No no rattles at all , realy surprising as its worked out realy well i didnt think it would be still as punchy. can feel it through your seat way up front. Then when outside of the car its not asbo seeking at all Also better than that the leak for now is fixed , drove for an hour in torrential rain then again today and (touchwood) its bone dry Another wee job done and removed the oldman spec trim for some more leather effect Edited October 26, 2021 by Mickg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Love the look of the pleather. Makes a real difference to the look of the interior. Glad you seem to have sorted the leak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickg Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 No real update but i managed to find another piece of the puzzle and i beleive is now almost on par with rocking horse poop lol The paint job is shocking lots of flaking but even more shocking was when these were not in demand and vti-s were being stripped someone bought this and used a grinder to make it suit a twin tail system. Even worse tho the grinder must have had a big blade as it had went right threw. So a big missing bit underneath and the top big cuts litteraly screwed together with a bit that was cut out from underside and a load of fibre glass. Made a start in salvaging it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_broon Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Good find, even though it's been butchered! Nice one on the restoration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was very intensive trying to get one , seem pretty hard to get now Really wish i had the know how and funds to make molds of the rear valance and rear spoier to reproduce them Definitely something im going yo look into over the winter even if the rear valance is done in 3 sections the side and middle and just bond it all together maybe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a literal goldmine if some decides to start reproducing these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 There was someone on here years and years ago who was going to be doing fiberglass kits, but they disappeared off the forum. There was loads of interest back then as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
