Thats the one, mechanically its sound. Drives really nice and the engine is really quiet. (well for a v6 anyway)

petet16 17-01-15 11:07 AM

It looks ok, a bit of tlc needed but crazy that it ended up in a breakers

Think I'll get mine dyno'd im sure it's down on that power.
Full stainless manifolds to the back and an ITG.
Be interesting to see how it is performing.

M17TT180 17-01-15 12:28 PM

At least it's not grey like every other car on the road.

This would sound quite funny in a BBC Radio 4 voice.

M17TT180 18-01-15 05:52 PM

Well only had it a day and have managed to source a rear bumper, skirts, passenger wing and the front bumper bib.

M17TT180 20-01-15 04:57 PM

Almost on the road. Insurance sorted, got a copy of the previous MOT from my garage so all I got to do is go to the post office and Tax the ******. Only gonna pay 1 month by direct debit £25 odd then see what happens when its booked in for mot on the 31st. If its proper shagged then will have to decide what to do.

Looking through the mot history tho seems to have done well, no major issues just the usual tyres, breaks and lights.

petet16 20-01-15 05:13 PM

Have you had a look at the area around the front jacking points, it's a bit of a rot spot

Yeah, no worries there the car is good. Just whoever owned it last must have been a bit of a tool. They've removed the front inside door pull unlock bit and the metal rods too. Will try and source the mechs but might be easier to source two complete doors!

petet16 20-01-15 05:26 PM

Weird, why would anyone do that !

I know! Pain in the backside keep having to put the window down and open it from the outside!

Anyone got a photo of how the working of the door goes?
