Saw this in person today, awesome car And top bloke! Took me out in it for a blast and now i'm really tempted by the idea of an F series engine swap Hah!

[Speedy88]

Cheers Dan.

I installed a thing:


Couldn't be bothered to buy vacuum hose so I just used some old washer hose!

Then I "tested" my new tyres with a little offroading.


Tomorrow - possible lowering. At last. I'll leave you with this from my test drive today:

Econ gauge looks good, just noticed saloons don't have that vent behind the back doors like the hatches do lol

Good spot. Id never noticed that.

[Speedy88]

Took me about a year to notice the same tbh!

[MCHUDD]

Hi mate.
I didn't notice that vent thing either but i am not going to tell
anyone I would only look like a complete berk

Cheers Mark

Ok looks like I found at least one problem. Dissecting the fuel gauge brought me down to this layer:



The plastic at the bottom fell out when I took it apart, so I guess it disconnected itself. Gauge appears to work now but I have a full tank, only time will tell!

Also, STICKERS


I love stickers.

[MCHUDD]

Hi Speedy.
If your stuck for a replacement fuel gauge, give me a shout.
Cheers Mark.

Impressed speedy, never noticed how much you had done. And the colour coded bumpers really improved it!
Makes me like my loon even more.

[Steveday]

Am i right in thinking ive just spotted this car in this months Retro cars mag?
In the coverage of RRG11

Love it, amazing car

[Speedy88]

Oh really? Not bought it yet, I'll have to steal jon's or something before payday

[theo2468]

When did you change the drivers side doors?

[Speedy88]

I didn't bud, always wanted to replace the rear as it's a bit of a state but never got around to it
