Always thought the wedges looked good in coupe form and I couldn't quite believe that apparently good examples go for quite this little:

Based on the advert someone's got a bit of a bargain there.

Mmmmm, take a look at the engine pic.
Looks in a bit of a state for a unit that
has been recently replaced. And i can't see
how the electrics got a clean bill of health
with that many scotchlocks! nono

well,,,

Its sat in my garage at the moment, and yes, clean bill of health on the electrics was stretching the truth a little bit! well, a lot..

I did manage to drive it all the way from hull to kent last friday but it did get a bit warm.
all due to a leaking water pump, but this has been changed now.

The brake master and slave are the next on the list as they were pissing fluid but the rebuild kit is on its way and it should be done for the weekend.

Ill be addressing the skotch clip crap with a soldering iron and some heat shrink very soon, but I think I might drive it for a while first!
The guy wasn't wholy truthfull about the engine either, it seems from the bills he has that the engine was changed for a low mileage engine about 1991 not a new one for 6k,and has done about 15000 since then, the engine does sound sweet though, so I dont have any reason to doubt the mileage?!?!!all the MOTs are there too.

It needs work, but what did I expect for the price I paid!

Ive been posting in the wedge forum about the car if you want to keep up on progress
