DodgyBastard Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 The car drives reasonably well, just had the carb stripped, cleaned and rebuilt with new gaskets as well as a service including plugs, leads, rotor arm and distributor cap.The bodywork is average, there's a dent in the rear and the wheel arches are scabby but solid. It's had welding to the sills and front valance but overall it's solid if a little on the scruffy side.

cpjitservices Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 This brings back memories of the beige coloured one my old man had, I must of been about 8 at the time. The sound of the alternator squeal put him off. Fine example you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
