Thank you guys :). Yep. Thats the same colour as the one i was working on today. Brand new turbo :) There 3 speed Autos.
They were a special addition. There 20 years old.
Not had to do any welding as of yet :L. They are as bad as minis for rust in my opinion. There easy to work on as well in all honesty. Is it bad im considering getting one for the misses.

Someone who lived down my road had one in a really nice green colour until one day it got followed in by a bus. Now that would have taken some restoring haha. They do look kinda cool but are very much a girls car. There hold there value really well too which is always a bonus when buying a car.
