hey all,

just got back from picking up my new perm 4. this one has faild its mot on a few bits of rust, some duff tyres and a split steering rack gator. but other than that it seems really sound.

its done nearly 150k miles but still runs perfectly. i've just dont 100 miles bringing it home and didnt have a single problem. fuel consumpsion was very light too. used under a 1/4 of a tank in that 100 miles.

there is one nasty bit of paint on the bonnet but other wise the car looks very well looked after. the alloys are clean and there is no rust on the paint. its a nice metalic grey colour.

i was going to sort it out and sell it on to a good home but i loved the drive home so much that i think i'm going to keep it as my daily driver. so i've now got 2 perm 4's. even tho one of them is more of a perm 2 stripped out racer.

pics as soon as i get time and its still daylight.

Hi

...

Very good looking car...
Were exactly, it needs to be weld?
The car looks better than mine. (Mine`s a Boxer 16v QV, not a P4, but it has the same alloys as yours)
Save it, please.
Its a shame, that cars looking this good end up, in scrapyards, to be canibalised for parts...

Good luck
P.Camilo

i've not looked at the rust yet. but the last owner told me that it failed its MOT on rust near one of the seat belt mounts and near one of the front suspension mounts.

i'm sure there will be more else where but for the most part i am really pleased with the car. i was going to to it up and sell it on but i like it so much and its been looked after quite well so i think i'm goign to keep it as a daily driver for myself.

i'll save it, you'll see.

How much? :-/

I'll have to have a talk to you about getting one out here, lol. I think Singapore may be a better option tho.... I'll have to do a dody or a rebuild to get the sucker registered tho....

I'll give you my little brother in exchange!

you'd be sick if i told you how much i paid for it.

get a bucket and sit down now.......

ready?

i got it for nothing. the last owner just gave it away after it failed its MOT on a few things. he was going to scrap it as the work would cost him a fair bit but chose to give it away to a good home instead.

should be up and running in no time.

I reckon, damn UK used car prices make New Zealand look expensive. Mad

A non-running 33 in that condition is never worth nothing.

Isn't the "Half" just a plain 2wd series 3??

i thought that with a little wooden frame work the cars could be stacked so therefore 4 per container would be possible,

Oh well, time for the trusty tape measure....
cheers

Hi icky

If you made a metal frame it mite work.but the containers are 9".6 high,so would be tight i think.the company i work for converts them in to power stations,i have the pleasure of spraying them now and then.

regards john

Speaking of 16v heads, how much are they worth in Europe?
