Yep, I've bought another one
Imported in 2008, 2 owners from new, one in the UK, one in Japan.
78k on the clock, no rust, scrapes or dents, so it's cleaner than the original one.
The plan is to swap some bits over from car number one to this one, the driver's seat needs to go as it's a blue cobra monaco, need to swap the suspension over so I've got coilovers on a working car, also, steering wheel, gearknob, maybe the hood, roll bar needs changing too.
Then it's new wheels (15s to replace the 16s on the car), ducktail rear spoiler, polybushes and that's it, for this year at least.... I will have a spare engine, so we'll see
Opinions?

Looks good though mate, where did you get your coilys from?

There are some rare, and frankly shit, flush-fit headlights available, so they generally all have the pop ups.

1.8 16v, 130bhp, RWD with LSD. Weighs about 1000kg so it's quite nippy.
