Cheers pal, seems to have become a bit of an obsession, strange really as cars have never really been big on my list.

Not yet pal, I might do them at the weekend but I have garage that will do them for £50, might take the easy option

Its this bloody place that gives me all the idea's, costing me a fortune, the Z fund is very healthy at minute but can't find any sports seats

I was flicking through pictures the other day of mine and i went from an as now to an as brought and the difference is astounding.
These cars have the ability to draw you in, i think its all to do with the community they bring with them.it opens the eyes to whats possible and as so many options are available it gets the mind going and once you start you aim for the picture in your mind .
Appreciate the work you have put in and waiting for its new suspension pics and its new stance

 

[t-tony]

I just made a sale and now looking for a nice front splitter maybe ....................... but then again the steering wheel might get the Royal's treatment. Decisions, decisions.

That's a good idea Ant, I think. Here's mine the night I brought it home.

And then there's now ............

I think you can see where I've been, in what, 9 months?

Tony.

 

[Antm72]

You've been polishing that.!
I remember bumping into the guy at our meet that owned Seans car before he brought it now thats a change !!

 

[t-tony]

The owner wouldn't recognise it now mate, neither I suspect would the previous owner of your car. Like chalk and cheese.

Tony.

 

[Sean d]

Wow, I love the before and after pics guys, the changes are astonishing

 

[t-tony]

Amazing what you can do with a little time and no money, eh mate?

Tony.

Fitted a new passenger seat belt today, what a game that was !! full rear trim and both hoops had to be removed, I also fabricated a seat lift kit and raised the front of my seat by 20mm, and it feels loads better, not only does it support the legs but gives a lot better driving position.

 

[Antm72]

Sounds a day well spent.As im not the tallest of people not sure if the lift mod is of any benifit to me but an interesting mod...

@Sean d what did you do to the seat I'm interested in doing something like that.

 

[Sean d]

@Sean d what did you do to the seat I'm interested in doing something like that.

I welded 2x 8mm nuts together and then welded a threaded stud on top, this then fits to the original stud and the seat mounting sits on top.
