You have obviously put A LOT of work into this one. I'm sure you will have no problem selling.

Good luck with the sale.

Thanks!! appreciate the complement!

What millage has this got on it?

I remember when you did all this work and put the progress reports on here, tis one sorted clean LS and i'd be surprised if this doesn't go quickly for full asking price.

Good luck.

Cant believe your selling Mat after all the work you put in last year, was a good read and a tidy job you did of the car, Good luck with the sale mate

Boys thanks so much for the feedback, everyone has helped me so much with the project answering questions that i would be clueless about!! I have to be honest and say im totally gutted to be getting rid of her, but sacrifies have to me made!

WHY DON'T YOU SET UP A BUSINESS RESTORING LEXI?

I've seen some Lexi in a less than good state and would love to do something like this. As you've already been through it once, it would be less of a big step.

You've got a ready supply of customers on this forum already.

Good luck with the sale fella, she looks very tidy and im sure someone will get a good example!

LPG it and keep it!

I have thought about doing this as a regular thing but my job is too important to give up lol not many people can say that!!! Also would love to LPG but again its a fairly considerable start up cost which at the mo is a big no no!!

But thanks for you comments guys!


Best wishes Mat

its a real shame is that
