new car picked up today

Post by norway_triumph » Sun Mar 16, 2008 5:26 pm

my first green one actually :o
car runs and drives beautifully , some small bits to fix before mot like a new seatbelt, tighten up the handbrake , fasten the battery - nothing major.
the car have been home spayed - it's ok on a distance byt not at close look. dont think i'm bottered respaying it though as it looks good enough.
interior is nice with no rips and just a doorpanel and the rear parcel shelf needing sorting out. engine bay is very clean. took some more pics after i got home but then i had taken a couple and forgot i had taken the memory-card out of the camera :oops:

There is a loong story behind me getting this as i actually have hoped the guy sorting it out would be finishing it. i've even supplied a lot of parts for the rebuild. (stainless steel exhaust among other) Have to try to get the marina word spread here in norway. Sadly he had to abandon his storage and so he have to cut down on the cars . we did a deal that he got a all restored /finished ado16 morris 1300 and a mg1300 parts car (small cars that he could have room for at home) and i got the marina and a vauxhall. Wouldn't even considered the vauxhall but beiing a estate in very good nick as the previous owner have lashed over £3500 at it i just couldn't resist when the green 1800 was thrown in for good measurement :)
