HOLY REVOLVING SPEEDOS BATMAN ITS A MK1!
HOLY REVOLVING SPEEDOS BATMAN ITS A MK1!
Well guys its home, my very late 1986 D plate £40 Mk1 16TRS auto finished in Silver, undercoat and rust!
To be brutal its been abused for years and coming from london (sorry to you londoners) it has the typical bumps band and scrapes which you cant avoid! And it hasnt eben washed or polished since the 90s it looks!
The front pipe is so rusted it has split in two and sounds like a banger racer, all 4 doors are rusted at the bottom as have the rear wheelarches. Its had a tap on the OSF corner which has bent the wing and busted the headlamp and bent the panel behind (now fixed with spare headlamp and a bit of persuasion with a crowbar!).
On the upside it starts and runs beatifully, everything works and the autobox seems fit and well, the interior although disgustingly FILTHY is complete and in excellent conditon under the dirt, The suspnesions all sound too and its has 2 new tyres. Its very retro with the strip techo and rolling drum speedo and has DIGIT on the ashtray for some reason?. And get this the A posts and innerwings are sound!
SO if theres anyone out there with a silver shortnose bonnet (paint code EVE) which is in good nick please let me know, also I DESPERATLY need a exhaust front pipe for a 1.6 petrol as mines well in 2 bits held up with gaffer tape!
Anyone having any Mk1 spares which they want shut off please also let me know (cavmad!)
