Bargain mate, looks good. Yeah, US markers too. Do they light up, are they wired in?

Good move mate!

I hate that bloody sleepy eye mod with a passion. Mine had it fitted when I bought the car, it was removed pretty much straight away. Why would anybody mod their headlights to look broken? :-k

well a little update.. been playing all morning
trying to fins something wrong
so far. as i already know the clutch felt funny.. but adter looking at the fluid i changed it.. this is what come out
Image
might be th cause of the problems me thinks..
going out soon to try it

in 2010 (10000 miles ago) had the engine rebuild and the gearbox rebuilt and clutch renewed
It is running a nice safe standard .7bar boost
its coolant was fine, oil is fine..
underneath no leaks anywhere no rust sills are good
still needs alignment done but nothings bent as far as the eye can see, and its still got ALL of the undertrays!

its got a nice alarm on it, remote start, window shuts, etc etc
also the interior lookd like a dog had lived it in so given it a hoover and its really clean, changing the supra steering wheel this week, its got swoosh gauges although only 1 connected

i think its sat for a while cos f the bit of tree and leaves and green i found on it so will give it a good run also looks like have sorted a recirc valve so that will make it run better too

will get some better pics wheni get 5 mins..

but so far really pleased.. going out for a long drive now to see how it goes..
