lurcho69 Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 This is my old car I originally restored it back from well breakers yard about 6-7 years ago. d2 coilovers full underside overhaul to which i was able to polish it was so clean.fabricated the intercooler and pipework. Has it still got my battery box in the boot?? Due to buying house I had to sell my baby then I found it just after I sold it to lad in Scotland and it was devastating to see he had not kept up his end of the bargain to look after my car. I have loads of history and pictures still. Mark clifford 07514414789. Please give this car life it deserves and can I buy it back when your finished. Quote
