[troggs232]

hello everyone, im steve from durham, i have just bought my second s12, my first was around 6 years ago, the misus wanted me to be sensible and buy something with four doors, of course i said no, but she did point out that the spare room was cold and lonely on a night, so i decided to keep my nissan and restore it, and buy something she liked, perfect solution, get to keep the nissan whoohoo, but sadly not, the nissan was kept in a friends barn which was burned to the ground and the nissan was gutted, and so was i, so after searching hard i found another, its an 89 all standard never messed with and only has 89,000 miles on it, full service history and original bill of sale, it had been stood 2 years under trees and the white paint work had changed to tree green, i gave it a good clean up and got the g3 paste on it and i was surprised at just how solid she is, the only rust is on the o/s front wing, very soild underneath, gave her some fresh engine oil and filter and turned her over, fired up but ran very poorly, new plugs cured that, but the manifold gaskets were shot, changed those and now sounds sweet, ok, think ive said enough lol, oh, and the sensible car the wife got me to buy was a mondeo si, i got shot of that last week, and bought her a saab 93, she's happy, and im happy and still get to go to bed with her hahahah, oh, anyone got a good o/s wing for sale? thanks for reading my dribble lol, all the best guys, steve.
