Guest Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 The situation is that I do have a few cars, but I value the Charmant and Mira far too much to take them to the office in dodgy Castleford, the Cuore is to be sold, the 323 Wagon isn't quite ready yet and the current daily Galant has an MOT creeping up on it for which it will require a reasonable amount of work. Willing to get the work done, but it could do with a bit of a holiday on SORN as I'd like to renew some of the suspension/steering parts anyway.So it sort of makes sense to have a freshly-MOTed 626 take over my driving to work/illegal minicabbing duties in the meantime. It absolutely slaughters the Galant in terms of spec - 2.0 engine, 5-speed box, cassette deck, full electric windows and best of all - blue velour seats. All the rust fixing work has been done and it drives nice, just needs an MOT and it'll be ready to roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Black one is lovely but not original. The kit it has is from the later facelifted ones, late 'D' reg onwards.Mind you the 1,8 engine and the gearbox they came with are funking fantastic.

mouseflakes Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 On RR at the mo' - gert cheap! ....or on AutoTrader - twice the price but cheaper to run - and it's manual.

Albert Ross Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Take a look at the rear light units. No reverse lamp section, as it was in the numberplate surround. Carried over to the Frog Face from 1995. Lamp profile virtually identical to Sierra estates, and would probably go in no problem, and look great!

Adrian_pt Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Not ebay, but definitely tat, and definitely for the complete nutters out there. Mate of mine (guy I bought the Volga off) is selling his Fiat 1500C, more or less mint from the pics. So if anyone wants to come to north Romania and pick it up, his latest price is 1600 Euro, probably worth haggling on it though, especially as he started off asking for 2500...http://fiat.3xforum.ro/post/1207/1/vand_fiat_1500C/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
