Some may have seen my Kensington ( goldrush's Kensington )
After repairs from the first accident the second finished it so
I went and got another one

So here it is a 1997 ascot se in knight fire red 55000 miles

I hope to do something different with this
Going to lower and put it on my Mpis as soon as the assessor has been










Let me know what you think

Gotta love the cream interior of an ascot

As said, great base to start with. Much rust?

To day got it up on the ramp and found that the frontons jacking point
Is rotten
And that the subframe on the front is rotten too
O and the massive 2.5" hole in the exhaust




The reason I need a door and wing

The shot rear arches



And gave it a little clean as well

Any body know where I can get the front knuckle joints I think the boot that the trumpets
Sit onto cant see how they sit either.

Wen I had the car on the ramp the other day and they appeared as if they
Was coming free


Would it be worth removing the subframe and putting my N reg r100 into it
How hard is it ?


Cheers Alex

Handles like a go hart again
Then I got the MOT pass I needed



Then got my interior fitted very happy with it much more comfortable
Than the horrible ascot one


Fronts


Backs


Door card


An overview of it

Also fabricated my road kill Catcher
And painted it


And got some more detailing stuff gettin there now

Right then as usual I went to Bristol for college and I have body and engine damage

First up was backed into a wall on the 11th and then all was good during the week


And a close up


Then on the 18th as I rocked up to college I noticed the temp needle right over to the red
Got parked up checked water and was deep brown not the crystal blue it was before

So as a result it boiled twice on the 100 mile home trip today
So going for an engine change to the one from the blue one still 1119cc
8v but its SPi not MPi so that's going to need converting over

You shouldnt need a gti tow hook to fit the rear anti roll bar, my 111sli had the holes there ready for the antiroll bar
