Only for parts :-)
i have seen those inserts before but i cant temember on what- i think it was on a very rusty 76 i broke for parts…mine has new wings though as its done over 200k- if they were there they are long gone..

You sure? Yours looks to be a 76 model year car, hence the 176 chassis Vin start - or so i thought. From your VIN its around october or November 75 i think. I only looked because its P reg and it should have been on an N if it was that date..Swallowtail_uk said
i think mine was built 18/1/1975 (got to be one of the 1st)
Parts i have some parts -alot of small interior stuff - some body panels im keeping for mine and odds and sods, - send me a pm with anything you need …. worth a go as i may have a spare. 8)

Edit - description does say it was a W-reg now registered as a R-Reg

1987 Alpine White 1.8 Clipper Cabriolet
The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

As the car had abit of damage to the chrome bumpers, instead of buying new repo's (the easy way out), i splashed out alot of money getting them straighted, striped, polished then chrome plated. Picture will be uploaded soon of these.

Original dealer sticker
ok more areas to address - i HATE rust!
rear seat clips are different:bolts to the body.
more strip down pics:

heater box - different
seats:

Rear door cards were peeling, so the interior dude sort these out for FREE!

Are you having the stickers remade and if so how do you go about doing it? I have a one that used to be in the car that has long since failed due to UV.
Enjoying the updates 8)
