Looks good in the pics, has a fair amount of rust though and needs a bit of tidying up, but s'all good, just deciding what to do with it.
Does sound proper nice ;D
Polo is quicker though.
Guz, got any pics of these wheels?
Cheers for the comments.

its not a polo! wow that is an impulsive buy but its gotta be done. I also did 230 mile for something i did not expect to find last night, but compared o a cosworth its quite insignificant!  |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

Hes got a beaut this time, i went over with him and his dad to pick it up, and his dad was keener than HE was to get it! Its a bit rough round the edges like he said but for what the bloke was asking for it he cant complain, add to that the fact that he managed to jew it up proper stylee he got a propa bargain! Youd never guess the mileage its done, no rattles or squeeks, just the odd knock from the susspension as you would expect. I recon he should track day it or drift it, hes already getting the hang of it lol This car was meant to be his, the connections are mind boggling and almost endless!!!
I went out in the polo nutbag for the first time yesterday. Box-of-frogs-nutter-b'stard. Thats all.

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Indeed.
Indeed, found out how much fun RWD with power is yesterday. Driving a car like that is completley alien to me!
Guz, what size are the wheels?
Mercs are 5x112 PCD.
Going back to the polo on tuesday, thats gonna be weird!
