kiwi808 11,081 Report post Posted September 29, 2018 Would love to see a video of it moving. It excites me greatly that it runs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EpochNZ 6,231 Report post Posted September 29, 2018 Yes, there was much rejoicing. Up until now it was a real unknown, so the fact that it does run means we have confidence in tackling the bigger parts of the project. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yoeddynz 16,834 Report post Posted September 29, 2018 Spotted a 900 turbo 16 2 door hooning round a corner on a nice road whilst out riding bikes. It was a manual too and in black. Was very lush. I swooned. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yoeddynz 16,834 Report post Posted March 6, 2019 I know someone who would take that rusty challenge on as a new project But I would actually most definitely and up as a single fella and have to hang around with my new buddies as a proper Barry on the 'lonely hearts thread', exclaiming the the virtues of putting British engines into Swedish cars and why handbrakes on the front wheels are so good, whilst I eat my new default dinner of cheese on toast (which is btw the best food in the world but no, it apparently should not be eaten all the time so I've been told) So anyway... PLEASE DO NOT PADDOCK THRASH THIS CAR! It's just way to cool, and rare, for that to happen. Instead. Grow some man sized balls and step up to the plate and start fixing it. It's with it and you'll get a big hug and some beer from me and others on here for doing so :-) Or pass it on to someone else on oldschool who will. Not part it out and so kill agnetha. I wanna see this rescued 4 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustHarry 1,660 Report post Posted March 6, 2019 Considering over 500,000 were built during their over 10 year production I don't know if it's "rare' as such. More just different Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
igor 11,804 Report post Posted March 6, 2019 How many of those 500,000 are in New Zealand though? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yoeddynz 16,834 Report post Posted March 7, 2019 If the roof is solid and dent free then it's all good from there on. Nice thing if the door skins are straight too. Everything else is just easy edges. If it's mainly rust under the car then it only has to be repaired to a strong wof standard. Doesn't have to be factory perfect or showroom straight. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
