got fed up of throwing money at my 2i just to keep it running so swapd it for this a 2.9 v6 xr4x4 needs a little work but its basicly a good car, only a few surface rust spots (rare on a car of this vintage)
we dont need 2 cars so the wifes rs1800 is going to be used every day and this is going to be for weekends and shows.

[quote="sinjon] i probably will eventualy but for now just going to make it look a bit better by painting it, i intend to get a trailer so i can get rid of the scrap yard in the back garden will probably remove the tow bar after that, they do ruin the look af cars dont they? [/quote]

Yea, they only really look good on landrovers!

Trailers are useful for clearing junk tho, so its a good plan getting one first and clearing before you remove it!
