Recent barn find. Been locked away in a garage since 2003. 109,000 miles.
All in all, a pretty good find, I'm currently working on mechanical bits to get it running again; usual stuff; timing belt, water pump, alternator seized, new radiator. brakes all OK for discs, pads and a fluid change, just fitted new front springs, Otherwise pretty good.
Interior is all present and correct, in surprisingly good condition for the mileage but a bit grubby after 12 years in a garage.
Bodywork is in very good shape. No accident damage, no rust! Sills are excellent, wheel arches looking a little shabby but no holes anywhere, pretty good for a 20 year car.
Wheels need a refurb and new tyres. Will post some pics when I get some progress.
