Colour looks good!!

I thought you were looking for that homely feel

Think he's looking for a shag, ...pile of course.

I managed to unscrew 3 of the 4 screws holding the plastic flap in place on the boot, dropped the screwdriver bit into the wheel well!! Went to get my emergency spare and proceeded to drop that too. Borrowed another tool off my dad, hopefully I'll get the last screw out.
Can't take the boot floor out with the lpg tank in the way! So it's a fiddle

I am looking at changing mine to red by putting it on top off the old as the original is moulded with some thick foam on the back, i may have to cut and sew a couple of bits like the front foot well as it bends up the transmistion tunnel but i recon with pulling the trims, seats and center consol it is doable
the one i am looking at is from carpetrite, looks like they may have one that would do for you, they will send you free samples so may be worth a look

Yeah I think that's too domestic.

It's just to recover the spare wheel lid as it's pretty grotty.

Give it a clean, brake cleaner works quite well if it dont work there are second hand ones on the bay.

That looks quite tidy TBF mate. Unusual wheel option. Never seen those on a P38 before.

New washer pumps all round.. And switched them back around from the bodge to pass the MOT.

She's almost 100%... And I'm debating parting company with her.

They're Hurricanes same as mine. Same colours as mine but mine has a bit more colour coding and battle damage.

I’ve got a set sat at the refurbers waiting to be collected but not sure I want to take the 16’s off?
Any advice? 18’s or 16’s?

I thought the car was faster accelerating on the 16's and the ride /steering better than the 18's.

They are actually 17" disco 3/ range rover sport wheels

i payed £160 for them with virtually brand new roadian hp 235-65 17 tires

Ride is better with the 16" but the handling is better on 18"s..

Henry_b · Mar 8, 2021

Filled mine up today "again" both tanks this time..

Also fixed my glovebox and de-rusted the frame it bolts to..

Spotted a nice epsom green one in hereford town this afternoon..

Nice looking motor.

They are quite similar with the double spoke, at the price they were a no brainer
