  • Country United Kingdom
  • Color Graphite Grey
  • Year 1986
  • Short Description World's slowest project! Bought it in 2005 as a summer project while at uni, having been off the road since 2003. Unfortunately never got enough time to spend on it and has been parked in the garage and on brother-in-law's drive ever since, only getting the odd job done every now and again as it's a 75mile round trip to work on it.
  • Car Type / Usage Car currently off the road
  • Engine & Gearbox Standard engine & box. 87k miles but smokey and in need of work.
  • Suspension & Steering Standard ride height, polyethene wishbone bushes recently fitted
  • Brakes Standard, all new parts inc stainless braided hoses waiting to be fitted
  • Wheels & Tyres Came with 1.9 wheels, but 1.6 wheels purchased if i decide to go for the full standard look.
  • Bodywork & Exterior Phase 1.5 half leather seats fitted. Clear indicators were fitted but I've since re-fitted the original orange ones.
  • Interior & ICE Front speakers need re-fitting. Currently has original/period radio cassette in the car but needs some wiring sorting.
  • Comments & Plans Move it to closer storage location. Possible engine strip & re-build. Treatment of rust infront of rear wheels & re-spray the of the area.
    General tidying & get it back on the road
