Title: Mrs is not going to be happy
Post by: Sam Burton on 14 July 2012, 17:21:29
Ive just aquired this its a 2002 Elite Estate Granted its not the tidiest in the world but it will be once ive sorted the bodywork out its been in storage over 2 years brand new turbo, intercooler and egr valve and never been worn in as they were replaced and then the car went into storage,

The car use to be Nocturno Blue but had a full Body professional respray into what ever colour black this is as the first owners were a Funeral Directors and this had to fit into the fleet, hence the repsray that was late 2002 they had it on private plates untill late 2008 and the owned by the current owner since, but now its been provisionally sold to moi  :) NEW PROJECT  :y :y :y :) :) :D :D

Heres some piccys
As you can see passanger side rear door has had a fight with a metal post before storage

Okay mate got all the Silver centre console done now just need to get those door trims done now, Went to pick those MV6 srpings up but unfortunatly one of the rear ones was knackered so i just brought two standard springs just to get the car to normal height again, i just need to find some spring compressors but ive had a quote for £70 to fit the new ones anyway so i might just do that  ::) But hopefully i can get the boost issue sorted on this old girl so i can take mine off the road so i can have a strong Fresh engine .. again :)  :y Hows your 3.2?
