Original rear suspension will be included. I haven't got the front suspension anymore.
Only reason for putting new control arms and tie rod ends on was purely because I had the cash at the time and thought it would be best to change due to upgrading the suspension!

The car was never fitted with a stereo from factory. i've bought everything new and paid to have it professionally fitted. its not over the top for the car. I tried to make it look as period to the era of car as I could with new equipment.  
The car is as close to mint in original condition as you can hope for. there is no welding that has been carried out at all underneath and on the body. Its a true survivor of our terrible English weather!!! The car was garaged for a good 10-12 years by the previous owner. I think this is partly the reason why the car is in such good condition overall.  
I purchased the car the day it popped up for sale which was 21. 02. 2015

The car has extremely impressive service history which is listed below.

The previous owner purchased the car in 2004 from Hulls Motor Company used cars and barely drove the car by the look of it. I think he had bought it more for an investment and a weekend toy which makes sense as the mileage has barely moved since the documented service in 2003. He had the car garaged from 2005 from what I remember him saying to early 2015 just before me purchasing the car.

IF YOU REQUIRE ANYMORE PICTURES PLEASE DONT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME VIA HERE OR 07568324600 AND ILL HAPPILY SEND YOU OVER REQUESTED PICTURES AND INFORMATION.
Id be interested in a deal with something on air ride preferably BMW/AUDI/VW if you have anything that might interest me.
I can take things off to make the price better as well. If you are genuinely interested come down and see the car and price can always be negotiated to suit your budget!
REMEMBER. THIS CAR IS FROM 1981 AND HAS ITS ORIGINAL PAINT AND PANELS. ITS NOT 100% SHOW CONDITION. THERE ARE SOME STONE CHIPS THAT HAVE BEEN TOUCHED UP IN THE PAST AND THE SMALLEST BIT OF SURFACE RUST ON THE PASSENGER INNER SILL THAT WILL REQUIRE ATTENTION TO STOP IT GETTING WORSE (quoted £120 inc VAT to sort but haven't had the time). ITS VERY MINOR I CANT STRESS HOW GOOD THE CAR IS AND COMPLETELY SOLID UNDERNEATH!
