Sure is matey.she sure looks worth it tho

Got back with Rsty yesterday but had to much to do so couldnt post

Have to say it was worth all the wait and effort (that spesh put in)

Would like thank the man himself for doing it (mate that drove me up is gobsmacked by it in the flesh, gave him an idea of cost and said would be money well spent at twice that) special k.

I know its not been the easiest job he undertaken for various reasons but he certainly has come through for me.cheers mate .the standard of work and commitment to a spot on job is unrivalled, end of.....

Oh and speshs mum for the tea n pizzas

I would also like to thank the chap that put me I touch with spesh , without having met him Rsty would not hqve gone up to spesh and have been transformed, thanks Beef ya salad dodger

Anyway good luck with ya next one spesh and I'll see ya soon with Rsty in 600 miles at the mappers

Just realised its almost 2yrs since ive done anything with this thread.

Not much has changed with RSty apart from tryi g to drive it a bit more last year , i sorted a rosejointed alternator adjuster meaning i dont risk chipping ant paint on the block etc ..lol




I knownit looks like its on the wonk but it isnt




Also managed to source a 17" set of these in the correct et,never seen another set (though i know i shall be proved wrong !!! ).being refurbed and picking up Saturday




Searched all over for ages a set of borbet flat caps then went on Amazon and found them in 5 mins

Also got a battery consitioner at the NEC classic car show and installed it into the loom with braided cover and evryfink ....
