adz the stig Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 well its good some one saved it. i thought crushing a 1988 would be a bit harsh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) its mine if i want it way ime looking at it is a.if tinworm is bad itll be a good source of parts/spaires for my coupe shell resto as i have a completely bare rolling shell b. if its not in to bad nick/not a complete rot box and it maybe worth restoring to standard Edited March 22, 2011 by steel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom says SORN not due otherwise it would say Licensed so at least it wasnt forgotten about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) like buses you dont have 1 then you get them all come at once lol i actually feel a bit better about it being sorned tbh lends more wait to the sellers story about it being parked up 3 years ago and losing the keys if it was taxed i was thinking blown engine didnt give keys so potential buyer cant try to start it ect p.s is it an exclusive?

adz the stig Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 i thought it was from the boot spoiler? a exsclusive i mean. when you picking her up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steel Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) got the car about 2 hours ago and i think its going to be a spares car for me the roof around the sunroof is really bad and bulging on the 1 corner with bubbles running the length of the roof from sunroof back and the sunroof is seized closed, would definitely need a roof skin the inner wings are pretty solid and clean with just a bit of rust/hole on the wing mounting rail above the shock mount theres surface rust on the nose cone but solid, rust and holes on inner wing in front of door pillar but easily repairable floor above jacking points has gone good wings and bonnet but in need of painting doors are good as is boot lid good points it is an exclusive with all the right bits has the irmscher panel that goes between the rear lights has the 3 spoke irmscher steering wheel and cover and a spare 3 spoke steering wheel and boss in the boot the seats are good no rips even carpets look good once cleaned the mileage on the clocks is 86k judging by the interior i would say genuine miles it has a boot full of stuff which i need to sort through inlet manifolds interior trim rear lights square headlights ecu ect ect the alloys are good condition as are the skirts and bumper all in all if i had the time i think i would restore it but i am probably going to strip it of all its bits and make 1 good car out of this and my coupe shell that does seem like a shame i will sleep on it and decide in a day or two Edited March 23, 2011 by steel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
