... this:<br>
<br>
<!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br>
<br>
interesting... just up the road from me, stored in dry garage, used to be owned by a nun apparantly... <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :| --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... ferent.gif ALT=":|"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
<br>
runs ok, spluttered a bit, drivers seat needs re-covering but interior good, tyres good<br>
<br>
had:<br>
<br>
new o/s sill<br>
new cap & leads<br>
zorst back section<br>
<br>
needs at a superficial glance over:<br>
<br>
n/s chassis leg plating<br>
subframe bushes<br>
a good clean up and mop over<br>
MOT<br>
<br>
If I take this on it'll become 'project blue'<br>
<br>
ive had a stab at it, compete with me at your peril!<br>
<br>
grrrrr.<br>
<br>

<p>project orange - the longest rebuild project ever<br>
project white - let the mission begin...<br>

ok, im not being fair...<br>
<br>
the tyres are all virtually new, it spluttered a bit coz it was on choke and hadnt been run for a few weeks but went 1st time, didnt get properly warm but no dodgy smoke and sounded quite sweet. the back section of the zorst is stainless.<br>
<br>
only downside is that its a 1300. (sorry justyn, <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> ). <br>
<br>
i mentioned it to the mrs, the response was:<br>
<br>
"blah blah blah, grrrr grrrrr, space, more scrap cars, grrrrrr, money, blah blah, grrrrrr." <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
<br>
plating, bushes, MOT and clean up could probably be sorted in a day.<br>
<br>
i've bidded low on it so any proper dolly person wants a go at it feel free, probably save me a right ear chewing by the mrs...<br>
<br>
she'll be gutted when something else drops off her rover 214 and potentially cost more than this car to put right! <br>
