This popped up on my facebook from 5 years ago. Happy memories of breakdowns past when it was chuffing out steam like Thomas the Tank engine in M8 rush hour traffic on a section with no hard shoulder. GR8tymz

I had a rough one of these about 15 years ago I swapped for a P reg Rover 820i with 170,000 miles on it. It was still much better than this 6 grand one. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-Celica-Supra-2-8i-Manual/184495896129?hash=item2af4cff641:g:zcYAAOSwpBJfjewU

I wouldn't sleep at night worrying about sleeping at night in this. Not sure what will kill you first the fall or when the rope gets wrapped around your neck. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Bedford-Horsebox-lorry-glamping-pod/164453559606

see this panel here it is on my car. It has the consistency of a chocolate digestive Trying to get the bottom arm off and 200,000 miles of driving on salted roads has rusted and or rounded everything off. GR8

The parts prices put me off a bit. The manual roof could be a blessing just be careful the frame isn't twisted. When putting the Z4 roof up manually as there's no handle it was easy to get the top out of shape. It's mot'd and runs, which is a lot more than can be said for similar boxsters in this price range.

I went to see a convertible TT earlier in the year as the advert suckered me in due to it's genuine baseball glove interior. It was utterly hanging with rust. The sills, boot lid and arches all absolutely hanging with rust. They wanted £1600 quid for it and had just spent a grand putting it through it's MOT. I wouldn't have bothered and just flogged off the interior. The design has aged well though.

Look at that dash https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1959-Borgward-Isabella-Combi/324337151960?hash=item4b84002fd8:g:YCoAAOSw1zVfigaD

It’s not that hard to get it through it’s mot if there’s no holes and it’s all sealed up . they’ve only got that little toffee hammer to hit it with. My cortina looked super clean when I bought it but it was hiding rust, that’s just what they do .

Is that paint dry? No. when will I ever learn?
