It was mine!

I'm really glad to see its gone to someone who can realise its potential, even if I could have kept it on it's doubtful I would've done anything with it in all honesty.

Danny, was nice to meet you whilst you were down here mate :) glad to see you're making it your own already!
Thanks for you kind words, was a pleasure to meet you

The gearbox, having an LSD, is going to be more expensive than the non-LSD ones - again, I havben't thought of a price, so if you're interested, let me know.

:facepalm: Merlin knows that, he's just saying he like the contrast I think :lol:

I also have a full manual conversion kit and a non lsd box available btw.

If you click wanna stop those arches going, get some decent cavity wax in there asap.

So over the last few days me and a friend have been working on the bonnet. We used 600 grit wet and dry paper by hand to get the top layer of lacquer off, we then used 1000 grit paper using a machine, my mate who is also a mechanic and used to be a sprayer, sprayed the bonnet with lacquer while I was at work, I was amazed the next time I saw it.and here are the pics 8-)

Fully lacquered :mrgreen:

So so happy with it, he said he's gotta do one more thing, told me I can't wash it till he's used some flattener then Polish???
