well she is out of tax come the end of the month going to sorn then some tlc is going to happen.
Front bumper coming off to get painted, some scores etc thinking of the rear one too as it has a mark on it. The scoop baldy discoloured also so more than likely get that done.
Then after that the whole underside is going to get undersealed and take rear sumframe out get it blasted and painted/powder coated as its fusty, unless anyone else knows of one sitting??? basically want to get underneath cleaned up and have it sitting on its toes thinking of rebushing it when im at it but will see what happens

Its not bad if you keep your right foot under control, its not great but not as bad as I thought it would be. 25 of super (only run it on the that) would get me from donaghadee to castlereagh twice back and forth and still be some in it.....never worked out MPG in it really lol if it needs fuel it gets it not used a hell of a lot tbh the odd b road blast and id take it to work on a Saturday if im not in the BMW

Probably still there because its quite modified, service history is good ,only thing I would say is check the rear arches!!!

Not much else to check for other than the usual? I think it looks awesome, hard to beat a classic wagon

just make sure engines nice and quiet mine had a full rebuild including two heads literally 3000 miles before I bought it there is 97k on mine. try to get a could hoke up in the rear turrets they can go quite bad mine was wild tbh but get every last bit cut out as in previous posts, I have hear they can rot at battery tray as well but mines solid there. if you pm me your no. I can send you photos of how bad my rear turrets where so you know where to look!

So got the car ready for selling wee bits and pieces needed done there was repair on the radiator that had started to seep a bit and a lazy starter so both pulled out and replaced today
Old radiator looked bit sorry for itself
Nice new one :
Old starter ;
New one in place
Then a quick wash :
And now in our classifieds....might regret this one
