just got back yesterday, so missed this whole thing, probably a good thing I stayed out of it.
on the car front nice one!!
remove the stickers and the gt badge, and the goldie looking ebay thing (I've got a real abarth one in my big box of uni stuff pealed off a cinq abarth).
dent in drivers door is fixable.
passenger looks messy, hence the price I suppose, wont be the end of the world to find a tidier door skin (£20 maybe and a mornings work?)
as for engine, you've fell into the 75 realm of problems, 75jr in wigton has one too, and just like me he regulary gets ecu and 23mpg. I think they just have a bad temprement, but 75 from a 1242 8v is enough to forgive it!!!
Just changed the little watch battery in my ecu as it forgot its maps after main battery went dead, cost £3 for a little round battery, and hopefully I shouldnt get any more problems! will get back in a few weeks with the outcome.
as as you say, change them orrible wheels for some anthracity 16v sporting ones. gonna get mine tidied up and anthra'd, get a fresh tyre to match the others (some nankangs that no one has anywhere, expensive at 40 a corner, but no one has any, so I'm at a loss as the car drives like **** with 3 of nan's and 1x dodgy remould, so the steels are still on but rubber is running out fast. gonna have to pay for one to be posted up from south).
looks lovely, pretty much as it came at the moment, got loads of stuff to do.
