Of course, for real '70s coolness, you need to crack open an 8 track and hide an iPod and a tape adaptor in it. Or just use an 8-track. I even had some Pink Floyd on mine! (But also more Mantovani than any person needs to hear). I have plans for exactly the above for my K70. I have the 8 track player, need to get a cassette. I've got access to touch screens and LCDs in work, was really tempted create a hidden mini PC HU in the 8 track cassette to access a remote Ipod.

Didn't Ash from Army of Darkness roll one of these? That alone = Win.
Or was it a delta 88?

Forgot to mention the highlight of taking out the rear seat, from 1946!

Big weekend working on the K70, Finished drivers floor, OS inner wheel arch, OS chassis rail, fitted OS wing back on, cleaned up welds, de-rusted drivers door, POR15, fixed OS doors alignment. Then, I fixed the drivers seat so the cover was attached to the base again. Thought I would make a start on the back "half" of the car. Took out rear seat squab and back. More rust. Yay. Stripped of the bitumen from under the seat and footwells. More rust. Also found that this Is mostly filler. the chunk missing came out in one lump. Mojo lost. retreated indoors.

Wonder if you can make it adjustable on the fly?

I had a SLK 230K for a while, I liked it when I first drove it, but then started to hate it in the end. It sounded ok when booting it, but the handling was a little dead and lacked feel. I never thought I was going to fall off the road in it, but you never got any feedback on what was going on.
Was going to suggest a set of cosmics, but they are only 15" in 5x112pcd

I think I will have to move back to the US, find a job there and make this my daily? Maybe change the steering and road wheels.
who votes yes?

You will get used to it quickly, and overtaking is something to be approached with caution, but is not impossible at all. I found that (and still do) car parks were my fail area. Growing up driving on the right and then moving here with a left hooker probably didn't help that....

Rather than sort out all the links again, I've created a new album with larger pics if anyone would like to see! s736.photobucket.com/albums/xx6/D_R_Payne/LargeK70/and while I'm at it, I will show you the next project... 2 owners, 152000 miles, needs a little patching here and there but an absolute hoot on a wet road. there is also a little helper too.
