Great car mate very different get the decals back on!

Maybe you could try not breaking one for a change

Ah wow fancy posting it up on here?- I'm thinking not ha ha

Fitted the cup holders tonight while spraying the seat frames up. Also fitted a new rear number plate so decided to clean the boot while I was at it and this turned into a full on clean and polish as usual

Just takes time mate but they always come up and you've just got to be the first to see them ;) that's how i've scored a lot of rare bits. If i were you i'd make it nice and original but if it ever has engine trouble you could always get it forged and run more power while keeping it looking original. Even a map on it's own would see decent gains and all would still look standard.

The thing is the bay is all original and really tidy for its age. do love the idea of it running more power though along with keeping the outside standard

No big updates this weekend as I was with family but my ashtray for the cupholders arrived... Came with a lovely free gift! I can't actually believe it was sent like this. Going to take quite a bit of cleaning I think.

And also finally got hold of a working clock- it's been bugging me for ages so really happy it's sorted. Had to use my original plastic surround though as the 'new' one looked like the guy had removed it with his teeth. Was only £6 though.

Be a shame to tune this mate tidy it up and leave it alone I actually think you will de value it if you stick a 5e In people want standard tidy cars these day and pay top dollar for them should have just bought a boxy to mess with

Totally agree mate.

It's your car at the end of the day but it looks like a minter and is so rare in that condition. I'd leave it exactly how it is but do understand the temptation to play with it. Either way I'll br watching the progress

Will do

He's a good lad mate and will take care of it, I'll be having a look on Sunday as he's coming to see me

i went to Barkston a couple of times in the GT4- not to compete but just to watch. Went out on track in a friends GT4 though was tight and the track was really rough. I'm not in lincolnshire anymore as i've had to move down near Andover for work but am back in Lincs now and again.

i was on there last night and gutted they've scrapped the Barkston heath round as that was right near me. I'm not near any of the events

Got the new drivers seat frame welded and fitted today, got to say that the lower position is amazing! I can now actually fit inside the car and driving position is loads better. Next up, big brake kit....

I've always fancied it too but would probably want a car I wasn't as bothered about getting a few scrapes on rather than using the SR. Anyone looked into hill climb type events?

No worries mate. Well they're in my garage and £45 delivered so I'll wait a week then put them up for sale

literally only selling due to finding some 98's at the weekend that completed my 98 interior.

loving the progress mate, like catching up with what everyone gets sorted at the weekend i've got some glanza door cards if you're interested?

I can't imagine the wheel fitting will be different surely

I can't see any reason why not but can't be 100% sure

If no one claims them tomorrow they're going in the bin, just thought I'd offer them first

Yeh I hated the grey one so got a black glanza one got an omp supertourismo on my garage wall but it doesn't give the car the look I'm after. Was very easy to swap over mate- there's a 'how to' on here somewhere but I can talk you through it on a PM if you like. Main thing is disconnect the battery and wait 30mins before starting work on it

You can get some suede faux from eBay to completely retrim them

I get that it's not nice hence why I'm replacing it but I figured someone could retrim it and not have to run without door cards while they do it

Might get a new ps pump to be honest as its the original. The bay won't be finished until there's intercooler pipework and a td04 in there ;)
