This was taken about the time this thread started - muddier today from state of rural Sussex roads otherwise unchanged. As well as the cars I've been impressed with the spacious and tidy workshops displayed.

Baggy, are those Revolution K/O wheels? Great color combo.

It looks like it did when I was 20. Actually it looks better today with my 21 year old son behind the wheel.

Hi Greg - Yes they are 'Revolutions'. I can't remember how long ago I put them on but I do remember that the original steel wheels were in poor condition and these were the only alloy wheels available/affordable at the time.
All the best

The chart probably looks pretty similar to this 1700cc Twin Cam in 26/4597

What a shame Jas, did you do the fibreglass work yourself and how did you get the front section in your country? Tell the story Jas.

And I hope you are looking after that diff.

During a track day I had a moment of too spirited driving and lost the rear end over a crest with a slight turn. I spun out and hit the armco. Luckily there was no damage to the chassis, suspension or engine only to the bodywork and my pride.

A local garage did the bodywork with a new front end, bumper and headlight pods bought from Fibreglass Services of Miles Wilkins. The shipping cost was 1/3 of the price...
The new front end wasn't a straight cut of and fibre on job, but I am pretty pleased with the result.
Now the interesting thing is how will it look in a few years time.

Yes Leslie I am looking after that diff. Thank you. It's just in for it's annual oil check:-)

I've just got my car back after a lot of work, mainly front suspension, steering, differential, inertia reel seatbelts, new wheels and tyres, and fire extinguisher system. It feels tighter and stiffer; needs tracking (booked in). Only four miles driving so far, so I'm hoping that it limbers up after a few more. I'm looking forward to using it regularly again.

I could not use my Federal locknuts with the new Panasports because the wheel brace was contacting the wheel's convex radial "arms". I've put my three-eared nuts on instead. I have Sarto's special brace so the wheels are safe.

First flurries of winter snow this morning....
