My Alfa has developed a rather horrid gearbox problem, so needed a car urgently, I got this fearsome beast to run around in, cost £240 with tax and ticket. Has done a might 200,000 but everything works and only a few rust spots. The handling is, erm, interesting, with performance being a bit on the dire side.   So the plan is to rip everything out I don't need, deck it, weld the diff. paint it matt black then do some drifting. The roof bars need to stay though, might even put a cheap ladder on there ;D |

Schweet. Don't even try and get anywhere quick in it dude. Just sit back and cruise.

No matter how hard you try, it won't go quick! But as long as I can get it sideways and have a laugh I don't mind. Just need to paint is soon to stop people assuming I've borrowed my granddad's car

Nice to see you here from Barry Boys fella, sad to hear about the Q4, they're so rare over here.
I can send you a scan of a CAR road test back in the day if I can find it if it please ye.
Do you still have the 2000 or GS of any description?

A quick update Borrow one tent at work  A quick bit of preparation  Take one tin of turck pain and apply using Homebase value rollers  2 hours later, the masterpiece is complete   Add the finishing touch  Interior is now completely stripped of everything bar the front seats (you won't have many friends with this car), heater and radio |
