Mad? Thats just plain crazy Ned,good luck with it though

I don't think you're mad Ned - enthusiastic yes...mad...no

I don't think you're mad Ned. Ambitious,yes, but nothings impossible

One good thing. It looks like it's been kept under cover. Tin worm might have gone to sleep.

Is that gonna be the new courtesy car

Better get an MOT on your 156 quick then

didn't have a look before buying then that's how i bought my sud and look at the mess i'm in
no, seriously i think it's a bargain, would have had it myself if i had the space & time is it gonna be a full on resto job through your works? or a hobby car for yourself

Congrats

She seems to be in an acceptable condition and from the pictures see has few ectras like the rims ans 16v susmpension since it is lowered....She is going to be very good when cleaned and serviced.

Pub.... Lots of alcohol..... why not!!!!!!!!!!

Will it get a P-Box

Good luck - it will make a fantastic road car.

Leave the horrid bumpers and side trim off when you rebuild it and it will look great.
My restoration project has the Veloce body kit, but I`m still tempted to leave it off. The original clean lines look so much better without those big plastic bumpers and they must weigh a few killograms.
I had a good look at my car before I bought it and I still found about three times as much rot as I expected when I started to strip it down.
Just keep thinking about how good it will be when its finished.

Congrats Ned
- it may have all sorts of nasty bits - but so rewarding to get it back in shape but will you keep us up to date with the progress? It keeps reminding us that we are not alone with our ??? obsession ??? perversion?? interest?

You are only just up the road you can come and take a look when I have collected it if you like.

Ned

Thanks for the offer Ned - I would really like to see it when you get it. Any idea when tho?

Great project, keep us posted
