Hi all,

So, after a year of cleaning up a pretty scruffy looking auction car, I've finally finished my Beta Coupe.

At the moment it's reasonably original, though it's missing its spoiler and the seats have been (badly) recovered. Nonetheless it responded well to some TLC and passed the registration inspection easily enough.

Anyway, it's been 100% reliable for the 5 days I've been using it, thanks mosltly to the advice from the users of this forum.

Cheers,
Hugh

Lovely :) Hope I can join you in driving around in a newly done up car soon!

Thanks, but let's not forget the paint had 23 years to harden before I buffed it! Luckily it's just old enough to count as a classic car by the insurers (Shannons), which as an under-25 male drive with traffic infringements keeps the fees down to some extent...
