Most of you will know i purchased Mikes Saloon, its a lovely car and a very well done to him for keeping it in such good condition!
My only plan with this car at the minute is to get it to tip top condition.
Anyway a thread is rubbish with out pics even if there rubbish pics it still counts! ill get some good ones soon, all ive done so far is bumper vents but ive got extra gauges and more in mind.

Hi Theo.
Car looks a cracker. I am shure you will dress it in the right kit.
Cheers Mark.

mmmm that is sexy. I'm getting hard, show me the engine!!!

Guard it with your life, I tried and failed to get either a battery or bulb for mine

That car must be in with a good chance the best original condition prize (if there was such a thing)

Really? How 'ard did you try? Well 'ard?

Well, Maplins couldn't help me.

Anyone else got any?

Maplins - a shop with big windows (so they can see you coming)

Plenty of batteries on fleabay look up type: V625U / 625 / PX625 / PX13 / L1560 / PX625A / LR9.

Bulbs were used on BMW fobs, Ford, Vauxhall/Opel.

It's a 1.5V 0.135W midget flange bulb (with a wee lens built in the tip) - Vauxhall 24 90349349 20 98 311 or BMW 51 21 1 935 001. Nearest aftermarket I've spotted is 1.2 300mA, not sure if it has the lens end. I'd guess it'd be a couple of quid.

Edit: I can get the bulb in quantities, which I might just do.

Stunning saloon mate, wish I could find a decent saloon around here

towbar- yey or ney????

towbar? yea! towbay? nay!

Stunner. In the correct colour too

really liking the shape of the saloon more and more.
theres just one thing i hate about GLT's and its the stupid big chunkey trim on the doors but i dont want to take it off cause this cars too original and ive heard there pretty hard to get off.

also i would like to lower it and put it one some nice wheels but i dont want to ruin it! i guess all of these thing are returnable tho.

give me your opinions please

You could fit some lowering springs and blocks and keep the old springs. Pretty easy to swap out IMO.

Yeah ill probably lower it sometime, but I don't think ill take off the trim unless I get some.of.my other doors sprayed silver
