stevie_m is on a distinguished road
Default stevie_m progress... Or lack of it.

Tonight I bought a X reg VTR Two Tone 98bhp

78,200 miles showing

The inside of the car looks clean and tidy but needs a new gaiter and gear knob (current is wobbily... already got replacements)

Noticed that the radiator is goosed ... luckily got it home without any warning lights or overheating showing on the dash.
Was also lucky that is was freezing tonight so hopefully no damage has been done to the head... damage was done ... but fixed now.

But that didn't stop the wife giving me I told you so face

The exterior of the car is looking quiet good apart from a small piece of bubbling on the passenger door about an inch or so square

Pictures are here post #27
