thought i would put up some pics of my series one as i will be doing a bit of work to it

i brought it off ebay for£2150 which was not too sad as it has a very solid body and never been welded it had been garaged and the last family had it for about 8 years
it has rolling road print outs with it for 157bhp but that wont last for long as it will be having some engine work done and bodywork tidyed up

here are some pics of it as i brought it

little update

unfortunatly when they got the car on the ramps at the bodyshop it had been welded once on the passenger side at the rear of the sill but that still aint too sad except from when i got home i started fitting a grs frount mount intercooler and i wanted it to sit as far forward as i could so i got out the angle grinder(you can all see whats going to be said next) and as i do when i have a angle grinder in my hands i giot carried away and butchered the front of my car it wasnt till i finished and looked at it properly i thought oh what have i done(dont worry it will have a grille when it comes out of the body shop







i also tidyed it a bit up and changed the bumper corners








it is now in the painters getting sorted so as soon as it comes out i will get more pics up for you

also in store is the engine to go in with a few goodys and a full leather interior
