Hello Chap

Cav is well tidy - sure i've seen you bout in it and also seen the astra I think - as i work in Plym.

I sold an astra for my first RST - is a quality move. Do you know Colin from Mad for it in Liskeard by any chance ? He's good to get to know if your getting an RST or ford. He often has S1 up for sale too. See www.mad-for-it.com

cheers mate i brought the cav with the wheels allready on i never picked them but its one of the things that made me fall in love with it

when i come to get a s1 will i will have between 2-3k to spend im not expecting to get a mint one for that but it should get me a good one yeah?

or i was thinking of going the other way and seeing if i could get a cheap one and restore it or is that more trouble then its worth?

think you'd be better off paying a few more quid for a nicer one then buying a dog and having to spend loads of dollar on it to get it back upto spec. If u've got a spare hour look at the threads in the in the restoration section. Tony has nearly got his ESRT back together and plenty of other thread is there to keep u amused.

But on a serious note it will be worth paying a few more squid for a nicer example.!
