The way the price is going on that I think you`ll need to sell your flat, never mind the Triumph!

Ive been told the drivers door hinge has come away from the a pillar, and then been welded badly, is it a big job to fix? As its taken the shine off it a bit!

removed from sale today, is that a good sign Tim or has it sold elsewhere. Never seen the bit about advert elsewhere.

Shes all mine guys I get her back tomorrow, not in as bad state as I feared! Needs the bumpers painting, a good clean but thats about it! Im so happy!!!

This time we arent parting company!

However it means I have a 19TZS Auto which needs a new owner, I paid £25 for it as you all know, it needs the front bumper sorting and 2 flexi hoses for the MOT (expired) and a seatbelt anchorage (supplied)

On the plus side it has no rust, inside or out only done 75k and runs very well the suspensions so soft too! and has a sunroof deflector Its mucky though! If someone want to give me what I paid for it then its yours, I will even help you shift it if needs be.

But its not going for spares as its FAR too good for that, Cavmad? anygood?

well done tim, another saved and going back home is a bonus as well.

Yes, well done Tim. Glad you`re getting it back and I know you`ll care for it so nice one!
I would take your old car off but storage is against me and it would end up going for spares rather than being saved which would probably be a shame. I`ve got to the point here where cars are being crushed now for the sake of simple repairs as it`s becoming uneconomic to repair them now, though I always try and save BX`s. It`s more modern stuff that I`ve been getting crushed recently. There`s an `M` reg Omega automatic estate going soon-MOT`d and everything but if the potential buyer hasn`t showed by Friday latest it`ll be another car lost forever.
It`s actually worse for bigger cars because the scrap price is good at the moment.

Anyhow as I say well done on landing the 16V, I shall look forward to seeing that especially when it`s done. Hopefully sometime late tomorrow I`ll have one myself to go with the one in my lock up.

OK cavmad thanks, so the offers open to the forum, anyone want this 19TZS? Its motable for a cost of £20 for the flexis and a hour or so of work!

Any interested parties let me know please.

Thanks
