DO EEET!!!! I love these unloved post land-yacht sedans (although the g/f hate them with a passion) If you have the technology, and spares. I say crack on. Just one think Akku, how bloody big is your garden D

If you buy that you will be in heavenly bliss for two weeks. Then the springs will collapse, the doors will fall off in comedy fashion and obviously the gearbox/engine/both will be toast. You will end up with six cars, none of which work, a still-too-big-to-be-healthy collection of slot mags and a bus ride to work. It will end up being sold via some exceedingly dogy European characters who eat kittens for breakfast. The End. Sorry Akku! But if you do buy it and fit slot mags I might be interested in the hub caps

Seth - you are probably right. You missed the part where Em sues for divorce though.

Looks thoroughly disgusting, and as pointed out by Seth most likely to go hideously wrong almost instantly.
Of course you should buy it.

You will end up with six cars, none of which work what? The Capri don't work either? What's wrong wif it, AK? "We can rebuild. We can make it better." (pan shot to Lee Majors running and jumping, buppp-bup-bu-bup-bu....)

what? The Capri don't work either? What's wrong wif it, AK? I laid it up over winter to give me chance to "do some jobs on it". In late 1991. It kinda needs a bit of everything now.

i thought it might need air suspension and a really loud stereo, it don't really have enough seat belts in for me though, unless its stays really cheap I'm not bidding, i do like its looks though, has mucho potential i feel.
