You are being TOO kind mate! Yours are great from what I recall.
And, hardly tatty! However I do appreciate your comments, the car really deserved having these things done & draws admiring glances everywhere I go in it.
I've more to do, but with all things unless you are a rich fanatic then there are certain compromises that inevitably have to be made.
I need to get the leather re-connolised in the front, wheels refurbed & a host of more minor bits n pieces done, but thats all part of the ownership fun don't you think!
The chrome trim really needs replacing, but I havn't even looked at a price, I'm sure it would make my eyes severely water!!
I've got to work a program for the green6 as well, 'tho have a feeling the head-gasket has gone on that, so guess thats going to be another 'first-time' DIY job!! My head says its going to cost a lot to get the bodywork up to standard, but my heart wants to do it & the car deserves it IMHO!!
Its an unusual colour, doesn't owe me much, has a sub 100k engine & its part of the fun of keeping these ever-rarer cars on the road.
Its also (still an auto) a totally different car to drive compared with the Highline.
The family only want me to keep one - the Highline. I like them both!!
I honestly believe E12/24's will only go up in value, especially if the bodywork is kept on top of.
Cheers,
Dave
