I've acquired this saving it from the crusher or stripping. Was for sale so cheap that its destiny was going to be a parts car as its a 1.8 classic (none se lol).

Part of the deal was I let him have his old tyres and alloys as they where nearly brand new and I wouldn't use them anyways.

Plans? News some minor mot stuff, but once its done Ive wanted to do this from the first time I saw a mk1 75 tourer.....

That's would be awesome. One of my favourite ever shows when I was a kid

Plan is to do the car in a gloss white vinyl wrap, I used to do it for a living so if I can get right good material it should come out well as I won't have to rush it.

I plan a Grade a wrap, so doors will be coming of etc etc. Only gold parts I plan to be visible will be in the engine bay and the door hinges.

Get the car looking white by time summer is over and then I'm going to commission a full length roof rack which will be attached to the roof rails so there no permanent holes in roof etc.

After that it will be finding the right bits in junk yards to give the look.

Once car is completed I need to build one proton pack and a trap and they can go on display in the boot.

Lot of easier said than done work mind you.

that's got to be done,it'd look mint

That would be hilarious, especially if you could get the right siren to replicate the noise the original one made.

Robson Rover Repair · 5th May 2016, 11:48

Already have it. Have an app that makes it run from slow and then full speed and slows down as if car was being shut down haha.

Oh I've more bits like that in mind.

Just a word of caution, although I'm sure you've already thought of this.

PSNI won't be very impressed with you if you have blue lights on it on show while you're on the road.

Best option is to make those removable and only have them fitted while on private land or at a show.

Apart from that... Awesome! Can't wait to see it

I have a way around that figured out!

Looks like this weekend will be interesting....

Convert entire interior to ash grey instead of ash grey / smokestone. Some other little upgrades also. Photos will follow.

Lets play spot the differences.

3rd change coming soon!
