The Vee is SORN'd, Craig..

Yeah it's tucked up in bed now for a bit so I won't be able to make it.

I thought I'd update this post as it shows the progress since I purchased it.

She was resprayed the end of last year which turned out really nice. (I only have iPhone photos I'm Afraid)

I put a Ducktail spoiler on it which I sort of like for the moment, it's only a 15 min job to swap it over when I get bored with it.

Right now it is with Mark Fish having a new cambelt, auxiliaries, tensioners, water pump, sump gasket, clutch kit, gearbox oil, air con re-gas, service, inspection and MOT.

Lovely!

I bet thats costing a bob or two mate, i lile the duck tail spoiler, that rear pic looks awesome!

 

[R-Sport.]

Great spoiler

 

[Knuckles]

It must be awful to see the engine not where it should be lol

Thanks, it's hard to justify spending that much on something you don't actually see when the Mrs wants stuff done on the house.

When I asked Mark to send some progress photos he said "I'll warn you it's quite scary".
TBH I'll be glad when it's back in one piece.

Beautiful v6! I like the ducktail too, makes the back end less 'standard'.
It's amazing and I bet scary seeing the engine there. It might just be me but I had to double take at the clutch, the idiot in me thought it would be bigger. Never mind.

I picked her up from Mark yesterday and had a nice little blast down the M25 then through the lanes in Billericay.
She drove amazing, the family will be eating Lentils for the next few months to pay for it but it was worth it.

looks epic love it!!

 

[Pep]

Great work, looks great!
Love these cars, really miss my ph2.

 

[RSsprint]

I put the standard ph1 lights back on, I'm glad I did now.
A few pics from yesterday.

 

[cat171]

Nah, they're too boring for me mate.

 

[RSsprint]

I had loads of work done again on the old girl.

First off was a trip to Scott for a full service, cambelt and some other bits.

Then off to the body shop for some tidying up and a full detail with ceramic coating.

The whole interior came out to access the radio surround trim and paint all the bits inside.

[Matt Cup]

That looks phenomenal!

 

[Stefan.]

Lovely work!!

 

[rctempire]

That looks excellent.

 

[Darren S]

Good stuff!

You know you've got an 'old' car when it still has a CD player in it.

Looking good mate! (I've not been on here for ages & wasn't sure if you still had it!)
My radio surround has gone like that too, and the tunnel cover is a bit sticky. Mine's currently in hibernation, but once I get it back out again (sometime) I'm going to get those bits done.

Mine still has the original tape player in it lol!!! But with a changer under the seat. I've never bothered changing anything.

I’ve not really been on much either mate.

Be prepared for a lot of work and a lot of swearing to get the surround out, literally the whole front came out including steering rack, it was a proper mission.

But it’s so worth it, it makes the inside so much nicer with that, the centre console/turret and handles done.
