OEV11V The Fun Begins!!!

[jayorme]

Hi Everyone!

After purchasing my Rs2k at the beginning of the Month the day has finally come and my RS (Feeling very sorry for itself) has Just been Delivered!!

Over the next few weeks/months/years! I'll be keeping a log of the resto on here. May also need to ask you guys for advice when I run in to my first of many problems. :-)

Need to go and fit a fireplace for the mrs now to keep her sweet and then I'm free to start the car!

Cheers
Jay

dont we all, but I'm lucky; she loves driving it just as much as I do. She even takes her friends home in it if I have the car out. Bless, last drop of for her friends I hear a little scream as Julie floored it ... hehehe

Cheers guys for the encouragement.
Managed to strip the interior out of the car last night and remove the nose cone. Cars very low so over the years has damaged the original (need to look tomorrow to see what shocks are on it!). When I bought the car the guy threw in a spare which he tells me is from a merseyside police rs2000 (not sure if true or not but its mint). Another bonus is I went out with my brother in law to be (I get married in July) and found out before he became a HGV1 driver he had 5 years in the welding trade! Things just get better :-) will add new pics tomorrow,

Cheers
Jay
