Got my new reg plate on the latest purchase, a 3dr Cossie Replica 24v - New Wheels
Got a few more mods to do so should end up looking rather well
Not a bad 40th birthday present to myself lol
Gutted its an early shell so has the narrow gearbox tunnel - unfortunately I cannot fit my hybrid MT75 box so will have to stick with the wanky Type9 for now.
Plan now is to get it up to standard and enjoy for the Summer whilst I get the Saph 24v'd with the now spare hybrid box. Once that is done, the 3dr will be coming off the road for a bigger tunnel and most likely my YB and T5 box running on Omex management.

Plate looks great
I went over my rear lights with 2000 grit wet and dry with plenty of fairy liquid in the water.
G3 compound afterwards and they came up like new

Yes I know Pete very well. The interior out this car is from one of my old 3drs as I sold him a load of parts years ago when that car got stripped

I was chatting to him the other night about his new car.
I just hope you don't get as many negative comments as he did.

Jim managed to get the wheels on, however there is an issue with the center caps not fitting and a couple of other mods required for the front wheels to sit where they should but im sure it will be sorted.
Looks pretty good on those wheels
