Some of you's may remember this car from when 320ian had it.
He had done a fair bit to it when i bought it and i'm carrying on from where he left off.




The way i got it.

How it is now.
It's had a 2 new wings(one from before) all surface rust treated and had a re-spray apart from the bumpers and aprons which will be done soon.
I also fitted door cards to match the seats that 320ian had put in.While i was changing bulbs in the cluster i noticed there was a obc loom so out came the analogue and in went a 6-button i had in the shed,also changed the se steering wheel for a tech 1.Still got alot i want to do and the cab comes first but i'll get there.
Let me know what you think.

Not drove it much Ian tbh but when i have it's been good.Still got the clutch cylinders to do and its getting pads all round.Got the tappets set but its still loud.Going to look at another four door at the weekend thats been sat for awhile so might have the engine out of that re-built.I will put up side views when my mate brings back the bbs wheels hes putting tyres on as it has a couple of bottle tops on at the moment.

How the cab coming alone?

nice one, replacing the clutch part's should be straight forwrd but you'll need either a gravity bleeding set up or help from someone else .. just like bleeding brakes 8)

Cheers Ian.
I agree about the wheels think they really suit the car.
The wheel came off a breaker i bought and the fronts need 20mm spacers.The spacers that were there are crap universal ones so i'll have to get a couple of decent spacers sorted out.

Next on the list is the rear bushes,diff mounts and the brakes.
