Roscoe Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 My father in law was given this mk1 from his auntie about 6 years ago. It has done 40,000 miles from new. Not a spot of rust on it. It's been sat in a dry but disused garage for the last 5-6 years. I have now been tasked with getting it road worthy again ready for some summer fun. Anyway here are a couple of photos I got of it tonight while I was removing the battery in hope I could revive it with a charge. 3 Quote
marzman Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) What a beauty. What else needs doing to get it road worthy. Edited February 7, 2015 by marzman Quote
GMballistic Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 That is very cool. Lovely condition from the look's of the pictures too. Never mind getting it ready for the road, ...just needs a 2.0Litre Duratec engine & instant light weight track car.
