I have come to the conclusion you have far too much time, money and most jealous of all, space.

was £300
but that came with a set of period accurate original seats that cost the previous owner £300 on their own :lol:
he didnt want to sell it but his wife made him so i jumped at the opportunity.
i had it running within the day and after fitting a throttle cable ive had it driving and it all works surprisingly well :lol:

all it needs is floor pans and heater channels replacing and it will be practically done(apart from the birds nest wiring thats in it :lol: )
