Hey buddy,

 

Just give me a shout when you want some help, no problem at all. I will make sure I save the rear panel for you when I start the strip on the auto. Pop round anytime for a brew, I'm about most weekends mate. I still have your number (if it's not changed), and my landline is 01842 890373, I think you've got my mobile.

 

Speak soon.

Excellent matey................ U R a true friend........

 

I am gonna fire the old girl up tomorrow, if she starts I might pop over, if you are in ;) If not, I will come over next Sat or Sun matey.

 

Cheers Tony.......

Sorry to hijack the thread, but where abouts are you two. I'm at Swaffham (lucky me). Fired mine up today, first time since November, fired straight away. Running good :o

A half hour blast about and the addiction is back!!! Now upstairs attempting to leather the interior panels. :)

Hey up buddy,

 

We are both just outside thetford. How are you getting on with the targa's mate? When Big Al comes round, you should as well, have a brew and a chat, mini meet.

 

How's the re-trim going? I've done a few now, are you using a kit (pre cut) or cutting out the patterns yourself?

That sounds good, retrim is slow, panels have been trimmed before and its taking just as long to clean the panels up as it is to recover them. I'm cutting the patterns myself, managed to buy a full hide (fairly cheap, I think) from a guy 5 minutes away. Hardest panels so far are the two between the centre console and the dash. Quite a strech on the leather. But bit by bit getting there. Did you buy a kit??

No mate, always off the roll. Couple of tips for you; hot air gun and poundland super glue. Helps when you need to soften the leather, stretch it in place and get it to stay there. Good luck buddy.

Thanks for that, now wheres my heat gun?? ;)

Well.... I fired the girl up today, a bit grumbly, but ok, so took for a spin.... OMG!!!! I have forgotton how fast these little beauts are....

 

She is missing a little under no load, but fine under boost. I am off next weekend mate, if you are around I will come over.

Yes mate, I'm sure I will be about sorting my old girl out ready to get back on the road, MOT & Tax time again. Good that your beast fired up after a while of no activity and yes it's easy to forget why we love these cars......SPEED!!!

 

Let me know matey, have a good week.

Will do Tony........ C u next weekend.

 

Evilanger... Fancy coming over next Sunday mate?

 

Cheers,

Hi Alan, sounds good for next Sunday, although still not 100% on it. It would be really good to meet up with some other zeds!! I haven't seen another since I bought mine (1 and a half years ago!!!!). I'll let you know about next Sunday though, what sort of time are you thinking?

Any news on what sort of time you are meeting up??

Hey up evil..., I've not heard from Big Al yet. Keep an eye on the forum for an update matey.

Ok, will do.
