Yes another car!
I don't even know what reg it is!
A forum member called valver (Sean) had a ph1 16V and he took the engine and box out of it and its stayed like that for about a year or so I believe.
he offered me the car some time ago I said no, he got rid of the exhaust and I took the drivers side headlight for Docs ph1.
That was a few months back. I then asked him if he still had it as I wanted some parts. He replied with £50 and the whole cars mine, he needs rid as it was sitting in his brothers garage.
How could I say no to that! Worst case scenario was I would have to bin the shell and take the parts I needed.
I remember the shell was in good condition, its better than the other blue hatch I have.
So whilst we had the van today, my sister, Amber ands myself went over to get on with the job, well Amber and I did, my sister just sat in the van and read a book.
Amber took all the photos.
First thing was to get the car rolling. The engine and box was on the subframe which had been removed from the car. I thought, I'll just bang that back in. Then I decided I'll just take the engine off the subframe and put the frame on the car first then worry about the engine later as it was much easier to do that way.
