not much of an update, but… as it was sunny i pulled it out of the garage and fitted a few bits i had accumulated over the last few months  :D  . .

on the drive..


still needs cambelt and tensioner before the engine bay is done, but got on with some other jobs instead this weekend…

rear lamps,


and dash trim and early style steering wheel


just needs a tailgate and mot and tax . . . . .
and suspension. . . . .
and wheels . . . . .

yes mate agreed, mars red rocks.

yes i also used to love their tunes, i used to play a few from logical progression 1 when i played out, a nice way to start a set before dropping some amen madness  :D

sold my 1210's a few years ago to pay for insurance on a prelude - worst thing i ever did, still got 10 boxes of records back at my mums in leicester i cant bare to sell.
