Sounds good glad to hear he is all on the road again :) I have just bought a Clubby estate :) hope it looks half way as good as this one once I have paided it..
 
You ever get pulled for your wheels like that? looks the tits but can see a copper having a moan only reason I ask is I have a simular set up in mind??


Thank you for your kind words :)

Never once had an issue, the tread hardly sticks out, especially on those Yokos, although they are 165s as the falcons were previous, they really do appear slimmer. With some camber too. Negative 2 degrees I run. They are fine :)

I now have, what I have been looking for for years.

That will fill in the remaining hole in my dash set up.....

All out of order. But I decided to spend money on gauges rather than having someone set up the suspension geometry.

And I think it's money well spent, the car handles fabulously :)

I have attended a few meets shows classic car nights.

The tour of lincs 100 was a complete wash out! My car was filthy.

Blue really hides the dirt!

As you can see the suspension is settling down nicely now.

Having just bought a house I have started to move things out of the loft.

I am thinking about have the compomotives refurbished and run them with the A032R's? Can't make my mind up if they will look right?

Crazy thread revival!

So I bought a house and am in the process of building a fairly large garage come workshop.

No these things are nearly done and the end of winter coming about, I am starting to get back into this car, it's just been left for months unfortunately.

So first thing will be sorting out the carbs and a respray.

This prompted me to look into my odd shaped toque curve. There is a thread here; http://www.theminifo...-road-read-out/ if you can provide any further comments. Please do.

Thanks

Matt

Lovely estate and build thread.

I don't suppose you want to sell the rostyles do you? Been after a set for ages.
