I’d really love it to be black again but it’s about 3k for a good job

Is the colour growing on anyone?

‘Simply’ rebuilt it and it now works. It best keep on working as I never want to deal with it again

After stripping it down I found there was only one bolt holding the motor to the regulator. Sounds like a simple job but I had to wrestle for over an hour to realign everything. I’d kept all the old bolts since buying the car and hidden amongst them I found the spare bolt.

Boring update but a big win for me. Just before I moved jobs the passenger window failed. Could hear the motor clicking away so I knew it had to be something simple.

cool little thing mate

Can't believe i've never commented on this build. Lovely parts going on mate and great build. The brakes look naughty.

This thing is going to be amazing once it's done. Great effort to keep her on the road- think how many have been scrapped over the years

Well done for actually getting some parts from him, all I achieved was a complete waste of my time and then I almost got scammed out of money. Pipes look good mate

Took it to its new home last Friday, Ripon, Yorkshire

Thanks very much lads, love the little thing, can’t wait to get it on the road

Looks nice mate

Went for a little drive before loading up to transport to my new workplace. Tracking needs doing but other than that she’s all good.

Yeah still for sale

Good little job done today, re-cut the threads for the bonnet holes and extracted one that was sheered then sorted that one too. Fitted it all temporarily for now but will clean everything up and paint it in the future.

As usual the job spiralled and I ended up replacing the hub ball joints as I had a nearly new set on some spare hubs and the originals were knackered. Also fitted the whiteline droplinks, new wishbones, anti lift kit, camber bolts and test fitted the wings ready to transport the car to my new work next week. I also cleaned the arches and waxoiled them.

I got these on Sunday along with a GFB boost controller from Si. Really happy with the condition. Fitted the front ARB which was a mission as I didn’t want to take the front pipe back off now that it’s nicely sealed. Got there in the end though

Gone, please lock

Sold please lock

Sold please lock

Met up yesterday and got front and rear ARBs and a GFB boost controller. Parts were in fantastic condition, great price and really nice bloke. Even arranged to meet at the services to save me a bit on my journey. All the best buddy

Collected the arb’s and GFB boost controller last night, top bloke, genuine seller and fantastic condition.

It’s going to be amazing this thing

I cut the brand new bushes off, ready to fit the anti lift kit. Really easy job just being careful not to grind too deep. Hack saw the rubber off and then begin grinding the metal. As you get close, little blue marks appear in the metal where the sleeve is about to giveway. Then a thin mark/line appears and at this point you want to stop. I then got a small chisel and hammered each side apart before grabbing some mole grips and sliding the sleeve off
