    NO RUST ON ARCHES lol

    Just passed MOT but needed the following work which has all been done.

    CV gaitor replaced
    2 New tyres ( p zero )
    Rear brake caliper overhaul and new pads
    New front brake pipe ( copper and flexi )
    Brake fludi flushed and renewed
    Headlights aligned


    Bad bits

    Sunroof was leaking and has been siliconed in , im in talks with a guy on the forum to get one delivered so should be able to sort that before a sale. As it stands though the roof lining is out waiting for a seal

    Passenger window goes up slow , needs the runners greasing which i will probably get around to this weekend

    Couple of small holes from self tappers in the door cards around speaker area from large speakers being fitted.

    Other than this its general age really , odd dint/scratch and the odd burn/tear in the interior but overall the car is very very straight and clean im just really honest as i hate giving false hope.

    Few pics





































    Apprently the car used to run 170 bhp , persoanlly i would say 155 - 160, its not shy and feels good on power

    P.S if anybodies hankering on the cams and chip , feel free to come and remove what you need to to check it out , as long as you put it back. Car is well worth the money without these though to be honest. Its a very clean valver.

    Vin plate isnt there as the above post, fairly sure its has a new front panel in, only reason i could tell was because it hasnt got the bolt out section like most valvers.

    Perfect paint match and no physical damage to the car to indicate accident damage and nothing recorded so doesnt bother me
