Would rather be driving ONE 16v,than fixng TWO.
Now mine!!!
Bought her this afternoon-its a 2.5hr hike to pick her up, but owner is driving 2.5hrs so we meet in the middle. Got her for $2K, and she will promptly head to the paint shop for a full respray. Gonna keep her factory fresh, and go nuts on my other toy.

hey timmo-let me know the dudes details!!!!!I havent seen the car in the flesh yet, but like you fellas, am optimistic its just the paint faded in different ways on the varying substrates-plastic, fibreglass and galc metal. Fingers crossed. Will definitely have to sort the home-job repair on the front wing grrrrr.will keep everyone posted-i really want her mint-the other one can be my modification toy!!!

well its mine now....
well its paint is farked-i was hoping as much as all of you(timmo) that it was just a substrate issue, but no. Some monkey has had a hoon on most panels-i know Venetian Red,and none of it is that colour any more! A bit of cutting will sort a bit of it, but it needs fibreglass repairs on the bumpers anyway.
SO, am off to paintshop tomorrow, and ave a set of 16in alloys getting powdercoated factory grey with polished lip etc, should look mint. Interior is great, needs a carphone removed, got a new parcel shelf, but crikey it goes well-averaged 70mph most of the way home from buying it.Funny thing, when i got in it,i tried startin it.....nothing.And the guy i bought it off leapt under it, fiddled the starter, and presto!He says it it did it to him ONCE when he bought it from the previous owner, and never did it again-yesterday was the first time it had done it since.So the old girl just gave me a nudge, reminding of who was boss!!!Love it tho, cant wait to get her mint.
