image test/finally pix of the GT
Paintwork is still a work in progress, much rubbing back still required, possibly another couple of coats..not sure...
but looking quite good even this early
Yes still have to replace the chevrons on the bonnet
Still trying to source a second driving light...any offers??
I wont apologize for the fur lined dash...as the dash was WELL beyond sensible recuperation.
The car's interior is so welcoming, soft and cosy...
Not pure but smoked tail lights suit the black paint.. Keep in mind the car was 3 wheels in to the scrap yard and one on a banana peel
Looking forward to adding further refinements to this lovely classic

twas Metallic green, as are still all the door jambs and engine bay (just incase i get impulsive and throw some money at a repaint).Roverman wrote:Mk1 with A/C! what colour was it before?
The original color currently serves as the negative space pin stripes against the black. It was so faded that it was virtually silver.
but enjoying the black at the moment....as it has a very stealth look
Air cond is ridiculously good BTW

I love the look, even the furry dash
This is the 1st MK1.5 that i've ever seen
Damn fine save & a/c
Hope you manage to get to some of the shows this year, can't wait to see the car in the flesh.

All down to personal taste, yes if it was fully restored back to original then it would be nicer, however, it was a scrap car which is now saved & back on the road, so any cosmetic alterations are fine with me
