It's only a small project, :smirk: 1998 C70 GT T5, bought with a nasty clunk on the front. for a grand total of [SIZE=4]£250[/SIZE] with mot.. Image Upon further inspection (once i got it home), this is what I've found, Front top shocker mounts worn, Image Both wishbones are shot. Image Drivers seat won't move, Exhaust rear hanger snapped off, Dent in the bottom of both doors, Engine Stabilizer bush knackered, All 4 tyres are kaput.:eye-poppi Inner CV boot split Snapped stud in front hub:doh: Running on 3 cylinders :wallbash: Breather system completely blocked up. No interior lights. :cry: And it needs a valet or decontamination.. It's Hangin!! Image Image Image Image But other from that it's mint !!!:nut::nut: I've had to call in reinforcements.. DAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!:beer:

Looks like it's an easy fix, and a tidy car (other than the problems you've highlighted). I thought GTs had the stereo upgrade with the dash top speaker (mine has :D ) but yours has electric seats so must be a GT. What are your plans for it?

Yep it is a GT electric seats and the speaker in the top of the dash, Sunroof and aircon too. :funkybana Going to tidy it up for my Dad, he's always wanted one.

Nice for someone to be saving one of these for a change... I bet you could sell the wheels for the price you paid! Wouldn't mind them myself ;) Strange door cards too, not seen some with the stitching before on a C70.
