Compared to some of the machines I've seen on here, mine has a long way to go. Just took some pictures of it before I rip it apart to put it all straight. All comments welcome and if anyone knows anything about this car's history, please let me know.

Ignore the ugly beggar in the pictures





She's all mine and I love her to bits.

Cheers

Matt

nice saff mate

 

Other side of the river mate in Woolston, drop me a line if you want to meet up.

 

Looking good matey, whats your plans then? stripping apart.........

 

woolston eh,

im off there tommorrow to go to treston, to pick up some bits for my 3dr

nice looking saph mate

 

First thing is to sort the bodywork, at the moment its nippy enough. The boot, spoiler and rear arches are being done this weekend, then the doors and the front. Have to do it in stages as I'm not that rich.

After that is to sort the interior trim, it has a fair few rattles to get shot of.

When thats done, give it to Stu to work his magic and give me some more oomph

Obviously, theres more detail, but don't want to bore you lot to death

 

Looks like a nice saff m8

 

Be better when its finished and I take it for a service, and replace the split power steering hose, and get rid of the rust and the rattles and replace the knackered ARB mounts.

Slowly finding out what a bastid it can be. Still love it though.

My mate has it now, and when I come back next week, hopefully it'll be like new.

If anyone has any advice on how to straighten up the front lights and grille, please share, as 3 days of taking skin off my hands and I still can't get it to line up properly. Any tips welcome (as long as its not to wear gloves ).

Big up to Paul @ North York Spares for getting me the bits I need and letting me drool over his own cars

 

My Morettes line up lovely m8

Might need to bend the brackets a bit to line them up,never had trouble with mine,just takes a bit of time

 

Gonna buy you a wooden spoon mate

Ok, I'll try bending them, just hoped it wouldn't come to that.
