I'm from Galway.

Here's the pics from when I bought her.





But now it's in the shed in primer waiting for me to pull my finger out and finish it. I do however have another project on the go so it's hard to get time for both.

Should try to organise a Irish passionford meet some time......maybe 2014? Give me time to finish mine

The passenger side valance cracked one morning when I was heading to work in Carlow, 4 in the morning, quiet country road with one or 2 little yumps in it had nothing to do with it. But fixed that and got it coated by that crowd in Birmingham. Damn things are expensive.

Driving my brothers saff at the moment which is the other one in my avatar. Costs me an arm and a leg on petrol clocking up 300+ miles a week in it!

At the time I bought her, fairly standard with just an exhaust and induction kit but when I took her of the road I had installed several oil leaks, and an lsd that was tightened slightly too much and popped the lsd unit casing.

Rebuilding the engine before it goes back in. My brothers one is running 390 odd, can't remember the exact figure so will have to beat his

Jeepers that's cheap, and didnt know they accepted them as clssics, much like tin cans and other jap scrap. Must look into it myself.
