I figure if I empty the ashtray and polish the gear knob - all will be sweetness and light..
Zen and the art of denial.
Perfect combination.

PICS..!!
Taken 5 minutes ago - kinda rainy out there.
Hopefully, pics show rust free bodywork, tidy interior, original engine bay except for two fuel pumps which do nothing, absolutely no bubbles anywhere along sills or guards.
Suitable case for treatment.
Looks like it has not seen any polish for 10 years or so. Might be rewarding...
Check it out...
















They're still out there..!
So that's nice.

Re: Somebody phoned me up..
Nice tidy car Kilroy
whats happening with your blue estate???
You'll see my TC on trade me soon, I've got mixed feelings about selling it, but since I own this And its in Colorado, and I've got to be picking it up in Sept, and I'm going to do around 3500miles in it before loading it up in LA and paying for shipping, It's got to go asap
I'm going to wreck my van too, sadly, its just not good enough for me to spend more time and money on it, when I can buy a good one so cheaply

Re: Somebody phoned me up..
Yahoooo, PICS, thanks Kilroy, makes it all worthwhile. Is that the original body protection wax on the inside of the nearside rear wing and if so why is that the only place that it still exists. She looks quite good well done. Wish some bugger would phone me up

Re: Somebody phoned me up..
Yo.
The blue estate is pretty much stuffed.
Drives so well, but the body is shagged and beyond my economic ability to save.
Plan to rip all the bits out and put them in a car.
Would love another rust-free Mk3 estate.
Guess one will show up then...
Cheers.
