Congrats on the lude..
you certainly have your work cut out with that one, have seen that car on ebay for a while, im glad someone has bought it who plans to bring it back to former glory, good luck with it!

Oh and you won't look back after a good drive in a 4g

Welcome, yep we discussed this one on the forum before, when it went up on eBay.
Glad someone has purchased it with the intention of saving - 2.3 Ludes are a rare thing these days (especially face lift ones, fully loaded with leather etc.) and it's still a good engine (my first 4th gen was a 2.3 manual). The wheels on it looks great, too.

Rot on that one is bad, but just changing the sunroof will be a massive step forward

and you can buy new rear arch panels off here for a fair price.

It may not be a private plate, but you may still be able to get something for it because it looks like one, so worth a go.

Good luck with it and keep us updated.

Any chance you got the link for the thread discussing it then?

It wasn't a discussion of any use tbh, we were basically all just agreeing that it was the most rusty sunroof we'd ever seen on a lude

Haha that it is!!! Nice simply though buy a nicer one swap me out

for the arches was just gonna send them to my mate and get him to cut and weld new plates in

And yes the wheels are one reason for buying this lol I have a bit of experience returning alloys to say the least so going to enjoy this one

Be aware they will have gone at the bottom as well, once you get the skirts off.
These are panels that cebul sells

He also does the outer sills as well.
