For pictures you need to upload to a hosting site (like photobucket) and then copy the IMG link and paste it/them into the message text here.

Both of these are very unusual for a lude... :?

Hi

It has spent most of its life near the sea (looks like it has been in it, by the state of the brackets etc!), but the non rusty parts are super clean and the shell has never been in a big shunt, original fasteners / paint etc. the bonnet is a result of a life of motorways and no touching up of the chips.

As a result of this, I will be offering it for sale as a complete 'spares' package, for a minimum of £300 or I'll break it. I'll write an ad on this site with all the rusty bits and detailed description, it'll be on for a couple of weeks, then an eBay ad, before it gets completely stripped, the shell will then be scrapped.

I really wanted to save it, but I'm looking at pumping at least £1000 in to it, which if I had it, I wouldn't hesitate, but being skint... :(

Cheers for all your help, I'll stay on the forum to help where I can until I can afford either this spec 4G again or a red top 5G.

Mark

No problem. Shame it's not worth saving but they can't all be, that's for sure
