There are the pics of my pride and joy a found this one hidden away in a garage in cornwall, hasnt been on the road for 6 years but when we drove it home it drove as if it was brand new i was so pleased!!! it has slight rust on wheel arches, and sills but by the looks of it nothing major. it still has all the original interior and has had a 2.0 pinto put in it in 1999 but has only done 57,000 miles from new. im so excited about geting it and cant wait til im driving around in it only problem is that i should have fun when i put myself on the insurance as i am only 17.

So what do u all think?

Looks tidy to me, Well done. Like you say, Fun will start with the insurance. Could try the RSOC and see what they say. Has had new strut tops on at one point but looks quite a decent job. All you need now is to put the original strengthening plates back on. (See Mr Custom for these) Has some goodies therer as well. Vernier,Kenlowe,Luminition. Have fun, Kev.

Cheers for the advice with the insurance, i know about the car needing the top mounts, do you know how much i would expect to pay for a stamped set?
