Was it previously owned by terrorists selling plutonium?

Well thanks guys! I fell in love with this a couple years back... ran into the guy at the petrol station once n swapped numbers... he WAS never gonna sell it.. but long story short its mine now!

Its a uk bus and came from the town i live in, hes had it 6 years.. it was in the next town over for 18 years before that.. and lived up my road back in the 70's/80's so its Definitely a local bus! And apart from being lowered is a true survivor! Original wheels, paint, danbury interior... everything! And the sills n belly pan is rot free n never been welded! And is the main reason i fell in love! I know theres prettier campers out there with fresh wheels n paint etc but god knows what thats hiding.. this is the most honest vehicle ive seen!

I can understand how it looks like suspensions goosed! And too low n bumpy ride buttttt your all wrong! Hahaha..

1- it has to be that low to be able to fit in the garage!! If it wouldnt fit i wouldnt of brought it cos i couldnt be mean enough to watch it rot away outside after surviving 40-something years..

2- its sooo smoooth! Honestly this thing is far from bumpy!! My mini, my mrs polo.. my old sx.. bumpy!! But this is not!! The front arches have been tubbed and has a custom narrow beam and the rear rails have been notched so it has full travel.. and despite looks its only the pedal pan that scrapes.. and believe it or not it was lower when it was first modified and still drove around fine

And yes.. it does remind me of the plutonium guys van off back to the future hahaa

I was planning on replacing all the seals, fuel lines, brake lines, brakes, make the engine uber reliable so i can go on some nice uk holidays BUT thats all been done for me so im all set to go!! There fore my plan is to get it up in the air next summer and detail the underneath so its like new underneath yet still look the same on top.. as i would rather PRESERVE than restore... its survived all these years without being painted n interior re-done etc so im just gonne keep it as is n just keep its rust at bay...

Nice.

If it was mine I'd get the spare of the front and chuck it in the boot. Will look 10 times better.

Sounds quite clearly like a dicky starter. If it only works 1/2 the time on the bench it won't be any better on the car!

Yes mate the 200sx has moved on, just got the clio cup as a daily now, i spent so much time making the sx a really nice clean example just to have all my work undone because i see it a few weeks later and the dials that i hid in the glove box stealth style were stuck all on the dash wiring everywhere, chavvy steering wheel, filthy as hell and knackered tyres (they were new when i sold it so its safe to say it was getting cained!) But hey ho... its his car now, i ticked an SX off my list, had my fun and even made a grand! *happy*
