Cheers, it only in Stanton for the work. It will be based at Hatton when complete. Looking forward to having her back on road. I did get a quite interesting call about the flyer that was posted.

Excellent

I remember seeing it around Burton a few years ago. Noticed its running on its spare steel wheel, do you need an Alloy?

Interesting call in what way?

Well thanks anyway, was on this site when I first bought her. But circumstances meant she been off the road. Will definitely drop up your way when she back on the road. Might need some advice about her.

I will do had some help here before, I think it mechanically fairly sound, just wanna keep her that way. Cheers for your input. Good to contact other owners. Will be looking for bits and bobs for friends 16v in Ireland. Not easy to find, to many destroyed by muppets.
