I thought I'd follow suit and do a blog on my project car, as people seem to find them helpfull and interesting for ideas.
So, where did it all begin.
Jeremy Clarkson said something i'll never forget (not the crap that got him evenually fired). He said in relation to a car review on a Top Gear episode, that you can hate something so much that you like it. I didn't understand that. After hating the K12 so much, I saw one in the pastle blue with spoiler (as on the 160SR) and a K12 Chic and loved them. From then on the I've been more and more desperate to own one. A personal issue in my life, left me with some cash (rather not say as this is about my K12 project), so now is the time to jump in a get one. My mate (twisterboy) helped find one and told me about a 160SR, I checked it out and one poped up near, with a little treck to see it. i'd set up insurance for it and bought it and was helping a local get going with his buisness.
So, what then. Well I got it out for a few drives and love it every time even more each time. But, bonnet wouldn't oppen and a local garage fixed it for free with WD40. So far so good, it's the best car I've ever owned and my first ever 2nd hand car. I was already on here, so got back on and posting.
Where now? but first I need to get it back to looking new again on the body and driver's headlight.
O and I've no name for it yet (should I refer to it as her?) I'm open to suggestions.
Here are the current pics so far. 2 are in my flat's communal car park, 2 at a local McDonalds, 2 at a local carvery and 1 of the engine after fixing the bonnet catch and before cleaning the engine.
I have plans after getting the body looking new, so come back to see, as the mods begin to take shape.
