I posted a few weeks ago saying i got it, but hadn't got pics get, finally got some the other day.


Story goes i bought it off a mid 40's lady who's had it for 10 years (nearly the whole life of the car). I've got every old MOT and all the service history - She's spent thousands on it!

Its not got 1 single mod only thing its got is a headunit and an immobiliser.

Ive had her for 2 weeks now, just done the main things like give it a full service, replace the leaky rocker cover gasket and oil pressure switch and gave it a cambelt cause it was due in 2 thousand miles.

Has the odd scratch etc but that will get sorted out in good time


Let me know what you think guys, i'd appreciate the comments.

I think she's in great nick considering its 16 years old and done 117k.

I'm in the process of getting her mechanically 110% and getting the few paint scratches done and then i'll decide whether to sell her on to another enthusiast or start to modify it, although i am shying away form modifying it as i dont want to spoil it.


Cheers guys!

 

does looks a super clean RST!!

depends what you want from the car whether you mod it or not, but IMO just put a stainless exhaust on and leave it at that.

Nice find

 

dont even want to put an exhaust on it cause that would take away its originality

i'd like to keep her for a while and then sell her and maybe buy a pre - modded rst, one that already has a few bits on it.




could a mod please resize that pic in my first post please? didnt realise they'd come out that big!

 

Looks lovely mate, very nice for 117k!

Rad is gonna love this one!

Why dont you just keep it and drive it how it is, appreciate it for what it is for a while, dont sell it straight away, you'll fall for it too much!

 

i am appreciating it beleive me! i love it like a child lol


i've had comments from quite a few people how nice it is as it is. tis good.

 

looks lovely mate.

 

Looks very very nice mate.........although if it were mine it would deffo be modding it!!

They are so easy to modify to increase the performance it would be rude not to!!

And lets be honest...in standard from they aren't fast...or handle very well.....or even sto that well for that matter!

 

true, im tempted just to do a few bits to it, suspension kit, bit more boost, exhaust etc

 

Your right

 

i thought it was quite a quick car as standard, compared to how quick they can be made they're not but quick compared to alot of average euro boxes

 

Who's Rad?

 

Me

 

oh

 

Not many left like this now

 

Looks well I like it when they turn up like this
The grey ones are best aren't they Rad!
Mine has a similar history, had a few engine mods but looked a std car, changed a bit in the last few months
