She is mine!!! now I just need to name her.
There is a couple of things that need sorting out but she is pretty straight, bodywork isn't too bad and the interior is absolutely immaculate.

Best of all... 100% stock and unmolested!
I guess I'll be getting a build thread started soon! Happy Easter LG.

0% rust but to me that's normal out here (and we take it for granted) as soon as a UK car comes into the garage you know straight away just buy looking underneath.

Very happy for you Tom ... it really does look like a sweetheart. Now the important stuff, the name and sorting out just what she needs to be the best she can be.
Pictures and what, if anything, you plan to do to her .... can't wait for a full set of photos!!!

Thanks guys. Now I've got a bit of cash saved up after buying the car I can look at doing a major service, fixing a few leaking gaskets, painting the valve cover and getting some fresh rubber in the near future.

Question time! Any reccomendations on websites to get standard service parts for 'Ludes?

Plans for the car short term... New summer sport tyres, koni yellows (-20mm) on OEM height springs (replacements), thicker rear sway bar, perhaps a master polybush set.

After I've got the car nailed to the ground

I'd like a lip kit (motegi?) or at least the front lip, flush or mid spoiler, extra front fogs (the ones that go underneath the standards)... The list goes on.
I'll keep you all posted! Hasta luego y buen fin de semana a todos!
