It is the first on the wob though. If it wasn't for the no French thing I might of thought you had bought my old Panhard as that really did stink inside. Maybe something from the Rootes group.

I haven't smelled the interior yet but i believe a squirrel had got in and filled it full of nuts!

but im guessing that it stinks?

Will be throwing away carpet and probably make my own

Seats,Dash etc have cobwebs I thought the vendor might of hoovered them but up to the last pic they hadn't bothered :evil:
Don't mind cleaning but at this time of the year I don't want to get things too wet might end up going down the floorpans and if there's sound deadening remove it and disinfect the floor who knows?

Would not of minded the wheels on it if they were a full set but unless i can find a spare exact match ill end up having to replace the lot with aftermarket.

Tyres are past it three hold good air one has a 24 hour puncture dont want to replace tyres on wheels im not keeping so might have to buy an odd ditch finder or part worn?

Its the small bits you can get I seem to spend most of my life chasing trim parts made of unobtainum for vehicles I own :roll:

Well those who suggested Renault there is a link in a round about way ;)
Those who mentioned Rootes there's a link
Mr Rocker mentioned the type of Vehicle

But the prize for guessing what it was without saying a word at all everytime they posted a guess goes to Mr Rover :mrgreen:

It was under your nose all the time mate :lol:

It was the steering I found odd in the other one mind you if you figure in worn bushes etc and its a worm drive box im guessing after a thorough refurb it wont be so bad?

It was cheap so got a decent wedge to throw at it will probably replace all the brakes etc.

trans has slippage but if need be ill have it taken out and a rebuild
