Yellow headlights??

I have to disagree there dont think they would suit the car,
Some people manage to pull the euro style headlights off but to be honest it would spoil the look of the car in my opinion.

well this is how she will look hopefully well soon did it before you pops let us know what people think

thats with spacers and a 60/40 drop

well what i thought was a 60/40

Nice one mate, that's an unusual colour too, but I like it

 

[Brummy]

Update: pics taken Sunday up at GTi Inters and on way home ..

Now dropped approx 60mm front 45mm rear , 20mm spacers on rear, rear screen de-wipered.
still a few little things I want to get sorted , but nothing too drastic now

I love it, John.

 

[Brummy]

Not far off done (if there is such a thing) now Dave

 

[AlpineWhite]

Done? Done? It is never 'done'!!

 

[Brummy]

Not that much I want to actually do to it, tbh.. theres a few little bits and bobs, but rescuing it from the crushers/scrappy was the highlight really, things Im doing now are pretty much aesthetic

 

[crezz]

good work mate, its brilliant when you see all your hard work payed of with a nice example like yours

 

[Brummy]

Its an 'honest' one Crezz.. 98K+ on the clock, its got a few dinks, a few scuffs, and the bonnet is peppered with stone-chips.. but its tidy enough

Thats how I feel about my 1.4. Isnt perfect, stone chips and a slight dent on the passenger side rear wing but I still think its tidy. Especially when its been washed and polished and wax.

[Brummy]

....making a small damp patch on the road behind your car?

 

[Brummy]

oooh yes

Actually , Dave almost made a right mess, the car was lifted on its scissor jack, then sat on adjustable axle stands.. wheel off , old back section off..then all back on, just lowering everything back to Terra Firma and one of the axle stands slipped and dug into the tarmac on the drive!! whooops! bit of a moment . Had to grab a botle jack, re-lift the car and then remove the axle stand, then reposition the scissor jack and remove the bottle jack.

* makes mental note, Really need to get a proper trolly jack.*

Sounds like you had a narrow escape there. Well done.

Do invest in a trolley Jack. they are well worth it.
