Cool Here's my girl . 2000 classic . brought back to life from being stood 7 years . :)

Not sure if the link works but here's my girl the beast . My oldest lad with learning difficulties named her .

She was stood for 7 years in a scrap yard just well gathering what ever was thrown at her she was in a sorry state . But here she is now and I'm one buzzing scooby owner.

She's had new discs and pads all round , fuel pump , engine , cam belt kit , oil and filter and few other bits and now runs a dream . She's going garage Monday for her sills to be welded then the horrid mot lol . But fingers crossed next week she be road legal and full of life . Me and my hubby has worked hard being told it's not worth doing up too much needs doing but I can now say we brought this sorry girl back to life. She needs a bit of body work ie new bonnet and wings but bar that she's a smashing sexy thing

You look to be doing a good job with the car and nice to see someone putting a bit of effort in, but those seats got to go

Cars looking good n nice colour. Seat colour isnt good ,as said, but its your motor. Depends to what extent the sills have gone , but my step sons had half gone and was going to cost 400 quid ,at least, to get done. think that was by a mate too.

I would keep the seats because they are factory original? They look to be original because they're the same shape etc as the 'normal' seats. Just take it to a good valeter and give those seats a proper good clean with some leather cleaner and conditioner. It's not often you see seats like that!

yeah definately original seats , just retrimmed in leather.
would be okay in black and blue ,but at moment looked like huggy bear had it.
but everyone to their own . its not our car and if scooby lover likes them as is ,its their choice.

Applied model code on vin plate will tell you which model yours is.
Too many doors to be a P1 as they are 2 door
