A couple of you on here already know bout this car, but after 3 months of reading about others cars, think its time to join and start my own thread, hoping that some of you will enjoy the read.
I bought my MK1 posi blue vtr 0n 98 thousand miles from a friend of a friend who had an accident in it, this ment that i was able to pick it up for the very attractive sum of £100. So we set about strapping the bumpers back on as best we could then of on a very interesting and thankfully uneventful 10 minute journey back to my house were it would live until i passes my test at the beggining of November.
The pictures below show the state that the exterior was in after removing all the parts that would no longer be able to stay on the car. There are no pics of the interior because i didnt think about it at the time, but it is in very good condition for the age of the car.
So i set about trying to purchase the parts needed, trying to keep it as cheap as possible to try and see how little i could get it fully road worthy for, and to ensure that i had enough left for insurance. I purchased most parts off ebay and ensured that i only bought what i needed. I have no pics at present of how it looks now but i have been driving it since my 18th on the 13th of december, so i will give it a good clean and get some pictures up over the next couple of days.
It is by no means perfect, more a work in
slow progress now i have the all the parts that allows it to be driven, however i plan to carry on the improvements as and when funds allow.
As said i hope to post up pictures of how it looks now over the next couple of days, and write a full list of everything that i have done.
Thanks for reading, all comments will be appreciated.
