ahh what a car this was, loved this 25 quid heap to bits. Got more than my money's worth out of it.
It eventually had to go when the autobox was playing silly buggers in 4th gear and the rust was to extensive. Oh how I loved it.
Pics are big so you can appreciate the beast.
Well the dream ended a good few months back, its still in the scrappies stripped of a few things but the interior is still mint.
I had to put work into that car, it was rather nice. Soneji drove it a few times as did Rustyarchs. |

Lol those were the days mofo!
It was huge, must have fallen out of a plane from the Congo!
Me driving and hanging out the sunroof at 85mph with you steering was a laugh. Then Emma driving and trying to bounce it off every barrier along the way! |

Yeah lol, was some size of sunroof on that beast.
The modded airbox on it was a good mod, before I modded it you could see the airbox collapsing on itself!
Got it on 3 wheels a few times, also the back end would always slide out to the left when brakign hard. |

the lack of bias wasn't a prob cos the fronts locked before the rears anyway, unless it was wet etc.
It was the way it kicked out to the left everytime even when the camber of the road sloped so it should have went right.
Was a laugh with your clio chasing it though, especially comign up to that rounabout. lol those were the days. |
