    I thought a few of you may be interested in my little ax I've recently restored,
    It came to me in reasonable nick and sort of running but it didn't take me long to rip it apart to give her the love and attention she deserved

    Here's a few pics to give you an idea
    I'll get some more over the next few days

    Bet you cringed when I didn't know how to use the choke properly [emoji23]

    This thing needs to enter concours events, it's absolutely flawless inside and out.

    It was funny but not many people under 35 have even heard of a manual choke,
    After speaking today I think I'm going to aim higher with the showing of the ax, I just saw it as a "clean and tidy car"

    Lol Naith, I remember my old Fiat Uno having one, bag on nails that was. AX looks great!
     
  6. Wow that takes me back some years!
    I can remember my grandad bought one of these in black.
    Nice little car but really uncomfortable back seats.
    Are those compomotive MO wheels and 3 stud fitment.
    Lol :smile:

    I'm guessing it's still got the original engine with all this talk of chokes!

  15. That bring back memories. The first car I paid for was a J reg white AX GT Sportif. Quite liked it. Is the roof spoiler going back on?
     
  16. My 1988 fiesta 1.1 had a manual choke was great the choke was always fully out haha I believed at the time it gave me about 50bhp more and used to fly around the dales at the time
    Was even better trying to get into it in winter the doors used to freeze up and couldn't get in

    Spoiler is now fitted back on
    It took me 3 weeks to find a pair of original clips to put it back on [emoji38]
