Chrisdevon 9 Posted August 16, 2021 Bought this a few weeks back, Motd and quite pleased to be driving one of these again. Ive managed to fluke one picture over with Mrs help, by resizing it but only one it seems. Still hopefully I will find working under the bonnet of these easier than uploading photos. 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chrisdevon 9 Posted August 17, 2021 Thanks Guys, RJ Well number plate still says Quicks of Ashton. (under Lyne) Slowly worked its way South. Car got a mention on here in 2007 Not much to do under bonnet hopefully, but getting to oil filter, distributor, etc is a joy compared to modern cars.

Chrisdevon 9 Posted August 24, 2021 thanks guys, quite pleased with it. Had one this colour in 1998, ok but not my fav colour. Wheels have been refurbed at some time, I got some stickers off ebay for the black inserts, easier than painting on. Interior is quite good too. There is rust of course but for the money it isn't too bad. I loved driving mk4/5s in the 2000s as a cheap, cool and my favourite car. But now feel a bit more conspicuous, these are very old cars now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
