I bought it in 1994 and I was the second owner from release and it was pretty much standard, and was still pretty much standard when I sold it on a year and a half later. I can't really say that now and looks rather very very gay and sporting a 2.5 di from a tranny. Mel put a bid on without me knowing, I went to go and see this morning keeping the emotions firmly in my pocket and not letting on. Mel made a deal and we now have the V5 sat on the side, will be picking up next weekend. She needs a few bits doing to her: I'm sure I didn't sell it in Metallic green and it had a proper grille on her: [IMG] (HTM) http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p309/stumgoo/Daisey/Front.jpg[/img] There were some proper dials in there too!

Leaving the speakers? [/quote] For now :) Been thinking about un-gaying her all day and coming up with a plan of action, so here goes: Immediate plans are: Fix the leaking hubs, source a grille, replace the 'panoramic' windscreen, fit some hetero wheels, remove spacks, swap roofs, maybe fit a cat flap with tailgate (need to source a lightweight tailgate though), fit an overdrive (off of the Series 3 88") fit some forward seats and give it the 'speshul' paint job ;) then enjoy for a while. I would really love to replace the doors too, however some muppet thought it was a good idea to fit the doors with Series 3 hinges then replace the hinge panels with flat pieces instead of the indented pieces so that's too big a job for now. I think the long term will see me source another Lightweight for spares and then strip it down and shift on what I don't need and possibly TDi it. However my current priorities go something like this, sell the poolander, sell the Series 3 88" (which I still haven't collected), finish the 109", sort the garden out, build a wall, sort the early swankey, fettle with the Safari. #Post#: 8468-------------------------------------------------- Re: Meet Daisy By: Albert Ross Date: January 29, 2012, 6:46 pm --------------------------------------------------------- I have a S3 Military screen with sharktooth rail for you Stuey.....
