Sorry aboutthe photos but its in the garage @ my dads place as i have no room for it! Its been fully strengthened and new panels front, rear, new bonnet and all blemishes removed from the body. De locked and fully waxy oiled inside and out. All parts are there to finish including a set of Series 1 alloys. New bumpers, lights and loads of other new parts. Anything that needed replaced, was! | |

fully strengthened - you mean seem welded? and can you advise which new panels and why they were done - was it smashed or just rotten, thanks

Its a 16 Ghia in the book but when i bought it there was a turbo engine in it which was modified heavily. That blew up though so i just bought a real good 16 EFI engine with low miles for it. When i say strenghtened i mean that any bits of the chassis etc that wouldnt pass MOT were patched and replaced. The car will last another 30 years as after the work was done it was fully coated in seam sealer and anti rust protector. The panels replaced were both front wings, front panel, rear panel and the bonnet. These were done as they were either rusted or dented and i wanted them done properly so that it wouldnt rust again in a few years. The only things not standard about the car are the engine and the interior. I have a mint interior and dash from a MK4 XR3i to go in as the o.e interior was ripped and i wanted it to be a clean car, i would sell the shell and bits without these though as they arent completely original. | |
