Ah ha! I wondered how long it would take you to find this site. The windows are standard, they do have a slight green/blue tint to them though. I saw your new wheels the other day, very nice. They suit the drop.

Thanks, i actually got around to cleaning it yesterday and removed the sweet "two mudflaps on diagonal corners" combo. But i digress, looking at the pictures again i think I may be seeing the tint on the building windows behind :o:

It's very tempting to buy another M42 and have a rebuild/play but not sure what's possible. The sound of a coughing and banging 24v six pot is seductive :mad:

Very old thread ressurected. This one's tucked up in the garage waiting for some bodywork bits & bobs.

My Touring is nearing completion.....welding not far off being finished, then MOT and then off to the bodyshop for a tidy up.
