Hi all,
As some of you may know, I became the new owner of @Chris tii E39. It wasn't a car I considered when looking for a replacement for my Leon MK3 but I had read it's journey all the way from Japan and became intrigued by its history.
When I saw it come up for sale, I contacted Chris to arrange a viewing and off to Bangor I went. As soon as I viewed it and sat in the passenger(got Chris to do the test drive), I could tell no expense was spared.
Long story short, Chris and myself reached an agreement and a deal was made. I thought I would start a new thread under my ownership and keep updating its journey.
I need to get the kidney grill stuck on properly and get a windshield chip repaired. Possibly take it to @big_pete when funds allow. Apart from that I have no plans of doing anything additional apart from drive it and enjoy it.
Today was the first proper drive it had to Glenariff forest park. Thoroughly enjoyed the coastal route along the way. I haven't taken any pics apart from one today.
