Nice one Andy time we looked in to a local meet now spring is just round the corner ?

Cheers……..

yeah i'd definately be up for a meet in our area.  

there was a post a couple of weeks ago about sorting something out that got the interest of 6 or 8, i think, so could be worthwhile   .

mmm colour coded BBS wheels always look good on a Mk1

It looks gorgeous and I think it really suits those crytal rear lights too :clap:  :clap:

Nice! Loving the wheels  8)

What are those strange looking things on the B posts?  :dontknow:
Like the look of the wheels!  

What are those strange looking things on the B posts?

not 100% sure walt, but i was told (whether i was being wound up or not i don't know! :? ) that they were for a roof rack!! 8O  8O .

maybe somebody can confirm this (either that i was made a mug of, or that they are for a roof rack!).

regardless, they'll be coming off this weekend.

thanks for all the nice comments about her; friendly bunch aren't you! :mrgreen:

Well I had heard of roof racks on cabs! Not sure why on earth anyone would want one fitted? How would you get the roof up or down? I wondered if that's what they were! I hope you can find some way of covering up the holes with something! I wonder if you could get some black vinyl and lay it over the black of the B post and then replace the window and door seals! I remember getting some vinyl a few years ago in the same satin black effect from a sign company! That might be worth a try because it would cover the holes and make it look like new! Just a thought!  

thanks for the tip walt, i'll look into that

That's one cracker of a cab you've got..lovin the wheels
