little update, had a good day on friday, went to pick up two front wings and nose from a martini these two guys had broken up. picked up wing mirrors, a head and fuse box. Whilst I was there I made a deal for the seats out of it which are sooooooo much better than mine!!!! Everytime I try to take a pic of my dog she wont let me, couldnt take a photo of the bits without her in it silly doggy!!!    Just got to put it all togeather now!!!!! Take it easy all!!! |

Tis a very nice interior, I resorted to the sewing machine to fix mine (with the help of SWMBO).
Really like the stripes as well, sort the retro looks well.
Were these intended to be a bit more basic for speed - you seem to be missing the cassette box on centre tunnel and have the plastic gear gaiter rather than leather - what's the wheel -plastic as well?

well got a little done today started off by bolting up the left wing just to see how it looks, oooo pooslight colour fade  Any tips on getting the cars paint to shine again would be so great right now! hope to not have to paint  tried white t cut it started to make a little difference but not much.  front seats out  nice bit of mold on the rear seats, the sunroof is letting water in so untill I sort that the cleaned up carpet and new seats arent going anywhere near it!!!  back seats out carpet lifted out  chufted with the floor very very solid, centre dash bit out aswell  and another view  happy that is very solid just wondering now if the paint can be revived?  any help/ideas plz!!! thanks in advance |

just wondering now if the paint can be revived? any help/ideas plz!!! thanks in advance i'm no expert and it might just be my eyes,but .. it looks to me like the wing is basically just a different shade of white rather than the rest of the car fading.. could the car that you took the wing off not just have had a respray in a slightly brighter shade of white than yours ?? cool car though.. |

looks like its been painted in base white, the white all others are derive from. also the black smoke and air filter oil supply sounds like the remnants of an oil surge, happens sometomes after very hard cornering forces oil up the bock breather and into the air filter housing. give it a good clean out , loads of carb cleaner down the throttle body and hope for the best. ask me how i know  ;D |

cool tips, funny how I only thought the wing could be the odd one out! got to get some paint for the nose anyhow, got the right code it should be so ill spray that up and see what happens, could the oil and its affects still be there after 16 years of no use mrstigma?
Cheers dudes!!!
