Gordini 3 spokes are the wrong pcd, don't think they would work either. 13s are way too small for this. Everyday's a school day! What ever you decide sure it will look rather spiffing - when does your delivery of hooped jumpers and beret's arrive? P. At that same time as my knuckle duster knife gun for that proper Parisian gangster authentic look

Cheers all (y) Travel is severely restricted obviously but i pretty much use this over the other cars at every given opportunity ran out of bread before the next delivery.... ill go grab a baguette greencarfritz very valid point on the wheels i did have reservations with the VW wheel, itd be very different and would kind of make it look like it was a beetle underneath which it isnt, the wheels on there are already very unique.

I'm in need of a a spray sealer or cavity sealer. There are a few places I cant get too with a brush and would like to make sure they stay solid in the future. Mainly down the interior panelling into the sill area Any advice/recommendations?

managed to get a couple of coats of por15 on so it should all be sealed up now. Weather forecast shows some heavy rain tomorrow so I might be able to locate leaks a little easier. I'm expecting a few due to it having old window seals and the door seals being the wrong ones but I will be able to see where I need to work on a little easier with the back seats out.

Maybe, its bad enough to stain the fabric too so might of been damp on the back panel thats then pulled the rust colour through the fabric? once its sealed up with por15 ill get the hose out and check it out. That said now its painted I kind of like it with the back seats out, they were never really useable as the front seats are pretty much against them.
I think you are right, adding a few inches to the rear wheels should be my next proper spend/job on the car.

Any closer to a change of wheels? I really like this - erm.. yeah. P. not yet, though it seems small its quite a big decision on what to do, band the rears... band all of them... pcd swap and fit something completely different? i just don't know as it will change the whole look of the car

This looks absolutely brilliant, great work! Would you please share a link for that night heater, I have found two very similar ones on ebay I assume it was one of those!? Thanks www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154235500402 that's the one from my purchase list, though the price is up £20 so maybe try offering them £79.99

I had it all running for a while afterwards to give the battery a little boost and couldn't see any leaks so i think i may have just gotten away with it. Fingers crossed.
