Re-visiting my youth. (Car content)
Having had this for 5 years now I thought it was time to put it back on the road. Had the rear wheel arches done and painted down the sides only. Nova SR/Sport interior fitted and also a set of Compomotive wheels, I think it turned out ok! Sport engine with twin Webbers is waiting to be fitted as well. I am the third owner and it has only covered 54k from new.

Very cool!
I was out car shopping again myself, but I'm going a different way! 😂 I wouldn't mind a little basic stick racer though. And those are some interesting wheels for sure!

Looks like that could bring back memories. My first car was a 97 Taurus, then I got a 99 Range Rover HSE after a year or two.

Yeaaaahhhh! Nice!!
I remember when I was very young and was in England. My uncle's neighbour had the escort MK 1 and I was completely in love with it!! Oh! Thanks for the memories!! My granddad had the Vauxhall Victor in gold!! "If you're not having fun you're doing something wrong". Groucho Marx. |
