    Cheers guys [:D] im gonna need some luck with this...:lol:

    The only reason was the running cost mate[8(] Real shame as they are and it was a superb motor, fantastic bit of kit. It sold to the first guy to come and look at it...Cracking car.

    Im going to keep the plans quiet for now Gareth, i hate to do that, and im not doing it to purposefully keep people in suspense or anything. I just want to get going with it a bit, and see if a few things can be pulled off. Very big plans for someone such as lil old me.[:$]

    Spent a while removing everything from inside the mk1 today...New genuine front/rear panels, a wing, series 1 dash, series 2 dash, a nitrous oxide kit thats imminent on the G60, bits of interior trim etc...

    I vaccumed it out too, just for old times sake like [:$] :lol:

    Don't want to get too carried away with progress updates because it is going to be quite slow to start with...But its progress right?

    Good stuff. It will be interesting to watch for sure, once things have moved on a little:p

    Ive treated it to its first new bit in years!

    A HEATED windscreen [:D] as obviously im not going to run a heater box/set up.

    It came in a box that i could happily make a home in.

    Just managed to get the heater elements to show up (in red area) they are very fine. Very happy with it.
