Purchased this little beauty off ebay last week, and what can a say.. its a complete shed..... and i love it 
Its been previously owned by captain kirk, completing 150000 miles
Heres a few pics off the ebay add.
Got her home and got it mot'd on the monday, needed a whole brake light bulb. But got advisories on corrosion on the underside which i need to sort asap.
Decided that i cant be bothered with a full restoration type project, so its going to go a kind of rat look way, but not so ratty if that make sense.
Out came a roller and blackboard paint, and the t-cut. i also removed the rear wiper as the wiring to it was shocking, plus the weight of the motor made it impossible to keep the boot open 
Also fixed the drivers electric window which didnt open or close properly, nothing a little wd40 couldnt sort
anyways, pics from today..
