next so I decided to bring it down to have a look at whats needing done, what its going to cost & have go at getting it back on the road doing all if not most of the work myself.
From 1st look round :
Needs a few small MOT parts - silly things light bulbs & wiper rubbers.
Bit of bodywork repair - arch that fell off put back on.
New rear valance & a bit of work on the boot floor which will req.
Water getting in somewhere so needs investigating & sorted out - might just be the Wastabo roof thing.
Engines a bit smokey still...............that will be left to last and rebuilt top and bottom end or replaced with another one.
Few snaps:
Rotten rear:
