That's lovely and I'd love to have one just like it!

it's come a long way since I first saw it roll out of that little garage, it's amazing what a bit of tidying can do

Gave it a good wash and wax today since the weather was nice, it's really starting to look quite respectable. As well as the wheeltrims, i've replaced the grubby cracked indicator lenses with some brand new replacements, it's the little things that make the difference..

Calling Ryan.

Have you seen these two listings?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-3-AUSTIN-RO ... 25a22b5a78

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROVER-800-MK1 ... 487c099571

Also this could be a short bumper. My Se is 1989 with short bumpers and this bumper,from the picture, looks the same.

Good spot! it's the front bumper I need though, I think Tim has one going spare?

cheers for letting me know, I'll see if I can haggle those wheeltrims down a bit, they will need a bit of work but might turn out ok

a few updates since my last post, I've finally updated the stereo and replaced the speakers (I'll do a seperate thread on that in the correct section)

Here it is, it sounds as awesome as it looks

We had to mount the amp behind the glovebox..

Image

I love 80's tech so much...

Image

I spent today giving the interior a good shampoo, it definitely needed it...

The old boys really starting to come together now, I'm hoping to have the bodywork sorted in time for the big 3-0 next year!

That looks nice.
I see you've deployed the Hoover Aqua blaster 3000 deluxe to tackle the cleaning :wink:

POL this year?

haha Good old Aquablaster, I had a number of weapons in my armory to deploy but you can't beat it for really grubby interiors

Yes we'll be taking Gordon to POL, it's his first ever show! we'll be convoying from Cowley
