Well done Steve as it's not bad at all should make it an interested resto now

Well all Danny ranting on the other thread was for nothing Glad thats been done as the mechanics are easier to sort on these old cars.

I'd part with mine for Ł3250 if he's interested

If he doesn't like the idea of buying a set of CXN's then 3dr rims refurb'd are such a nice wheel with a 10mm spacer at the rear

Standards are good if you never decide to fit aftermarket brakes - if Steve never plans to go down that route then i say get the standards refurb'd, PRISTINE do a good job
