Dave_ciw 507 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Bought this off a mate and fellow member Hammer_vr6. Spent today giving it a small detail with products I had from my previous mullberry one! Just awaiting all the new products to arrive and can't wait to get masking n detailing! I knew everything about this motor before purchase so I know she is great! Loved the 2 1/2 hour drive home! Let me know your thoughts. Link to post Share on other sites

Dave_ciw 507 Posted October 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 I'm not allowed mate it was written in the contract lol! Any other one I have had has been a main vehicle and my only vehicle! This is the 3rd in the household now so its my toy! No reason to sell it as I am not squeezing the 3 girls in the back!

HAMMER_VR6 0 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 no the contract states. "cannot sell to anyone other than me buying it back" honestly when i seen it driving off down the street my eyes started to fill up. it looked and sounded lovely. i couldnt sleep all night. looks great in your pics aswell, you just need to fit the pressed plates and replace the front indicators, got water in them. look forwrd to watching your progress Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_ciw 507 Posted October 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Yeah I can't wait for the new plates to arrive! They are still in the van over in Wales. They will be back tonight or tomorrow! I am in two minds now about the Vento front end lol. I may actually keep it! First off will be the wings and get the lips on the BBS rims blinging again!I do love it though everytime you walk down my hallway its just there through the double doors! So it makes me smile when I am not even driving her.I feel your pain welling up I was the same when the green on went! My Mrs and kids cried too lol Link to post Share on other sites

Dave_ciw 507 Posted April 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Little UpdateWell decided to get the rust on the wings sorted and the fitters tried to fit some patent parts and they were shit! So I had them ripped off and we ordered OEM ones and waited! As soon as they arrived the prep was done and they were ready but we decided a full shoot was a better option!This was her outside the bodyshop waiting to be painted and cooked!This is how she was delivered back to me! Waiting all the goodies to be re fitted! Link to post Share on other sites
