Hi Folks, This is my latest purchase. It's a bit rough round the edges but with some work it'll do the job nicely. Pics of it as it was when I got it :    I picked up a set of P slots and have started refurbing them myself (Done 3 so far). So with a clean and a polish she now looks like this:   Future plans are: * Lower 40 or 60mm, maybe coillies * Full stainless exhaust * 2.0 bottom end * Big valve ported and polished head Other than that I want her to look as standard and period as possible.

I'm liking the small bumper cars more and more. Big bumper style has been done to death now.

This car is now essentially original except the boot has been replaced at somepoint and it's missing the black sticker round the glass. I'm hopefully gettin gone of these in the next couple of months. Nick |

Small bumper cars are the way forward, I just love the fat splitter they have on the bottom of the front panel. Dump it over the P-slot and I'll be very jealous Good work! |

I was going to pm you about a set of P-slots I found for sale but you're sorted  Lovely golf that is, I recon a subtle drop (40mm) just to get it looking sensible, then leave the exterior and get under the bonnet! Are you going to Oxford Edition with it? If so i'll have to take a peek ;D |
