looks like a minter!
Loving the wheels.
Even the abundance of doors doesnt do it any harm in my opinion.
Very well bought mate. Looks like a very very clean example If youre drifting it up mind.
Think i'd cry my eyes out if you stripped it irreversibly.
Oh, and welcome to the forum too dude.
Where in the world are you?

thanks,in near gatwick airport.
im gonna keep it a street sleeper drift wagon
i.e drop it(but keep it comfortable so bought springs and landie shocks on back.really nice wide ultalites(red centres)
i have 2 brand new red sparco buckets and willans harnresses to go in and will buy a dished steering wheel,got smoked gauges to go in (oil temp oil press water temp)all on drivers window pillar (do not want to do any chopping around as this really is a minter)
if its not silly money then a hydrolic handbrake too!
the whole idea is keep the concours look just bring it into the drifts scene style.
the steelies that are on it are the standard 20 year old rims!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just polished up lol,this thing really is that good!!!!

REALLY good plan mate.
A lot of nice examples get wasted.
Sounds like youve got your head screwed on properly though!
It'll look stunning with a two inch drop, no doubt.
And minilites 'll really go well man.
Cant wait to see it all done now!
make sure you get plenty of pics dude.

Hi mate and welcome.
You boys on the mainland are so lucky.Finding a minter like that in N.Ireland is like finding rocking horse shit.
Good luck with the car,just don't trash it.
Cheers Mark.

Looks like a nice example. What size wheels you going for?
Make sure you get decent gauges. A mate of mine got some that looked decent off eBay only for them to fail on the way to the nurburgring and him to suddenly find he was out of water and oil!
Luckily he caught it just in time so no damage to the engine was caused.
