Greetings!
Been nosing about the wiki for a while now and decided to finally get around to registering! I'm from South Wales myself and seen one or two members out and about.
I purchased my Baur about a year and a half ago and its currently my daily/rolling resto. It's in the garage at the moment having a new cylinder head and cam amongst other little bits. I'll be looking at a respray later in the year as well as sorting the dreaded rust out. I heard off a little birdie that someone on here does replica MTech 1 kits in ABS plastic, anyone know anything about that? Looking forward to sharing my journey with you all!

Welcome!

Nice early Baur you have there :thumb:

One thing to consider if you are thinking Tech 1, Your B-reg pre-dates Tech1 and early cars up to '85 had a different front valance and I would check fitment before parting with money.

I dont think the Mtech 1 are available UK yet but here is the supplier for the Mtech 2 https://streettech.co.uk/products/ols/c ... -body-kits

There rear is also slightly different but I doubt it would affect the fitting, foglights on the front maybe slightly off im not 100%
