vin 11477 - Finally I am an owner

Postby TristanC » Sun Apr 15, 2018 9:44 am

Yesterday was the day I made a deal on 11477, a fresh import from Illinois.

She needs a little work and an MOT - but it shouldn't take much before I'm on the road. (hopefully)
None of the front lights work....... (headlights, indicators or side markers...... ) So that should be fun!

Other than that, she runs, drives, stops........ WOO HOO!!

My thanks go out to everyone that lends their collective mind to provide information to guys like me. It's really appreciated.

Thank you all...... but I'm sure I'll be raising numerous queries as I go.......

Congrats on the purchase Tristan.

Pics aren't working for me either, would suggest uploading them directly to the forum.

Thanks everyone!! Pics fixed now, sorry about that.

The car is being delivered to my Dads place mid-week. Then I can make a start on things. (He has a nice big garage that I can take over :D)
