Nearly back in circulation.

Post by mac »

Afternoon all!

The bearded old fart is nearly back in circulation, with most of the family bureaucracy now completed. Just loose ends now.

Not 300s I know, but I've managed to give the 900 a treat.

The treat installed - spares car alongside.

The treat - work in progress.

The spares car (95 2.3SE Estate) has been bought to provide a factory air con set-up to replace the aftermarket kit that the barge has fitted. It has a 2.3 non turbo lump if anybody wants it. I want the air con and wheels and a few bits but the rest is up for grabs.

Oh! and just to be reeeeeealy pissy - I've gone and bought an '04' C70 2.4t (the 200 brake, not the T5) convertible in metallic saphire with tan leather (bloody showoff) - perhaps the VOC will like me now!!

All the best to everybody - Mac.

Top work Mac, so clean I could eat my dinner off of that too!

Good to see you back mate, you've been missed.

And a C70 convertible, nice bit of luxury mate, shame it's FWD though!

Mornin all, Many thanks for all your welcome backs !!

Answers etc.

1. Steve - into your 360? - bog off!

2. Foggy - if it's a car you want - a non starter I'm afraid, by the time I finish it will be a shell. I bought it for the wheels, air con, roof rails, brakes and suspension (to refurbish) and the odd bits of trim. shell has accident damage to rear n/s (quite repairable but really not worth it) Don't want eng/g/box though 2.3/n/asp/auto.

3. V/sport - auto (AW71), 83 (B230FD - egr+pulsair), Havn't been under it yet - can let you know axle code when I have.

Cheers for now - Mac
