I need this in my life i have a big love for coupe's in fact my next long term project will be a coupe im sure. More pics man,

Strong work Wondered what had happened to this. Have you bought it really recently or are you the guy who swapped a front red stripe bumper with me for my chrome stripe one?

she just bought it but probly off the guy your talking about as he had it for years it came with a chrome strip bumper but its the wrong one as the rears has two strips and the front just one so we will be on the hunt for one soon as well as new wings and doors as they both have more rust than is worth fixing

car probly wont be getting worked on much until my cars finished as thats talking up to much time at the mo

did buy some wheels though

in fact, looking at the dolly its on it is my old one!!!!

ah cool it reg is d995 *** do you have any pics of it before it was stripped

pm me the rest of the reg to make sure it was mine please. It was previously a diesel from ireland. I do have pics of what it was like when i had it. I will also look for the old build thread on ed38 too

cool thanks for the link mate n yer i definitly think its the same car how come you never finished it after putting so much work into it, glad to see yous did a good job was kind of nervous about flating back the primer to find it was full of rust n filler,
cheers john

i didnt do any of the work on it- i bought it as a shell and sold it in the same condition. It was the guys who bought it off me that did the welding and fitted the cage. Didnt you get it off them or has it been passed around again. At the time I sold it I needed money to go to my mates wedding in Oz, so needs must and all that. Ive always regretted it and would love one again in the future. It was even on sale on here at the time too

ah thought that was your thread iv only quickly read through it on my phone will have a proper read later n na we bought it off some local lad who bought it n never realy touched it, he got off someone in cornwall i think, was that them seems like a lot of the onwers have have never actualy driven it

the guy i bought it from had had it for a few years and was a dead project for years. I won it on a drunken ebay bid
; )

thought i might as well do a bit of a update as my cars been going no were n my lasses has been to busy with work and uni

ok well the bay is nearly ready for a flattern and coat of paint
