Hi all just thought i\'d post some pic\'s of the new project/scrapper.. undecided untill i pull some panels off till then she\'s in limbo.. and that series 2 had to come up 1 day after picking up this one:(
 
OMG the journey was a nightmare, missed a connecting train at paddington, by 10 seconds and the national rail bloke saw me coming and closed the door anyway, so there goes another 3 hours to the trip left house at 7.30am and arrived at far west wales at 5pm all the while sweating on the fact my wife is only 3 weeks from full term.
so thankfully the car was as described (especially as there was no way i could make all the connecting trains home that night) so after the deal was done i started the journey, at least this journey went well she feels very tight mechanically and behaved beautifully.
think there is a few extra bits on her than the previous owner knew feels very responsive for a car with 88000 odd miles on the engine.. will have to make space in the garage asap to find out i guess anyways enough of my waffling here are some pic\'s..

Good luck, lets hope it stays on the road..................I much prefer the ser 3 to the ser 2, just for the interior and wheels alone.

It looks straight enough from the top Mick, lets hope it\'s ok underneath.

I wouldn\'t get too depressed about that series 2 car.... at least yours is a T&T runner.
That S2 looks like a tired old thing to me.

i get the preference for the wheels man but the interior?? personally i find the series 2 a bit sharper especially in full black.. looking forward to having to learn upholstery to get this one to the colour i want..

Sorry just noticed yours is wine, black is the way to go, its just I don\'t like striped interiors, still if we all liked the same things what would happen to the ugly birds...........

what\'s wrong with an ugly bird??

1980\'s plush.......that\'s all.

the wine coloured interior is of its time but I quite like it.
My white series 3 had it and it looked class. ( back in 1989!)
The only thing is that if you change the colour of the bodywork, there\'s not a lot that goes with it.

\'Twas on the \'Other Site\' Stu.
It came from out the depths of Wales like Llewelyn.....There\'s a name for him Mick!

So what\'s that? 300/350 mile trip for starters, surrounded by wine velour, behaving beautifully. Good little car I say.
