I bought this off eBay about a week ago, it's been off the road for 19 year, and, with a selection of new parts, went through an MOT!
It's never been welded, and as far as I know, it's completely original bodywork wise!
It's getting a full machine polish and exterior detail tomorrow, then it'll be getting the rear arches and whatever little bits of bodywork it needs doing.
Here are a few eBay pictures;
So, after I convinced myself I had to have it, which didn't take much, I brought it home and it was time for an engine flush, oil change and a quick clean...
So out came the snowfoam...
And it started attacking the dirt...
The wheels got a good scrub...
The wheel trims were refitted, and hey presto!
Then I made a start on the interior, a few before and afters with the hoover, they still need wet vac'ing, but they'll do for now!
I then bagged myself some genuine Ford headlight protectors...
And some wheels...
But, this isn't a Mercedes, so my mate made me some temporary centrecaps!
Boom, that's better!
I also fitted new plugs, leads, and an 'oh so retro' seat cover...
And that's it for now, expect plenty tomorrow after the massive detail!
