New Zealand

Message:
Do you know of any marina clubs in New Zealand. I have 3 marina's for sale and very large truck load of parts that need a good home (includes new factory body panels)



If someone over there want the email address, please let me know.

Hoo boy! :-D You probably know which bits I need. ;)

Would he have a set of black TC interior panels? Or a coupe headlining or rear parcel shelf?

Hi Bryan
There's not a lot of interior stuff there, the cars left have fairly rough interiors, so Im guessing no, but he does have some nice Aussie bits there, I'm thinking your car has pretty much everything to complete it. The coupe I bought has a dark blue, VERY basic interior and its an english assembled 1.8 in a very lowly spec. He has got interior lights tho, and since all of them are dust and bones over here I will get you one of those, he's also got a set of mags!!!! they need alloy welding as they've cracked around the studs (not serious, but needs doing!) I'm pretty sure their cosmics, but just remembered yours is Ford stud pattern doh!

Sounds like a 1.8 DL Coupe you've got there. You can count the number of known survivors on one or two fingers!

1.8 DL saloons are even rarer, don't know of any survivors :thumbdown:

Pah looks like the deal on my coupe fell through! He keeps changing his mind :-? I sort of guessed it might happen tho!!!
He's had it for 15 years and never fixed anything on it, but apparently he will, one day! Never heard that before!
