what ive been up to since i sold the 200

[geoffersmaher]

ok the names geoff I'm from south london, mitcham to be exact ( so any locals say hello)

have been trying to get rid of my 200 and ended up with this little gem, and as ive wanted an 86 for a long time I was rather chuffed

want to do a few bits too it, but its been a hoot so far. I can only hope there are a few meets that we all do? and I really do hope this is a lively comunity(just like the old ford one I used to be in)

I like that... needs the bumpers painting white etc and the rear arches don't look right.
