Another cossie estate lives on

VERY PLEASED to announce that the grey cosworth estate that was on ebay for a day and gumtree for around 11 hours is going back on the road asap with a new MOT.
This is the grey car with the odd passenger door that surfaced in Scotland about a month ago, it was then offered as a failed "rip her heart out project" by Jock who was going to put it in a P100 (Sierra pick up for those who have forgotten what that was), but having dry stored it for 10 years they decided to let it go.
Another Jock pounced on it the same afternoon and whisked it away even farther north, yet again to "rip her heart out project" this time for a Capri (had some - boat with wheel on each corner), BUT - on opening the bonnet shouted where do all the ****ing wires go!! as he found the BOB engine not the dizzy driven BOA from the Granny. So slammed the bonnet shut and put a new alternator in it to sell it easier (had had a battery drain problem - thanks Jock it was the battery dying so smaller bill for me) and put the b** thing gumtree.
Bought it! got it lifted back to Debn and has now been fully fixed with new MOT today, had a couple of "nit picks" advisories from tester as the car hasn't been MOT'd since 2007 so had to find something.
Reallly chuffed beautiful car in Nantucket grey (only out for a year), just caught N reg as it is July '95 build, 80000 on the clock, very glad to save it from the engine scroungers and banger boys, there's no chance of that now in a new loving home with Scorpio friends around it
Pictures to follow soon as soon as I can get Xander to do them for me.
