The BG is dead.....

geetee · 12-09-2006, 06:03 AM

My old 323F GT has given up the ghost.
Rust has finally eaten its way into the boot, floor and chassis, causing terminal damage. Along with some other required work the time and cost for the new owner to repair it is too much.
loved this car I did, easily the best I've ever had in 15 years of driving.
Just thought you guys would like to know, seeing as this was the first ever forum I joined.

RIP geetee.

I thought you gave this car to a new home? Has the new owner misstreated it?

umm.. didnt u sell it and get a bj or something? lol u would know better~

New owner had it checked before doing some more mods and its apparently rotting away above the rear axle and numerous holes have appeared on the underside.
He's only had it for 2 months unfortunately..... I'm glad he didn't pay too much for it.

Yes, i have now got a BJII sport, pretty standard at the moment, and a bit bland....
