yay the 88s
well to be honest i am going to give her a service and then try and get her to the best of my ability immaculate... i keep changing my mind about what i want to do with her so im just going to try and keep her clean and tidy for now and probably try and find another front lip... really peed me off... its the one thing i bought for it and had it on for one day and gone...

Difficult to tell from photo's but the car doesn't look too bad.  Rust in the usual areas.  Looks like the wheels have been painted?  Mine's had its share of welding down below - par for the course unfortunately!  What's the interior like?  Decent replacement trim is diffcult to find - largely as whatever you're buying has come off another car and is 30 yrs old.  Electrics can be interesting particularly if its been sat around unused.

I've had mine for many years so if you need any help/guidance then feel free to ask.

Good luck with it and look forward to seeing another EGI on the road.

Cheers

really weird the lip went first day of ownership....you sure it was on when you picked up? and not taken off after you agreed to buy....? id being doing some sluething about the area as well...just seems very strange...

Little bit on the bonnest and a bit on the drivers side bumper... looks like a hole in rear drivers wheel arch underneath if that makes sense and as per a rusty sunroof.. yea wheels look like some one has just sprayed over the original paint with out prepping them :/ other than that the wireing looks bad but everthing seems to work... brakes are spongey so im guessing i might have a bit of air trapped...

I bought it as its the only one i had seen cheap for a long time... before i got the car..see its my dream car and i had been buying little bits and bobs... i didnt even get a picture of it with it on which annoyed me abit too.. but i dont know any one that has a fc around here.. cctv didnt pick them up either so they either crawled passed the cars to get it off or they are magic... guess it means im £100 down but i dont think it will be easy finding another one..think ill sort the welding out beforw i buy anything again..
