Same colour as my two mate and it will come up a treat if you wash it and give it a good claying (You mite have to clay it a few times to get that tree sap off or you use some tardis) followed by a good polish then wax.   Good luck with it mate.

Due to personal circumstances not been able to do much at the.moment, but.looking to go for an mot week after next.
Will post results when I when I get the expected fail note!

If you still need to do the exhaust then just get a complete Eternal Exhaust - all three parts will only be about £130 delivered!

Mine has lasted me 2 years / 30k now and it is sweet.

Agree with comments on getting a set of wheels / tyres second hand (check ebay out, you may find some local ones so saving on delivery!)

A beaut though!

I know there are numerous sets of MFL Elite alloys with tyres sitting in members sheds and they are usually sold for buttons, put a wanted post in the test section when your ready and im sure a mod will move it for you.

Love it when abandoned cars are resurrected

Cool. Wonder if there are any windscreens suffering the same fate?!?!

[sneakypenguin]

I'ma amazed how mint the interior looks, good was/wax and hoover all the leaves up will look fantastic. I'm sure if there's someone close to you with a halfords/vx trade card they'd be more than willing to help out. How did you find it? any progress?

[activamad]

It belonged to a friend who just parked it up in summer when he was using his bike and just never put it back on the road! Progress is still slow, desperate to get it MOT'd to see how bad it is but can't seem to find the time at the mo around family and work

Good luck mate. Can't believe someone would leave a top notch car stood idle for so long - reckless  . How many miles has it done? 

[activamad]

How many miles has it done? 

109k.

Moment of truth 11am today- MOT booked, insurance sorted now lets see what it fails on!!

[activamad]

For those who haven't read my other thread, MOT failed on windscreen, exhaust, headlamp aim and a bulb. All round result I think especially as I already knew about exhaust and screen Just need to get those sorted (oh and the misfire!!) and with a fresh MOT service, cambelt and a whole host of other maintenance including a/c if poss and I'll be smoking around in it.

I might even clean it!!

[twiglet]

Good news buddy!! My offer of the windscreen still stands, though if you have fully comp insurance for it you may be just as well claiming against that and paying your excess. Let me know either way! 

[activamad]

Bit of an update.

New pattern exhaust fitted, rubbish fit but it does the job  :-?



Not that there was much wrong with the old one 







New screen



Bit of a clean, definately going to take a while 









And finally carried out the power sounder mod 



Retest Monday morning, fingers crossed.

[Del Boy]
