Think he would be reasonable on price for some one who was going to restore it )

Sorry Fred meant to get back to you. Some reason woke up early this morning.

I looked at the MOT history on it and it's not a pretty picture. The car IMO needs a LOT of welding and its been stood for 4 years. I was going to send an email this weekend just to see if what I have got spare in spare cash would pay for it. Looking at the price now :shock: The answer is a resonding no!

Was this one on ebay last year?

Thanks for the offer on storage :D

im hoping to have this magnum by Wednesday many thanks to mitch, im hoping to re trim the interior seats , we have a company called claytons in Sheffield that can probably re foam the seats and find a near match fabric , am I right in thinking that carpet sets are fairly easy to get hold of for the magnum? basic mechanics im hoping to have help from brian burkinshaw ,probably a local body shop for some paint matching around the bottom sills , and my aim is to have a turn around for next years show season ….
if all goes to plan and ive got the cash then ill sink some serious money into the magnum , I guess its a obsession with some classics,
I can almost feel me reaching for my credit card and for the poorboys cleaning products :)

Well done Craig, looks like you've got a nice car there. I was contacted by a guy who has blue GLS seats which would fit this car. It's the later velour type material but would look OK. I'll pass on his details if you wish. I think he's quite local to you as well.

just to re assure all purists members , my aim is to keep the car totally standard , no lowering, no engine swaps, no drifting, no loud sound system, no big exhaust, if I could make it look like it rolled off the factory line id be over the moon :)
