Few things bugging me.
Having trouble getting it to fire up, turns over for ages before firing up, but once its been out and had a run it starts okay until you leave it for like half an hour.
Need some door window seals and scraper seals if anyone can help us out, i know this should be in classifieds buying and selling but havent got used to the website yet.
need the beading/trim for along the sills as you can see in the photo its missing, have the stickers on it now thought but still havent got the sill trim, any other bits that would make it look nice or are clogging up precious garage space let me know.

Constructive criticism welcolm lol cheers for having a look.

Hi Craig

I'm the Scottish regional host and cracking car you have there. Looks like you have done a great job on it.

I'm along in Uphall and work in Grangemouth.

Being winter there's not much going on just now but there will be the first meet of the year in April.

I've still to organise it but I haven't had a minute to spare, so I will dirt it in the next couple of weeks.

I hope you make it along to the meets
