That's what it's all about cutting a deal well I'm in Helensburgh with trolley jack a torch ready to go once I've done my inspection and had a drive of it checked all paperwork and relevant docs then I will go home and let him stew for a bit speak to the BOSS(aka the wife) then let him know .

Remember arches rust from the inside out

That was worth the 4 hour drive to see the terzo jacked it up check all 4 arches all solid on the inside , front bumper needs a full respray and its already cut for a FMIC that's a bonus , the back arches just need treated and resprayed as its surface rust , engine is so quiet , full decat hks system , 3 gauges fitted with centre pod but need to be wired up , took it for a test drive oh yes liked that part it can shift , 2 folders full of paperwork and receipts , underneath is all good so I gave him an offer in cash due to the work that needs done which is cosmetic he's going to think about it and get back to me and I think he will take the offer so watch this space .

Sounds promising.

Don't mean to worry you but are you sure the gauges haven't been disconnected for a reason, could the owner be hiding oil pressure or boost issues?

Done one on my last week and it came back at £1800 (IIRC), they then phoned me on Monday and asked if I wanted to complete on the deal........I'll leave you to think of what was going through my mind, although not coming out of my mouth in the reply.

I know what you were thinking Scott .

Well going back to Helensburgh today to pick up the terzo and I managed to get £500 off the asking price , looks like I will need to buy another tax disc holder if Steve has any left , already sourced a classic bonnet scoop and bonnet vents in the same colour off a fellow member on Scottish scoobies who owns a terzo so tomorrow looking forward to the drive back then start stripping mine to put on the terzo then get rid of my silver classic .

Nice one Scotty - still got tax disc holders and stickers in stock (although getting low on stickers, only about 10 left)

Still got my stickers I will order another tax disc holder when I get home tonight .

Well done matey.

Another blue scooby to the club looking forward to getting the bits done to it will be posting pics up once cleaned with before and after pics of my progress .

Nice one! :ok:

And vulture mode ..... I cant remember if the silver one had a pre-facelift or facelift bonnet?

Don't what I'm going do with my old classic once I'm finished with but it's in 406 silver and the bonnet is facelift nick .

Well had a nice drive got a few issues to sort interior light not working and the central locking not working so hopefully a fuze or the relay so I will do that tomorrow when I finish work and wife likes the car and the big bonnet scoop so I think that will be staying on .

Don't need alloys riidaa thanks anyway and not my cup of tea .
