Yep keeping deck as well. Love it. Eg is off the road. So gonna address the issues and have it back on road in the summer I hope. Also gonna talk to a local guy later. Never met him but heard of him few times. His name is gearbox John. See what he says about renewing bearings and synchos.

@noodels Yea if ya love the car and don't have to get rid... Then probs best hang on to it. Especially if ya worked hard on it! Erm can't afford s80. Sensibly priced working s9b would be great

And I am pulling a face in that pic. I don't always look like that

Oh and for fear of sounding like a broken record.. Anyone got a gearbox for sale? Haha

Should never have sold it. Waste of time. @Grant saw it advertised and I had to have it back. Guy hasn't touched it. Exactly as I sold it him. Well.... It needs some TLC.. Service. Immediately! Exhaust has a serious rattle. Horrendous. 4th gear has a crunch at highish rpm. Struggles to start and hunts. Seems to be iacv f**ked. Hand brake pulls up about verticle. Clutch bites somewhere near my armpit. Has an odd naff tyre. What the heck toyos are like 35 quid.. No excuse. Like a weird lil dink in the drivers door jamb that has started to rust so that need attention from body shop asap. Electric windows don't work Electric mirrors don't work Soooo fair few bits to keep me busy hey. Get it back to its former self. Amazing what can happen in 7 months.

Yup

Bet grants PC is connected via cup n string

Ahhh go on then... Why the devil not. Some of you may remember me old pal...

Ooya bag any hints? Or am I late to the party as usual and missed it?

Just caught up on this and I have to say.nlooks absolutely stunning. Well impressed making your own wheels. Which I had those sorts of skills. Possibilities must be endless.

Yeah ek width fork/bush on bottom of rear shock. But the LCA is eg length. shorter than an ek. Soooo. You can use ek coilovers on stock LCA. But if you upgrade to aftermarket eg LCA. You will with have to use eg shocks as well.. Or modify the bush so its short her and ek fork will fit.

We use EG LCA. But we have Ek width shock fork/bush

Cara rolling stock bar the old filter and mg s**t. Need to do the arbs... Something has been consuming my train of thought.. Although Im not saying anymore until its a sealed deal. Decks great tho. Love the look. Just nailed down to London. Boot full. 4 adults kept up with Germans all the way down. And fuel gauge barely moved. What more can ya want.

Deck doing the family thing loaded with scooters n that!

Shame about the hg man.. But good job to get stuck into. 170k on the clock bound to have a few perturbanceS!

Oh I see. Naughty room. Woops but it was actually a phrase of shere excitement about the fog.. So was on topic

Sorry is this a saggy potato, gilf and noshing free zone? Trying to keep him on the straight and narrow

Woah tony this is going a very different direction to turtle neck. Love it. Seats are very nice!

Well blow me off! Never seen one of them before. Like it haha

Alreet guys, sorry no updates been super busy. Been driving it a lot what a great all rounder.. Keep meaning to get arbs sorted. Got loadsa bush lately

What a guy! Haha

Like it mate.. Always liked the shape.. Get some more pics up man.

16s for me muat be honest

I love an alignment. Got a bit carried before. Pretty much took my eg for alignment every time a wheel was took off.. Well not quite but youd be amazed what throws it's out.

Well done on this. Some effort gone in. Hope its paid off.
