Congratulations! It looks very smart in the Ebay images. Great to have a car like that with such a low mileage.
I hope you both of you enjoy owning and driving it. |

mainly surface rust on the chassis. and other bits
rust screws in some of the panel fixing
bushes in the suspension look worn.
small panel in the front wheel arch that connects to the edge of the bumper is missing.
2 new tyres fitted to the rear this weekend and then I need to get the wheel alignment done...
ive done a search but cannot find any solid figures for wheel alignment -- anyone help ? |

Cheers went through your post found these
hey NZ- V55 here you go:
Toe Front: +0*13" till -0*13"
Toe Rear: +0*26" till 0*
Camber Front: -0*30" till -1*30"
Camber Rear: -0*30" till -1*30"
Caster: +5*36" till +3*36"
I'm on stock alloys so presume these would be the best settings for me |

2 new front tyres and full 4 wheel alignment , feels a dream to drive - was worried for a while.
Will start to neaten it up soon and treat and paint the chassis as much as I can from below...
Have track car to finish first. |
