can you guys have a look at these and tell me what you think, cheers

All right I will stick my neck on the chopping block and say
253, Absinth yellow, black interior
POSSIBLE XU3
Tyre placard, if original, is correct for XU3, this along with the 2200gvm.
HOWEVER will need further pictures of headlining, blackouts etc
Let the fun begin

Im a little new to this so Im not sure what you mean by blackouts but if youre refering to the paint thats supposed to be around the the front windows, it isnt there the whole car has been painted a shitty green blue colour. as for the interior i have it isnt black. there isnt a gts dash or wheel either, is it at all possible that it could have been changed at some stage? and the headlining when i got it didnt go all the way back and has since been removed.20160108_030609_resized.jpg 20160108_030804_resized.jpg

From the look of the back there is no full hood lining teeth at the rear or any pieces on the side to hold the full lining.
I would then say that it is not an XU3, sorry
But I am far from an expert, i may have missed something, like you I am learning all the intrinsic details that make it a sandman
You can see the yellow around the back door.

Coxxy. Glad you were able to sort out your posting issue.

What I need is a photo of the chassis number. It will be located on the top of the drivers side chassis rail near the steering box. Flick a pic up of the rail number when you can.

Cheers.
