Starletson Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 Hi from Bristol! Family owned since 2004 ish. 173k and about to have heart transplant, standard 4efe. Bit ruff around the edges but will be sorted. Standard except vogtland springs and is200 steering wheel and 185/55 tyres. Will get some 195/45 after wheel refurbished. TTE backbox and spoiler Quote
burty Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 Hi look forward to the updates get some decals on her looks lovely  Quote
Starletson Posted August 2, 2020 Author Posted August 2, 2020 Shes got some paint issues, looks ok from about 12ft 😉 few spots of rust. The donor is my mums 98 solida. Swapped the center console, gear gaitor, door locks, cig lighter etc. Bought some rear seat side panels as the tops were dry and sun damaged, kids had drawn on them aswell 🙄 I did swap the interior with hers for the blue which looked good but the driver seat sides had collapsed and it was 5dr so not able to use door card trims. Needs a new driver seat, or patching up as the side has split about 2-3 inches. New fuel tank as original was weaping. Engine going in Wednesday hopefully 🤞 Quote

Starletson Posted August 2, 2020 Author Posted August 2, 2020 I got an is200 wheel for £10 from brakers, the 2 originals I have crumble so this will do for the minute. Quote
