alright folks. bought ths series 2 about 2 months ago for a project to try and keep me out the pub. i paid £1200 for it which i thought wasnt too bad. started stripping it today and heres how i got on

 

 

ive seen worse mate.i fort it was abit prisey though

 

the guy i got it from was orginally wanting £2000. ive seen series 2s for more money and in worse condition so thats why i think it was an alright deal

 

that sound familar.lol. is there still a lot of s2 down peterhead way?

 

Looks ok with a bit of TLC it will look mint

 

i think theres another 2 in the town but im not sure. i havnt seen them for a while

 

Nice project mate



Brian

I started with it but I had to replace almost every thing
the only thing that dident need replacing was the roof

dont know when wel be back to it but when we are hopefully get the floor finished off then start on the corner of the window corners.

 

looking good i just found all that rust too, in both of my cars most of it because of some bellend who tried to repair it first and not done it properly.keep up the good work

 

 

coming allong now taylor, done by xmas you reckon

 

I had my Puma all re-sprayed and it looks a million dollars,we got it done at Elder and Paton Perth,what a great job they carried out on the car.

 

keep the faith,mine was like yours,stripped it,then took it round a few places where everybody promised to weld it,bougt loads and loads of bits for it,couldnt get it welded so i sold all the bits,actually a guy with no license up your way bought some bits off me for his escort cab,got a cossie now,same story,should get it back this week from having a 3k respray!woohoo.
