Well i have gone and done it again, i have brought a car that has got me thinking of a different project....
The story goes like this...
I wanted to put a 16v engine in the silver ph1, Mr White (nice chap) happened to put his 5 up for sale which happened to have the 16v engine with all the correct bits & at a very good price as it was an mot failure...
The plan was buy the car for the engine, sell the wheels and other nice bits and hopefully have a free engine...
How ever the when i have seen the car in the flesh, it looks to nice to be broken, but does require work ( inner boot both sides needs replacing), not exactly a huge job, but the areas of the paint could do with some saving... But is a honest 5, not mint, perfect for fast road & track once the welding is done...
I also planned on selling the wheels, but there mint, all straight minimal curbing, one has very slight blemish in the gold paint... These wheels would look the nuts on the silver 5...
Charlotte is gonna kill me when she gets home..
Anyway a quick pic of the old girl at home after a nice tow home
