BB3
Just got time to quick couple of pics of the new arrival.
Its a BB3 - needs work to pass MOT but it is a runner - most work is brakes & cv/steering rack boots.
Seller said it was black but it turns out to be phantom grey
Its a ukdm 1996 manual 2ws F20A
First registered 31/12/1996 so would have been one of the last off the production line and has done 115,000miles from new
Not sure what im going to do with it but i guess it will be getting fixed up

My first Lude was the same colour, bodywork looks to be in decent knick - arches ok?

Thanks norks - the bodywork looks not bad and panel gaps are good - it has a rusty sunroof so a little bit of moisture has got in to the arches from the inside and have just started to rust a bit. I have a replacement sunroof panel ready to fit and some dynax s50 for the inner arches so that should sort things out.

BB3 welding done
Merlin and i have been working on getting the BB3 back on the road - there have been a few set backs but we stuck with it but i wasnt prepared for this when i turned up on Monday evening
Im gutted but still pressing ahead to finish all the mechanical work.
The spend on the car has risen sharply after the complete brake overhaul which required 2 new rear caliper and pads.
Not sure where to go with now

BB3 Mechanical work done
Thats the brakes, steering and driveshafts all finished up - this should complete all the mechanical work - test drive is up next so fingers crossed
Big thanks to Merlin for helping get this lude across the line.
