D'ya see where I'm coming from now? maybe I could have been clearer earlier
Yeh it clearer now.
I feel really bad, im such a sucker for old cars like this. im like a crazy old woman who rehomes cats
.
I still in the back of my mind want to buy this car, just cos i feel it deserves some love and attention to get it looking nice again......
But at the same time, im after a cheap project as its only a bit of fun, im not like some mad RS entuiast in a tracksuit
, but the price is just not worth it, when for another £200-£300 i can get a car with a clean history.
But maybe there is a message here underlying all this and also reflected in the pole..........
Maybe there are no "clean" S1's left to restore, maybe all thats left out there are the last pickings from over the years!?
