Post by hammiegt »

Hi all, just picked up a 51 reg v6 coupe, wasn't looking for one, but it was well priced and well serviced so its now sat on the drive, kids think I'm a bit old for it [53] lol, but intial impressions are very positive, needs a couple of little jobs doing and has had the rear wiper and motor removed ?? but so far so good
cheers for now hammie

Well after a bit of reading on here, I have worked out the following, it has tuscani badges allround, including tread plates, the headlights have been halo'd and painted black, and de ambered, it has some sort of aftermarket rear exhaust, later rear lights, s111 alloys, and it needs the following, rear discs and pads, rear antiroll bar drop links, passenger interior light is inop, and cruise control inop, and aircon doesn't blow cold, it sounds sweet and goes well thou, oh and the sunroof sunblind trim thing is broken and half of it has come off
cheers hammie

Don't let the kids tell you that you're too old. Mike is a bit older and has one :)
And you wouldn't know he's that old either ;)
