But a nice find
Did you know of its existence
Young mark would now be having a hissy fit letting the car get like that
Tell him its a write off and you had to give it away
but dont let him in your garage
Re: Wrecks to Riches... Imola MCoupe
My cousin has owned it for 10 years.. He's not one for looking after things as well as he should have. But it was used as his daily up until 2 years ago..

Today, Mr Vanos (Steve) working his magic on the new vanos unit.

The Coupe is back at mine for a short while, having a good clean and polish
Will be fitting some newly acquired facelift headlights..
She drives so well after having a full service and Mr vanos work his magic! The suspension setup is great and goes really well with the coupes rigid body. All the main mechanics are done. Next begins the exterior and interior revamp..
