The recommissioning begins
The first stage of getting this car back on the road has now begun, a new key was ordered from Rimmers today, however, with xpart being closed due to the virus, it's a waiting game as to when the key will actually arrive.
It is just over 9 years since the cars last mot ran out, it's been stood longer than that as it had broken down and was left in an underground car park until I acquired it at the end of September 2017. It has been washed and polished in my ownership and covered up and thats pretty much it. Life and too many things going on had meant the car would just have to wait its turn. Thankfully that time is now and I'm quite excited to getting started on this one. Here's a link to the original thread. https://the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/s...ht=%A3143+ebay |

Hi Dave. With the exhaust in that condition, do you think it will get a stainless front to back? If you ever do think you will get one,MIJ Exhaust in Walsall near me it has a good reputation I believe. Still working on the silver one, but not in any hurry at the moment. Just enjoying the weather.
