How much to polish the wheels like yours Ian? I think they look great

To be fair, the one in the avatar is the best one on the car.
David has just had his recut at Pristine and they look superb....
I think that you are looking at around 50 quid a wheel for a top notch professional refurb like Pristine do.

I think it will be touch and go for poor EPH.
I\'ll put him in scrap pile for the moment me\'thinks.

Spare 13B engine with him might pull the vulture crew??? A tasty morsel?

Got \'em all....Smug, Smug.......:rollin
Auction Records \'eh? They\'re really handy.

The Green S3 on the list KPB is almost certainly a survivor as it was sold last in 2009 and carries an Export marker on DVLA.
Apart from that one, and the top car on the list (SORN) I think the rest may possibly be gonners .....or maybe barn finds in a year or two?

Yeh, but we know stuff don\'t we, like unless the storage is ideal, the top will stay smart but the underside will really go badly....He says he\'s waxoiled before storing though.....Is it mildew on the gear lever surround? I hope not. Bad Sign if it is.

I think the sellers got a rose tinted view of this car...
I wonder what his reserve is?
The interior looks mildew covered which means damp which means rot, dodgy electrics, bad trim / seats / carpets...
and is that underseal on the heatshields & tank?
I wouldn\'t want it for free.
