I got them off Jimbo, where there ad been in storage for a while. Can't complain, there only cost £40. So been putting the 17's back on for now. See about sorting it tomorrow

First guess will be a Gear seletor. As 2nd and 3rd was very poor. Also with the R5 box out it's slower. Alltho 4th feel's quicker. Not done full testing yet. Also handed the key's ove to the Chunktser on here, As it's going to be is car now. Hope he got load's of money.

Well you might know about the rust on the rear arch's. So today with it been nice. I'll though i'll remove the skirt's to take a look inside. I was expecting it to be holed. but nope, there fine some suface rust. But the sill's are fine. We might change our mind now, and see about sorting the rust.
