Cool.  My Parents had a 78(i think) Bright orange

[Flip Martian]

Apparently these are worth doing up and flogging to the beach hippy brigade for er...rather more. Or so a mate of mine told me (who bought one)

They are rather cool and classy.

[Roadkill]

That's cool.  Matt black, paint the wheels red and away you go.

I know where a presentable split screen is going for £7k, not so long ago that would have been nearer £15k

Yah and nar, but i have nothing really to back up what im saying apart from looking on the forums and seeing the selling prices of vehicles, i think they have come down very slightly but they do the same every year, up towards the end of the summer when everyone wants one then winter and spring loads for sale, summer comes (really? ) then puts all the enthusiasm back into them and pushes up the prices..

Sorry no post for a while but work has been crazy and ive had to do a lil work to the bay...

So I got it back



Then the oil leak became a slick



Sooo, apart it comes



Amazing how easy they are to work on, BARN DOOR ENGINEERING FTW



Coco-pops gasket and a bit of universal blue.



annndd I think that helped..  Still a leak but only a drip when hot...  New engine soon if I like it enough..
