Finally got my new camera software on the PC... Anyway, two pics below. Since last seen, it has had loads of welding, new front wings and a new valance. The front end had been resprayed along with the rear wheel arches (after welding them up - no filler!). Oh yeah, and three coils seem to have fallen off the front coils. Not low enough, but the dampers now bottom out, so further mods required before going lower. Rear blocks and 2" exhaust to be made this weekend, as the original fell off somewhere near Torquay. MOT'd last thursday - done over 1000 miles since!

Good work Scraping! Fancy doing some work on a 120A coupe? ;D This model is known as the 610 Darren, considered to be the replacement for the 510. Cibi's lamented Bluebird is the 810 model...and I have the 910! In short..... 1967-72 510 1972-77 610 1977-80 810 1980-84 910

Apparently it's a 180b 610 too. Marvellous!

I like it! Technically still my car, as the V5 is in my name..... The interior is very amusing - for anyone not seen it, it's sort of blue nylon inserts with acres of metallic blue vinyl, with some plastic wood across the dash. All factory! And still had the original MW only pushbutton radio. SS, visit soon and I'll give you all the old papers. Also got NOS badges for it.

Nice pic's Antdat! Random heraldic swirls and inserts, just great. And like I say, the vinyl has a hint of metallic sheen to it.
Light stalk very 'amusing' - pull-pull arrangement for dip and main beam, but if you forget when you first use it and push away for main beam, you get sidelights instead. Which is great when you're on a dark road.
Antdat, I'll get in touch about the 'box.
