1995 montego countryman 2.0i 7 seater

Very left field purchases.

Have you got any plans for either of them?

[petrolsniffer]

Haven't seen a 213 since my brother had one 9 years ago!

as above any plans?

[soad]

Are these your cheap runabouts? Nowt wrong with them, at least you sorted out the rust issues on a countryman.

[maestego]

well the 213 has the o/s/r arch has already been done just need to sort out the n/s/r arch to do,will be changing the alloys again as they rub the arches so they are going smaller to 15" 100+

now the monty,im getting my spare front hub and rear drum redrilled to pcd 4x100 so i can fit the fox 17" from the rover 213 that for starters....dvd screens are getting fitted to the front head rest and 2 screens fitted to the rear tailgate,limo tint front the rear doors back...

The 213 reminds me of Mrs "Bucket" (lol) and her long suffering husband off that TV proggy (name escapes me..)

Also reminds me of a Honda Ballade (as they were badged in South Africa) - and when I was taken for a drive in one of the hot models. I remember the engine revving to an easy 7700 RPM with no complaint - it was so smooth and pretty quick (back in 1988 ish).

Now, you need some skis and a roof-rack to really impress the neighbors!

He didn't take my word for subtle

Judging by the angle of the seat, you seem to have very long arms.

WTF is this a wind up!

17" wheels, 4 DVD screens, tints, ON A MONTEGO?

If you had to buy new locking wheel nuts the car would be a write off.

Within 24 hours someone with a coat hanger and half a tennis ball will steal those 4 screens.

Why don't you keep it standard and spend the money on new rubbers and suspension parts if you're serious about running and old classic. I'm not meaning to come across as a snob, I love any car which is in great condition, but please leave it standard otherwise you'll look like a right bell.
