    Dunno, not many on ebay being broken, and I'm wary of going down that route. Only one deck autotrader, and one on ebay, but doesn't feel right killing another to keep mine if you know what I mean. If there was a Pb one with a blown engine or something then it would be an easier decision.

    Think I'm too far in to turn back now.. Means my painting plans are going to have to be scaled right back though. Might ask depend on what bits I can still buy and what they can fabricate. Things like the cross member, if I can get one that the suspension etc still fits to, but needs a bit of butchering to fit to the car, then that might be what has to happen.

    Not a good advert for the work of the place. You can't just paint over rust or weld new to rusty.

    Shocking... The pics say it all Bloody dangerous to say that's been fixed
  5. dr_broon
    Yeah, that's the one.

    The old girl is not in a happy state. Work that the last place did needs redoing, and much more. I'm waiting to find out a list of unicorn parts that I need to find. One thing that it needs is the rear cross member, which is discontinued. I'm wondering whether a dc2 / eg one would do the job because of braces etc fitting. @KiNK43 would you know from your eg days?

    Seats look nice mate

    Had a call from the new garage who've basically condemned what was done before, and said it needs thousands spending and that they don't think it's worth it. Going down to take a look.

    Hi mate, welcome along. There's some definite handling improvements to be had, but I think that the choices are pretty limited now. A popular upgrade used to be mgzs shocks and springs, but they're probably quite thin on the ground now as decent second hand options. I've got eibach springs and koni shocks on my aerodeck, and you can still buy the springs (I did a couple of months ago as two of mine had snapped from the car being stood to long), but I haven't been able to find the shocks anymore, so koni may not make them anymore. Koni used to do a sport kit with springs and shocks. For mapping, you'll need to swap the ecu as the standard one is not able to be chipped.

    Good news mate - pleased that she's up and running

    Was just reading this on top gear. Think that this sort of product is going to be more common. https://www.topgear.com/car-news/electric/what-would-you-do-107bhp-crate-electric-motor I bet ecu modification suddenly becomes more complicated though... Especially if you want a motor for each rear wheel

    That should be good mate. I love Donnington - saw the moto GP there a couple of times. Would be my first choice for a track day. She's Definitely got her mouth wide open with that new bumper on... That should get plenty of air in. Will you be putting any kind of lip on?

    Actually quite excited now. These guys sound like they know their stuff, and are keen to get it turned around... Might get it back on the road soon
  14. dr_broon
    Back of the net. Found somewhere that can get it done now... Look like a good fit. https://www.classicandretroautos.co.uk/home.html Don't know how I haven't seen them before, they're only about 10 miles away. They can get it picked up fairly soon Hope that this works out okay.

    Yeah, needs it for the mot. If I can't get something sorted I'm wanting her back here like you say. Then at least anything that happens is on my watch.

    Not much of an update, but I have made a decision. I've got somewhere I'm going to call tomorrow to see about getting the welding done (and maybe paint), and if it's going to be a while (or I can't get an answer) I'm going to get tubs back home so at least I can move a couple of things on while I'm waiting for life to restart.
