Well i did get it for £230 so even if its pants , its not going to be too bad,
got it trailored from near portsmouth to Kent, luckily i have a storage depot next door to work who are very accomodating so ive started the strip down its got a standard escort back axle and used the single leaf spring ive got the drums off everything looks ok there , drums cleaned up ok , adjusters after a soak of wd40 worked the cylinders are almost new one wheel bearing is rumbling , but at £14.00 its not going to break the bank

the fronts are a different kettle of fish though , they are basically scrap , i need new TCR's and coilovers these mount via brackets welded to the arms its been fitted with motorbike adjustable dampers , i understand this is normal for duttons?? im going to look out for some cheap avo's ,But at least the discs and calipers look to be ok just a bit of light rust the calipers work using an air line , i got an pinto 2.0 with the car but need a box, does the 1600 pinto box have the same ratios? because ive noticed one going for silly money rather than the £200 you normally pay
