Is that the one we're doing the gearbox and cambelt kit on?

Looks very smart, shame it's not a bigger engine ;)

Nice, what would really set that off is a set of smoked side repeaters to replace the orange ones, they would become almost invisible and really suit a dark car  :y


have a look in here for examples

I would disagree with that!

Currently my 3.0 Elite Auto esate (same colour as yours) does about the same mpg as my 2.2!!

At least i know were to come for spare doors now  :) ;D

its reasonable one side has a few scratch marks from where the neighbours kids knocked their scooter/bycle into it but i recon they will polish out.

Both front doors have rust appearing on the bottom corners (noticed it today) as well as the front of the bonnet. other then that there are a couple of small spots else where.

inside is v resonable just need to get some new plastic bits that screw the boot liner in as the dog managed to chew them off! how i dont know???

As far as i know smoked indicator lenses are legal. people pass MOT's with them. Hubby's right about 2.0 being enough for 70mph....but.....it's how quick you get there!!!!!!!!!!! :)

 Hey Marie, tell hubby to drive a 2CV and you keep the Miggy  ;D ;D  :y

Post by: Marie on 12 February 2008, 20:26:19
That is the plan!!!

i promised that when he retires ( in 4yrs time) he can have a 2CV to do up in the garage to stop him going nuts cos he has nothing to do.

then he wont have to drive MY CAR!!!!

 Just lock him in the garage with a 2CV in bits, so her can do a ground up build, should take sometime if you hide a few key parts  ::) ;D ;)
