Nose view what is the score with the numberplate is it worth moving to get better airflow?


When I said electrics are hanging I meant it


Interior is a bit rough but some trimming should fix it, going for a quote later.


Wheels are vw passat I think either way they are completely the wrong size and this will be one of the first things to change.

Still I have driven to and from work and no overheating despite the fact that it is over 40 deg C outside, fans switching on and off fine, aircon works as well now just have to get window fixed - bit hot at the mo

Well all I can say is If I found one like it for 6Kn in the uk I'd tear the sellers arm off! You should find a few more & import them

Well if it is not over heating even at 40c then it sounds like you may be OK. If i saw that car in the Uk for 6 grand, have to be rhd though, I would snap it up.

To be honest I have spent that on mine in just under a year (£6k) so you should be able to create a great car from what you have.

Still think you are a raving nutter though, but I guess we all are.

Will,
I work here, and am based in Sharjah. I do a 5/5 rotation and am here until the end of the month.
Are you living in Dubai itself?
Never thought i'd see a Trev in these parts!
