According to Direct.gov, it has been on SORN since September 2012.

Probably a rot box by now unless it has been stored somewhere out of the elements for nearly three years.

It's a shame if it has been allowed to suffer due to disinterest
It looks like it was a really nice car... :(

Looks amazing!

Glad you have decided to keep her, you probably wouldn't have found a better one for a long time.

By the way, what happened to the headlamp wipers?

It was a new gsi shell. And it didnt have the wholes drilled out. So i didnt drill them out.
If u see a pic of the engine bay aswell. Iv also fitted a standard cavalier window washer bottle as the hole was not drilled out 4 the gsi bottle.
I havethe parts there incase i change my mind in the future

Don't blame you I'd never sell this car if I were you, not with the amount of work you've put in & you'd never find a better GSI anyway, if that's what you wanted to replace it with.

Lol sorry for the text talk. Yes enf means enough.
I cant find a good enough replacement for it. They were all mad prices for want they needed.
