Andy used to work for me!
His car was a 40,000 mile, one owner car, in excellent condition. He actually bought this car when he owned a red GTE, for the interior.
Being a lazy git, he never got round to changing it over!
I had this XE lump and couldn't sell it in ebay for a decent price. I warned the people watching the auction I had a use for it. So I built this sad looking little car!!
We learnt a lot from Andys car, built a 2.0 Corsa and now this. We know what to expect in the conversion.
