• Another one... 1982 343...

Just been working on the new 300 I've bought today (m4rtin's old car)... hasn't been driven for a while and needed a new radiator and the tyres were crap. So with some decent 14" tyres I had to put the GLT wheels on really that I bought from Hugh last year...

So the radiator is all in... seems to be running fine, and it'll be MOT time shortly. Here's a few pics

Phase 1 mk2 eh? the best of the 340's.

Shame it's in a 'runny poo' colour.....

Nice Steve

Beautiful Steve - and a hatchback this time!

And I quite like the runny poo colour to be honest

So this is long awaited 343, very nice dude.

Like the rims on it, shame the centre caps aren't on it though

Any future plans for it?

Manage to get rid of the 940?

Yeah, I'm respraying the centre caps and putting new badges on them - and they're not finished yet

Plans so far are to get it back on the road, MOT'd and test out it's reliability, other than that it's most likely to be my daily driver. Got a Mk2 GLT spoiler and GLT front splitter to fit too.

Still using the 940 as my daily driver... 360 downpipe turned out to be faulty (leaking around the 2-1 join/weld - wtf?!), so it needs another one and the supplier is getting another in at the moment.

Very nice-wanna sell it?

Aaaah, a MkII "343", that brings back memories ...

Looks a 1000x better than my old one ever did, that turned from shiny red, to reddish brown, to flaky brown in a very short space of time

It's actually really nice to drive other than the obvious brake issues - smooth and quiet suprisingly... seems to be a little perkier after a mild italian tune up and some super unleaded
