If I create a build thread I have to do something other than sell it, right? Just picked up this erm.. beauty today. Plan is to keep it roadworthy until the gathering, hopefully sorting wheels / lows / chin spoiler etc along the way..

You haven't told people the best bits yet Oh yeah. Here are the vital statistics... Engine size: 796cc Gearbox: 2 speed automatic (yes, you read that right) Power: 40 bhp (27 years ago) 41 lb/ft torque Mileage: 91200 And I drove it back from Walsall to Essex with a collapsed front seat and a stuck open high idle valve. No breakdowns and managed a steady 56mph and 65mpg all the way back!

Looks ace I hope the rear fog is going to be lost and a red bulb wired into the reverse light on the drivers side instead
