I decided Shirls P38 was to good to pass up
So I paid a deposit and sealed the deal
First pic attached :p

Nothing needed is there Steve? Will you be able to refrain from tinkering. Me thinks not. Congratulations.
Hope it checks as good as it read, after your discerning inspection.

There certainly are plans afoot :p
It needs suspension bushes so a SuperPro set is on the way and a door lock cam kit fix for the drivers door
Initial work will include adding O2 sensors, a tornado chip, fitting my rear bar, a dual battery setup and electric brake controller.
It has an engine watchdog fitted but I will probably still add a low coolant alarm as well.
Further on will come a reversing camera and a re-tint of the windows and maybe reupholstery of the front seats.
All in all nowhere near the work it would have taken to get the other 96MY car up to scratch

Well she is now sitting in my driveway :D
Came with a pile of receipts for work done and a stack spares in the back!
Only issues are that the cruise control does not seem to be working and I get exhaust fumes in the cabin when I put the windows down.
Apart from that it's only the suspension bushes which need replacing as far as I can tell. I have a SuperPro kit on the way :)
Great to get a vehicle with such a detailed service history, thanks to ShirlDownUnder :cool:
Time to get my rear bar sand blasted and powder coated again :mad: so I can fit it to this beast

Trailer wiring grommet was not in position, if only every fix on a P38 was that easy :p
