BOUGHT MY LATEST PROJECT ABOUT FIVE WEEKS AGO BADLY PAINTED MK3 16I CAB 1984
FOUR OWNERS FROM NEW
SHE WASNT IN BAD CONDITION
THE BOY I BOUGHT IT FROM HAD JUST MOTD IT WHEN SOME ONE TRYED TO STEEL IT AND SLASHED THE ROOF
HAD BEEN PARKED UP FOR SIX MONTHS
REAR ARCHES STARTIN TO ROT FRONT WING TOPS
BUT IM GETTIN THERE NOT TO BAD KEPT ALL ORIGINAL PANNELS
JUST GETTIN IT READY FOR PAINT AND SORCIN PARTS AT THE MOMMENT
IVE HAD LOADS OF FORDS OVER THE YEARS
BUT MY FAV WAS A 1982 BLACK XR3
THAT WAS SADLY WROTE OFF BY SOME SILLY COW ON THE SCHOOL RUN
THOUGHT IT WAS ABOUT TIME I HAD ANOTHER MK3

HOPE TO KEEP YOU UPDATED
