Piers Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Just to clarify, the Vintage cars will not be touched lol.... they cant even be washed like "normal" cars as the paint is older than all of your relatives They are completely standard...

Piers Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Not surprised mate looks like it's had a lot of love! Considering jumping on the Mk1 bandwagon meself tbh Get it done! cant believe how lucky iv been in finding this one... the shell is seriously mint! (Q - Blaine... lol)i think the colour of it put a lot of people off going to see it or having interest in it. For me i dont mind because i was always going to strip one and repaint it anyway. Already spoken to Matt at UCC about getting it over there for a full hit. Going to get him to paint inside the car and inside the engine bay in a graphite/grey colour and the exterior in a nice blue I need to sort somewhere to keep it first tho... waiting on the chap with the garages to get back to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piers Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 One final piece of the puzzle purchased today to get it back to standard.Nice decent set of Bathurst, will arrive before Monday. Also sold the 5 spokes. Busy weekend ahead! Going to enjoy my last few days on Air. Saturday is the day...The air is staying on the forum and im looking forward to seeing what the new owner does with it The lupo is still for sale and im asking for offers close to £3000. Its just had a new gearbox and is well looked after... just read through the thread. Im going to give it a service too before its sold so it should be running nice and sweet for anyone who wants it. It definately needs to sell this time! i need something good on fuel and cheap to run! anyone want a swap for something with a small engine or a diesel get in touch. Im open to any offers right now so dont be affraid to ask!Piers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
