So the list of "to do" is growing.

 

Needs a radiator, a starter and fly wheel, and a general tidy up, I discovered more today..........

 

Battery is flat, so I don't bother locking it - not like it can be driven off anyway!

 

Last few weeks I have noticed the rear spoiler "bubbles" getting worse due to the frost etc - today opened the boot and nearly drowned with all the water coming out of the tailgate.

 

Needs a major service - although I know the engine was replaced just before I got it, I don't know the guy bothered to change the timing belt.

 

It was a mates who was going back to the UK when the rad blew, and I bought it for beer money, literaly.

 

Its a SWB NA manual slick, grey leather seats, minging tweed interior.

 

Body work is ok, and it runs ok (takes a few goes due to the starter, but she starts)

 

Given that I got it for pennies, I need some help as to what to do with it.

 

Options are; fix it up, keeping it semi-original?

do it up with aftermarket/performance parts and a bit of bling?

get it running and rag the tits off it untill it dies on the track?

break it and sell the parts?

 

I dunno how to do the link, but you can check it out in the rides section.

 

Just looking for opinions - thanks in advance.

Get it fixed. All the items /jobs you need doing are relatively cheap.

s/h Starter

s/h flywheel

s/h rad or cheap new one

Remove soggy spoiler. fit cheap plain perspex strip(£40) or just fill it in with filler.

Run it a bit to see if you like it.

If so... do some mods.

If not then sell it. If it is a LHD US model it will sell over in Europe. If its a J spec RHD car then drive it over here to sell it
