I NO I CANT HELP MYSELF :crazy:

 

As you no I brought davids two tone se from him a few weeks ago and its now gone to a good home .well while I was tinkering with that one this one became available through the classifieds

The story was it belonged to the guys father and it was his pride and joy for over ten years and he sadly passed away :sad:

 

This model is the 88 spec mfi two tone special edition x3i crystal blue over strato silver with blue Daytona fabric trim seats it is very standard like it came from the showroom still with the dogleg alloy wheels

the only thing that needs changing is the hood from black to blue toned vinyl which is going to be done

heres a few pics

Nice one Ollie,

 

I saw that car too and thought hope it goes to someone that will maintain it and not let it go to waste given it was the fathers pride and joy.

 

Glad you've taken ownership of it.

It was on for a good price too.

Yeah Daytona interior

Small repair on the drivers base so been on the lookout for set of fronts

Notice the headrests are different in the pic

There was a set in Ellesmere Port but pick up only . Managed to get a set of headrests for it last week

There is a rear set on eBay for sale from speedshack but they won't send them via courier :-(

May have to just get him to take the material off and send it lol

Few pics of the cabriolet having some work done

was very please when all the bumpers and trim came off to see no rot in the usual places . took the screen out and all good there too :>)

the only thing I have left on is the side strips as I tried a few different ways on another cabby and was to much hard work as hard as I tried it just wouldn't come of without bending the strip :>(
