Only the best quality body works... Which continues to the floor pans... what you may or may not be able to see is there is a new one at some point just siliconed underneath the old perforated one! Boy do they know how to repair a car! taunting me from the kitchen.... Anyway, enough with the thread jack, I just thought I'd keep PFA informed as to Tom's barn find #1 ... I don't know if I am going to start a build thread or not, because I have too many other life projects going on at the moment! But all in all, its pretty good canvas for what I wanna do with it. K, sounds like a great project for Jeff, just drop it off in Bowral, come back 6 months later & hey presto, new car!

Coastr Posted 11January, 2018 Report Share Posted 11January, 2018 I would say the evidence suggests you can import engineless cars! turboT, edgy and MFX 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tow car was originally ordered to match my old GT3... alas the Lapis is my current one, nearly changed the order to dark blue! 42 minutes ago, GC9911 said: K, sounds like a great project for Jeff, just drop it off in Bowral, come back 6 months later & hey presto, new car!

I just thought it had to be a complete original car. I assume it can be fully registered in the future, assuming you put a 4 pot back in it?

Damienb Posted 31July, 2018 Report Share Posted 31July, 2018 Hi Turbo, loving this car!! I just noticed your post about Nurburgring seats. I've got these clogging up my dining room which will probably be posted in the For Sale thread soon. Black leatherette and corduroy. I would need to investigate exactly what they are, but let me know if interested. clutch-monkey, MFX and LeeM 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damienb Posted 2August, 2018 Report Share Posted 2August, 2018 Ooh yes, they look perfect. Leather and grommets raise the bar noticeably in terms of cabin ambience too. Good eye Lee - mine are Cobra classics, should have looked at the label on the bottom first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're the same name, though the RS are the corduroy ones. PM me a price and I'll see what I can do to move them for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
