[1987_ParkLane]

Hi all,
Finally got my '87 Park Lane home, even though I can't drive it yet ,but hopefully soon to be drivable. Any way, me and my mate (1275 SPRITE) and his dad drove over in, got all the stuff together and towed it back. Then the work began...needed new rear wheel cylinders, one of the new ones was broke, so put the other new one on and then found out the other one was fine. New bonnet fitted, looking good, so after most of the work was done and before the light went, we decided to get a few pictures of the two beasts together.

Let us know what you think.

Cheers

Hey man looks nice!

Himley Hall was such a good show, shame you didn't go.

I had to make the 80 odd mile trip down without indicators or brake lights .

Probably start seeing you around in this then .

Yeah It was going around a roundabout somewhere..

Nah I am, It's my birthday next week so I'll hopefully be getting some nice things for my mini and some money, so I'll be ordering one of those soon.

Who owns the 1275 sprite?

I think there is another event near Derbyshire in September, apart from that I'll be up for crewing around the back country lanes some day.
