i never thought id have to do this but for want of a better explination , im a builder and my livelyhood is rapidly going up shit creek ! its either sell the cars to cover losses or loose the house .

some of you have seen the car but its only been to 2 local shows so most havent .
the car is a 1985 2.8i ghia x exec , ive been led to believe there arent that many GENUINE models still registered in the uk
it has undergone a complete restoration job which if you include the time the previous owner spent on it , has taken over 11 years .
there has been thousands upon thousands of pounds spent on the old girl on both purchasing new replacement parts and having parts chromed or polished including door boot and bonnet hinges/catches and engine parts etc etc . the standard wood trim was replaced with burr walnut .
i had the paintwork done a couple of years ago but unfortunately a few slow reactions apeared which meant a couple of months ago i had to have the front end bare metalled and re painted . 2 of the doors have a couple of reactions showing so to make it perfect they would need to be done .
there is no rust whatsoever , never been welded and hopefully never will be .
as with most cars there are things that i have been meaning to do but just havent had the time or space to do it , they are
replace the interior heater pipes as they are not correct and the passenger one interfears with the glove box
the front screen interior pillar trims are missing
the ignition casing lower part got stolen when i was putting the car together
the rear headrest tubes need clipping in
and the cibbies need wiring up
there are probably other bits but tbh i really cant think of them.

Just to make the old girl stand out i decided hydraulics would be a good idea , so i bought and fitted 4 rayvern pumps which give it front back side to side and 3 wheel motion . there are 6 batteries in the boot powering the system plus 2 spare . it runs at 12v but can easily be wired to run 24v which will make it move a hell of a lot quicker (probably tear the car apart / hence not doing it).
some people may well say ive ruined the car by fitting hydro's and i kinda agree which is why i fitted them without doing any unrepairable damage ! meaning the standard parts can be fitted straight back on with a couple of large washers used on the rear shock mounts

as i allready said i had every intention of sorting all the niggly bits out but i gotta make sacrafices for the family so here it is .

if anyone is interested and decides to buy the old girl they will need to bring a transit sized van with them for all the spares and i really mean that . ihave boxes in the loft , boxes in the garage aswell as sacks with door panels and chrome trims , new bumpers dashboards etc etc etc it all has to go .
