Looking good, I had a sunburst 3i on a Y reg.
Loved that car.

Op we only know as much as you do sadly.
Nice to see the cars still going.

[Blue Mikey]

Nice to see it alive!

It might be a sensitive subject and you may not want to say, but I bet you paid a smidge more for it than the £100 the OP did.

[Spencerw9t9]

Haha yes, just a smidge more. I paid 3.5k for this £500 car lol. Prices are ridiculous now but i wanted to own one again, so i had to accept it.
I wanted it because i had one as my first car back in 2001, it was immaculate and i struggled to get £500 for it a year or so later.

[Spencerw9t9]

This was it a couple of months back when i bought it from a guy in Dartford.
Note the AA sticker in the windscreen, another reason I’m pretty sure it’s the same car.

It was still in remarkable condition really for a 38 year old car. All original paint except the osf wing and door! The only welding required was the same as the original post plus a small repair on the drivers floor pan. I also had to weld up all of the holes drilled to fit the silly bodykit haha!

[Spencerw9t9]

I got the satin black done on the doors and tailgate today.

[sortedcossie]

Keep the updates coming!

[Spencerw9t9]

Slowly getting there now. Just gotta sort out the mechanicals.

[Spencerw9t9]

Got plenty of new parts to spruce it up!

Very nice

[Down and out]

Ah, memories.. £800 quid I bought one for back in the 90s.

[StuntmanMike]

OP, that looks amazing.

Don’t sweat the purchase price, that baby is only going up in value.
