Tony B Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Welcome! The Matador is iconic to those of an Airfix age. But be careful , it will be now I have the Matador it needs to tow something, then, well a Land Rover would be useful to move bits about..... it is a never ending slippery slope!l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtinasoup Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Welcome in. Grab that matador ! i wish too! but im not sure if she is too far gone! and i will most defiantly need help. she is in a scrap yard and has been for possibly decades. i got under her and it looked like she had some pannels mising on the engine/gear box and may have been missing breaking system components. my plan was to go the the scrap yard and bargin with the scrap man and spend the weekend there and see if i could get her turning at least. i have no experice with this kind of thing.
