cheers man

so this weekend I spent fitting the coilovers, and its a good job I did because I noticed the front shocks cracked at the bottom but the car looks loads better lower in my opinion.

Looks great dude.  

love 5 door mk1s  

Liking that even more

today I have managed to get a fair bit of work done, I have been stripping it so I can get the bodywork repaired, engine rebuilt, rebored and preparing for a fresh spray job.

Looking good man, looks pretty solid!! Nice work dude!

cheers dude, it is very solid on the inside just the outside needs some work

See Grandad has been put to good use in the pics

Looks good inside mate. Won't take much to get that right.

I would be quite lost without my granddad and the Haynes manual haha    the inside is fine there is no rot or holed so I have done quite well

Great to see a CL being restored,went to the AGM this year and only saw one and that was in the car park,I did speak to the guy who owned it as he just turned up as I was leaving. As Father use to have one I have got a little bit more interest in this model,seems very much to be one of the forgotten ones. Good on you mate. Dad had his for about thirteen years and in that time I did keep it on the road for him, a 5speed box was a well worth modification and any questions or probs I would try and do my best to help out.

thanks a lot man, I was looking for a series 2 5 door and out of no where a cl popped up on ebay so I had to get it! I am thinking of changing to a 5 speed in the future. I felt really lucky to find a 5 door cl because I thaught it was one of the rarest ones!

Nice man! Mk1 for first car is badass! Mines my first car! Good luck with it all dude!
