Cheers Ross, yeah i'm loving being back in a mk1, its just so much more fun with the added power!
Got a few bits to sort like the sensors, and I fixed a leak, where the water was dripping through the middle wiper hole and into the heater and then into the car. Apart from that I have just been enjoying it!
Next is seats re-trim, possible half cage and get it on some rollers and get my k star set up.
Pete

Well this moring was rubbish, was changing lanes when traffic slowed and I locked up, and ended up wedged under the tail lift of a transit :cry:
It looks worse than it is, it was a pretty slow crash, just the tail lift was rather solid :roll: So back in the garage and strip down the front end ready for the rebuild. Oh well guess I get to change the rubbish non gen wings
I need a bonnet, and wings, any one near Bristol?
Oh and out of 3 cars none roadworthy lol!
Bad times!
Pete.

Cheers People,
Yeah it could have been worse, the bonnet took most of the impact, under the bonnet is ok, just the rad got a bit rinsed, still drivable-ish, going to strip it down tonight and see whats what.
Mixer man, I will have the bonnet for a bit of cash, can I pick it up soon, where are you in Bristol?
You also have PM.
I fully could'nt belive it when it happened! 8O :redfaced:
