Fantastic mate glad to hear she is still going strong (no reason she wouldn't be) I still have all the pictures here for the work done. I lost your mail address so couldn't forward them. PM your mail address and I will send them up.
I really miss Hetty the kids still ask about it at least once a week, if you ever do a stupid thing like I did and sell it please let me have first refusal.
Cheers
Karl

I was 20 in 1994 and had two cars.
First up was a Capri 1.6 Laser C606GHL, I spent a fortune on that car resprayed in diamond white with white pepperpots and 185 tyres stretched to fit. Full alpine stereo from a rolls royce of all things. I have since owned 2.0 and 2.8 capris but loved the the 1.6 the most. Ironically 6 months after selling it had been sprayed purple and scrapped.......
Anyway I traded up from that to a 1989 Volvo 480 ES. I wanted to be different from my mates in Nova's & Fiesta's etc. Loved that car as well but financially it nearly ruined me, soooo unreliable.
Sorry no pics though all lost in a house move 8 years ago

Thanks for all the help. After much trawling around I'm going with M6 autos on the tyburn road. Should be going in next week so will post some before and after shots here.
Guy there Russell seems to know his stuff and the standard of there work looks pretty good.
Cheers

That's about a 2 min drive away, I'll see if I can get a number and get down there. Just been quoted £180 over the phone from a place on the Tyburn Road with 12 months guarantee, I'm going there Friday to see what they are like.

Cheers guys I will give them a try. I have called Pristine and they now have a local agent and do an exchange service so your car is in and out in an hour. I have also founfd a place in Blackpool offering something similar. £250 for exchange and then I have to get them fitted.
Will let you know how I get on and post some pictures up.
Cheers

Nice one. Don't suppose you have a number to hand or address??? I know I'm lazy and should just look it up which I will do tomorrow.

I need to get the Aero alloys on my SAAB 95 refurbed, I have been to LAPTAB in Birmingham and they want £370. A local place want £300.
Are these prices any good? Does anybody have any contacts for this sort of work in Birmingham / Solihull / Coventry area?
Cheers
Karl

I used to see this car at work in Coventry and it is a stunner and at that price has to be a bargain for someone.

I doubt it as the scimitar is no looking very tired and they have a MK7 Escort as a runner. I have never seen any action anywhere near these cars.

I always log in and have a read of this thread. I have been meaning to post the next couple for ages but never have my camera handy so I have cheated and used street view.
All cars are just off the A45 between the NEC and Birmingham and have been sat for at least 8 years.
I give up how do you upload a picture from streetview???

Isn't this the one as SOTW on Piston heads? I think your right the day will come when the XR sierra's will go up in value.

Had one of those on an F plate back in the early 90's. Loved it and would love another but only just finished paying for it. :-) cost me a fortune to keep running.
Great cars though

The old deserted garage is still trading.
I called the number when I passed by over a year ago. Chatted to the guy and he packed in due to ill health or something but all the cars can still be bought if anyone is interested.
Must say some of the signs in the window look fairly recent so maybe he is having a go at clearing out....

Had no idea what an SP2 is so googled it, what an awesome looking car. We're they ever available in the UK?
