Well my current 1 is original & only has 2 bad bit's of patch up welding done on the driver's side & 1 grotty bit on the passenger side rear arch...

My plan's for that on the outside now is to leave it in red primer & tidy the inside & hopefully get a turbo on the little 957cc for something different Crossflow version of the "eccoboost" pmsl



As for this 1 the shell is all original & totally mint with no rust or rot

It's coming with everything to put it back on the road

It should be a 1.1 but I think I'm gonna go 1.6 crossflow & make it into a XR2

The hardest bit's to get hold of will be interior

This will be a long term build & I don't think I'll do anything till early next year.

The main thing i want to do is get dry stored & waxed over winter so the rust doesn't get to it

Got it back today & there is a hole I punched through in the normal place by the rear washer bottle

Found a bit at the lower part on 1 of the front wing's & the head light fixing's area need's attention

Not as good as I had been told but all an easy fix

So that's on the drive with the other 1


Also had a RESULT whilst I was there...


Buying yet another off the same lad as It's had a minor front end so will be using that for part's & breaking it


Got the pair for Ł500's


Pick the other 1 up in the new year
