For about an hour of your time and £20 I think it's worth it Mate  :cool:

Thinking about swapping the panels in it (if I can) so I still have the original in but I do quite like the glass  :undecided:

What a great thing to see after a break from the site... Looks good too.   Is this a second car now?

It is for the minute mate. Got a little 6n polo as a daily which is saving me a bl00dy fortune  :cool: :cool:

great to have the option of not having to get everything done before the Monday commute  :cool: :cool:

Could do with a similar garage space to yours :afro: been looking around nearby and found a house we like with a large garden with a garage so hopefully I'll be in a better position to get this thing sorted properly :afro:

Cheers Wayne :afro:

Right, update.....

Got the Momo in   :smiley:



Then started on another creature comfort  :cool:



Then I decided to have a look at the issue of the indicators not working :angry:. The hazards were OK so I knew the relays were fine and all the indicators worked. I diagnosed that the stalk itself was pooped  :sad:

This left me like this....



A bit of research showed that the later controls were a direct replacement (and they look a little better so I sourced them along with the cowl and fitted them).





The clocks are still out as there are some LED's missing from inside them  :undecided: :undecided:

Also removed the rear wiper...... surprised me how much the motor weighed  :shocked:



And that's where I'm up to. Sorry for the bad quality pics  :sad:

Bit more of an update........

New wheels & tyres, arches rolled & pulled. New top mounts on the coilovers, all red rears fitted. Full MOT, a bit of tax and it's on the road  :smiley:





Need to sort the exhaust where it catches the rear beam and the drivers window rattles when it's fully closed so I'll whip the door card off at some point to sort it.
