PROJECT "V"

[SCOOBYTOO]

Well as most of you know the scooby went to its new home last night[:'(]

found my new project last night on the web[]

I've been looking for couple of weeks for the right car and by pure chance one appeared on the net late last night.I rang the garage up this morning and agreed a deal subject to seeing it over the phone . so off the family go up to peterborough[au] to have a look.

well it was basically as described the only added bonus which the garage didn't know was thar it was an MSD ltd run car with an extra 30bhp[]

the guy had 20 phone  calls in the time it took us to get from home to him, knowing the car was too cheap to be true i snapped his hand off[]

It needs a little tlc but overall its in great nick with only 46k on the clock with a documented service history.

After Sarah decided to get it filthy dirty on the way home, thought i'd give the engine bay a quick spruce[H]

SO HERE YOU GO!..........................

hhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, maybe not[6]

as it was..

yes thats about it, fully adjustable eleccy recaros too, ac, cd auto, trip computer,traffic master, oh and 2 cupholders.

this one has never had the carpet mat out so the carpet is as new, the ashtrea and ciggy lighter havent been used either.

i've a couple of small bits to do. the alloys are kerbed to fukc, a small patch of rust on the leading edge of the arch where it gets stone chipped ans a few scratches to polish out. then the real cleaning can start, although the engine bay came up pretty good for a quick 1hr fettle.

i'm going to keep if as a std car and hope to show it next year..

[tony_cousins]

[deani_age]

The blue one will be more reliable

[wrcturbo]

Nice but not a dream car like the scoobs (sorry) []

 

p.s. I hope I never have to buy a vauxhall, did it come witth plenty of spare head gaskets? This must be a nova drivers dream car????? []

[simon_levey]

Nice one Dean.

I have an SRI 2.5 V6 before my scooby.

One bit of advise. Make sure you get the clutch checked when getting it serviced. I didn't and then when it went it cost me £600 to get it fixed. Other than that, great car.

[type r pete]

[mark_sheepwash]

Yup nice clean motor Dean be good to see what you do with it - but it was good last night to be able to pull away from you and leave you at the back for a change..............................[]

You'll have to get used to be left behind now. [] At least you'll get to see a few rear views of scoobys []
