Well as my off-roader came off the road i needed a run around. Picked up this snot green little beasty to do the job. 1litre 12 volt, 60k on clock, old couple had it before me from new so a nice tidy motor Only a tiny bit of rust at bottom corner of tailgate, the odd carpark small dent and the usual small scratch.

Few pics after getting it home -







Done a service on it, changed all filters and that. Flushed out the radiator and got new coolant in it also changed the brake fluid as it was like coke along with stripping and cleaning all the brakes. Cleaned and painted the front wiper arms up and hoy some new blades on and painted the washer jets black too.

First up on the mod list was the nasty orange repeater's had to go. Picked up some slightly smoked one's cheap so they went on.



Next up was some corsa C active wheels which i got hold of for doing a favour, 2 new tyre's and 2 4/5mm's so they went on along with some 60mm springs. I dont think it looks 60mm at the rear like but never mind i might paint them anthracite later in year along with the bumper tops and arches, unsure yet though.








A nice set of fresh, clean number plates and a slatted grill tidied up the front a tadge

Also picked up a petrol cap to smoooth off and a NS de-locked handle for mucho cheapness.

Paint code should be on the slam panel

But the paint code is:
372: Leaf Green Mica

Im sure the other code is 38L not 100% sure but you should be able to spot it

I don't know, just the way it was when i picked it up.

Picked up some new rear springs 60mm now as old one's were 40mm, all not lost as they were sold to recooop the money for 60mm back. Need to get a new expansion bottle and plug cover then am happy with it. Also a new rear wiper arm and blade and some green touch up paint.

I got some 60mm rear springs, so it now sits about right for me-






I got my old borbet a's back of my mate so they went on for abit but they catch too much so are coming off and are already sold so the 2spokes are going back on after a lick of matt black paint to tidy them up a touch -

Unsure where it is but as said there was a thread with plenty pics in of the L200.

Borbets have gone, sold them for 250, just had 2 new tyre's too. Going to be rolling on 3spoke sports for abit until i find some wheels i like and will suit the car and most importantly CHEAP
