I'm amazed that so many IDENTICAL 3rd gens turned up in enthusiast circles in the UK at the same time. Weird, but in a good way.
It's great to see these cars being restored, particularly with the exemplary attention to detail that you are demonstrating. The more I drive mine, the more I love it. They are wonderful little cars; basic yes, but marvellously practical and useable as a daily driver. I'm getting 46mpg average and a lot of thumbs-ups!

Got a universal mishimoto rad and fitted it, unfortunately didnt get picks of it fully fitted yet. Also finished my exhaust system.
