No way, I lived there for a short time a few years ago! ;D
Small world eh? Were you about for work or summit?
Well as requested I'm gonna stick up a picture of my "project"... i'm sure there'll be a lot of boo-hiss/not another/
etc etc... but there are reasons! again I suppose if you have to ask why? then... it's my re-shelled 1985 Nova 1.3 SR...[with cool brown interior] pic is of it in daylight after a few years hiding in the garage, whilst between houses. it's now under a tarp, under furniture in the new garage... just waiting till my holiday next week when I can unearth it again.
the car is lowered!... it doesn't have an engine/gearbox at moment, that's in a million peices in boxes all around my workshop.
plans are to get it running again, and on the road and use it for some sprints. longer term plans are for strip out, roll cage and turn it into a 80's esq tarmac stage rally car... I love the whole spit and shine thing, and the rat look... this will probably end up somewhere in between... just a nice usable cheap road/sprint car that I can then improve on speed wise. keep it in the 1400cc and under category for racing.
I've been collecting boxes and boxes of parts ready to throw at it... all will be revealed soon enough though.
I'm still looking for a few odds and ends though... a nice set of old school mk2 cav sri alloys would be cool...among other tat!
Think i got off on the right foot with this my first car... way back in 1991... bought it for £100 when i was a wee nipper... well 16 actually... did the usual with it... loaded it with filler to cover the myriad of holes and dents, must have kept isopon in business for a year or so! sprayed it, stuck an mk2 xr2 interior in it... holed the pistons in the throbbing 957cc lump in no time so got another lump and polished and ported the head, stuck a bigger carb on etc etc...
anyhoo enjoy.... i'm off for a few jars down the pub in the sun...
