Gone and brought another one !

Post by leto » Mon Feb 08, 2010 10:36 pm

Hi

Just picked this up to night spotted it on e bay was fairly local so went to see it , knocked the guy down to £80 and took it away there and then , well i washed it first!

Been sitting since '07 but not really that bad only what you would expect, only got it as it was cheap and i realised its got later suspension on , plus head rests that my girlfriend has been moaning are missing from Leto.

Not really looked at it properly but towed well , tried to bumped it when we got in but feels like throttle cable has snapped not sure what i'm going to do with it yet !

(giving it a wash to remove all the moss)

Hi

Yeah its the one from Sidcup had a look in the light of day would need a fair bit of welding underneath to get back on the road so i think i'm going to break it so i have some spares to keep Leto on the road.
Would need inner and outer sills , floor pans, bottom of wings , rear arches ,doors,seats are mouldy and front door cards have been cut about plus theres a dent down the length of passengers side and thats only what i have found so far as i said its only what you would expect as its been sitting a while.

Its all doable and i would like to ,but i have enough on my plate as it is , guess you can't save em all :(

On the plus side it rolls and kind of stops and has later front suspension i will have a go at getting it started soon engine looks good just over 70k on the clock.

Lee hows the coupe coming along done any more on it ??

Cheers,

Rob. :mrgreen:
