Recently new rear calipers, all new rear brake lines, fresh fluid.

This is not a concourse car, but has been loving restored by me and my old man, there are some stone chips, little scuffs and 3 small rust scabs about 10mm wide on the back, it was done as a timewarp car not a show winner as I'm not that anal.
Only selling it as I've put so much time and money into it I'm scared to drive it anywhere, it's not getting the use it should, and I've got the chance of an E30 I've been after for some time.
It does have a few niggles- 1st to 2nd gearchange when cold at high revs will grind the synchro a little, but fine when its warm or you're gentle when its cold. (New gearbox oil too)
The odometer stopped sometime from the last MOT until now, although all the clocks work fine (backed up by old MOT's)
Central locking works fine on the key, but will bounce back when you lock it from the key fob, so it's only the actuator fighting a stiff mechanism, but I'm not stripping the door cards off to WD-40 it at this stage!
It's a cracking little car, everything is stiff and like brand new, pulls like a train and stops on a dime. If i had dry storage I'd throw a sheet over it and let it just go up in value, but I've got too many cars and I'm hell bent on this E30 so unfortunately she has to go. There are probably lots more new parts than i listed, I've just lost track!
