I won this cheeky chappy on eBay...
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300899739413?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
...and will be collecting the car tomorrow.
A bit of a shed but there's potential. Clean the crap off, fix any issues and give the car a fresh M.O.T just in time for Summer and hopefully a small profit. According to "How many left" there are a hundred and twenty eight on the road and thirty four declared SORN so the future classics market is well within my cross hairs. If not sell it to a student who will ruin it all over again. With second hand roofs selling for £100 and the wheels are worth £50 I can't lose, can I?
The plan was to collect the car today but the rescue will have to wait until I can get a recovery dolly to pick the car up. My mate with a van (Kev and the van of death) said it wouldn't be a problem but the chap who owns the towing frame has lent it out to someone and forgotten who. :silly:
the car needs a new radiator and fan switch I have both of these ready to fit and get the car home but I'm a one man army and can't drive two cars home.
Kev's off to work for six so there isn't enough time and I'm back at work tomorrow. Tuesday's transition day (Monday day shift, Tuesday night shift) so I'll see if I can collect the car in the morning and have a nap in the afternoon (or do my usual twenty six hour transition day).
