I'm back in the P80 game! I'm still deciding on a name for this one.



Black exterior, black interior, just north of 300k on the clock. Everything is in fair condition. Needs a wheel alignment but no clunks from the suspension. Has a new headlining. Doesn't have a sunroof, but oh well, you can't have everything. Even the climate control works properly!

Known issues / to-do:
- Cruise control speed adjust down doesn't work, may need new stalk
- Some dash lights don't work
- Missing D-pillar tweeters
- Bumper has the usual cracks, has been triaged with cable ties (which you can't really see, because they're black! Pretty convenient)
- Engine bay needs a power wash
- Check compression and see if 20W oil is really necessary
- Front console drivers-side rear window switch doesn't work in up direction, probably needs switch contacts cleaned or switch replaced
Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!yeah!
So I went through the service history properly. Certainly been treated pretty well. I saw the rear shocks were replaced with KYB shocks, so I guess I'll need to find a set of Nivomats, as the self-levelling function is important to me for towing.
I also found the IC outlet hose is soft AF so it'll need to be replaced. I think I might just buy a silicone hose kit and be done with it all.
Here's my catalogue of exterior issues:

Look up the one I get them from , name escapes me ATM....Worley!
I rate their hose as good as any others and better for the fact you don't have to kill yourself trying to get the bastard tight ones on and off if you are unlucky! (Samco.....nooooooooooooo)
As said , I can get em at slight discount/haggle if I pick up.

By hand or machine?

I'm keen to do the V50 but can't justify (to the lovely handbrake) buying a Festool or similar right now and won't buy a rebadged Chinese tool for top dollar.

Will probably do it by hand :(

Number plate says "Betsy"?
@sucksqueezebangblow by hand. Paint is in decent shape for the most part, was a simple wax on, wax off affair.
It's a nice car. Honest and not too played with.
Not so perfect that you can't take it to a shopping centre car park.
