I snatched this from the jaws of a HiAb, sweet eh? Just about to run out of tax and test and the off side has been swiped by a Lorry, I paid too much because it's sweet and I'm getting it back to mintish again, then probably moving it on but I was so surprised about how well it drives and how peppy the 1.7 OHC engine is!   |

That looks fantastic! Very well saved  I've heard those 1.7 engines are pretty good, that should make you a lovely useable classic I reckon  |

I'm afraid it just owes me too much to keep it, I'm going to have to sell to recoup costs I'm afraid, I was using it all last week and stereo aside it is wonderful!

Looks fab from condition from the pictures.
I hope the damage isn't too extensive.
The 1.7 O-series engine must be almost bulit proof.
We got a few 2.0 turbo O-series engine cars in the family so a lesser CC block should be trouble free if serviced through its life.
I found a 1.7 ital estate in a local scrappy, check the abandoned ones, thread for a picy, its in a state.
