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.

whyt send it for a full spray matey?? you could have the car looking stunning again with a good quality machine polish and save your self a Shed load of cash!!
i know of a guy who has moved out to NZ who is very good on the machine polisher! (just started at a car restoration place)
not sure where abouts he is but can find out for you!!

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!!!

hmmmm add says 145,000 Km's as the clocks are in MPH I would say thats 145,000 miles?
Just a thought.Very nice car all the same.

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.
