Well i have been restoring my car for a long time now (3years to the month, through uni finals and running a UK Formula Student team away from home) but am now coming towards the end!
I haven't added a resto thread yet but will get round to it at some point. Until then enjoy the fruits of a couple of before and almost finished pics... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) As bought in Sept 2007, commence daily driver routine... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i285.photobucket.com-8136-1273096595.1.jpg) ...for 50 miles before the engine gave up (excessive end float) engine rebuilt on another GB case we had in the shed! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i285.photobucket.com-8136-1273096595.2.jpg) May 2007, might just touch up the paint job as it is a bit tired... error!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i285.photobucket.com-8136-1273096596.3.jpg) Rust issues...

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i285.photobucket.com-8136-1273096598.7.jpg) Add new discs and bearings everything else recycled with a bit of love (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i285.photobucket.com-8136-1273096599.8.jpg) Same on the front, only replating was not done by me (i did try though)! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i285.photobucket.com-8136-1273096599.9.jpg) Looking good underneath, shame no-one will see it. Same on the underside!

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i285.photobucket.com-8136-1273096601.12.jpg) Nearly there, i'm quite excited.
