mountainmanUK's TXD turbo 1993
This is "Monica", bought in March 2007 for £250, with 3 months T & T!
She now has a new full MOT after fitting a new n/s strut return pipe (£6-50) and tightening the VERY loose hub nut! Biggest job needed was a new o/s outer CV boot! Not bad for a Loot 'find'!
Fitted a nice set of Speedlines and the handling has improved no end, also a few odd bits 'n bobs which needed fixing (heater blower, etc), but she is almost all original!
Plans for the future include new spheres all round, touching-up of a few scratches, and a new clutch & (maybe) gearbox later. Obviously will do the belts while the lump's out!
125k on the clock, and still gets 50mpg with no smoke!
Cheers
Dave
Monica definitely hasn't got a cat!
There is a moggy that lives next door, but I don't think it was in the picture!
Yes, I did a pretty quick refurb myself. They stand up pretty well to inspection from 20 feet, but could do with a more careful job doing at some point
They certainly make Monica stand out better than the 'cheapo' trims I had at first!
You can meet her for yourself in 3 weeks time....in Godmanchester (Sunday only)
