Well after a string of e36 tourings crippling me financially and emotionally I am back behind a humble retro again for daily transport .
This was not really planned but with 2 other projects to complete (my mk2 escort and now a 105e estate!) I needed something cheap to insure, cheap to run and also something that will hold its value! This has ticked all those boxes and before you continue reading no , just no it will never be 'drifted' in my ownership.
I bought it with some Ali G / puff daddy rims on it , first thing first for it anyway slapped the stock steelies on. Miles better. I have plans for wheels anyway I will have a root through my garage and dig something out.. more on that soon.
as bought
And pretty much as it sits now.. found a derelict? petrol station in Chelmsford here while picking parts up for my mk2 , so thought it would be rude to not take a photo or two.
Autumnal shot
its done something like 34,000 miles from new so quite a find! As usual with me plans are lows, wheels and subtle retro touches all on a budget/parts in mine or friends garages, as realistically I shouldn't even be lowering it .. but it just HAS to be done.
Will try to keep the thread updated, so yeah things have been bought and stuff will happen.
Have a photo of my mk2 I am building as well, nearly finished , looks can be deceiving ..
