I now have two! Yayayayay! :thumbs:
Thanks to Gary (quest) I'm now the proud owner of two of the wee beasts.
And a packet of Eccles cakes.
Haven't really done anything to it besides calling it Reggie (couldn't cope with Eugene, sorry Questy!).
Whipped out the headlining and pillar trims and recovered them in black faux suede type stuff, but so far haven't even managed to get a pic of what it looks like fitted yet.
The interior is alchemy, but long run I'm after gettin the interior from a Thunder and a pair of sports seats to replace the fronts. I've got black wrap for the roof and a shark fin antenna but haven't had the time or weather to put them on.
Eventually I will get round to moving parts over from Puma, but I don't have space to work on two cars, and I'm after altering what I have anyway. I want my brakes overhauled and coated professionally (assuming I keep the ST170 set up, which I think are quite heavy, although I couldn't believe the diffrence going back to standard brakes. A couple of shocks first few times I stamped on the brake in Reggie :lol: ). Also thinking of going down to 16s rather than the 17s that I'm running. I do like the big wheels on it, but the roads up my way are SO BLOODY AWFUL that I think the extra bit of tyre would be more suitable for daily running. My coilies need rebuilt as well. FRP air box mod and blah-de-blah-de-blah.
Hopefully be able to start working on bits and pieces some time after New Year. Started my wee listies to try to keep track of progress. If there is any.. I've no doubts I will add more wishes as time goes on..
