The Old Diesel

these arrived from newton commercial.

couldnt be happier with the quality  

Looks good mate, the door cards look lovely, get them fitted!    some amazing photos here too!

Nice one! Their door cars are excellent. As a club, we found them mint, original door cards to copy from so that they could get their tooling just right.

I think Chudd was one of the lucky people who lent his cards, and got a free new set for his troubles!  

good job! awsome!

thanks guys, the doorcards look amazing, but the way they have cut the hardboard is a little off, so to get them to fit takes a little bit of messing about

been a while since i have done anything on this  

i did start buying dishes for the bbs B) got myself a 1.5 for the rear and im chuffed with the way it looks  :-[

pics from the test fit.







just need to work the fronts out now

     

I see series one bumpers too  

looks good buddy

thanks man. yeh s1 bumpers, got a rear panel to match, just need to find some time and money to get it back in the bodyshop now lol

been a year and not a great deal has happened.

the car is going in for some bodywork this year so it should be like new again soon…. i wont be driving it across europe this time though haha

got my wheels sorted ready for after the respray as well.

Still need to get the front sitting a bit lower.

Your car looks awesome  

Might be a stupid question, but is it drive-able at that height?

Matt

haha you know the answer to that!… Nope!

if i raise it a little it drives fine  
it is sat on the wishbone mounts and the rear arches on those pics

car on its way for respray number 2



hopefully it will be finished before christmas

erm..

Right guys, i just wanted to warn you all.

Dont buy repro window seals, they are useless. i have had repro rear quarter seals in now for a few years and i have had nothing but trouble.

i have lost count of how many times i have had to take them out to try and stop them leaking.



if you are thinking about buying some, dont do it.

i have just swapped one for a genuine seal and the genuine one fits perfectly, something i should have done a long time ago.
 

Any new pics? Love these red one.. cool car..
