Wiggo Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Getting closer to running. The car is completely rewired: lights, turn signals, engine, fan, alternator, ammeter, heater all done. Just got to hook up some idiot lights (more later on that, a radio and a remote trunk release. Next up: fabricate a frame to take the new (old) seats from a 1966 Daimler V8, and see if my cunning plan for a Fulton-stylee sun visor (involving two Mk6 Honda Civics) comes together...

Wiggo Posted April 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 (edited) 15x7J rears with 215/75 tyres, 15x5.5 fronts with 165/55's. Front coils dropped about 2", front bumper removed, running boards slimmed down, all fender seams faired. Some idiot put a sunroof in, but I can live with that... Edit. Ooops, the fronts are 15x4.5... Edited April 15, 2018 by Wiggo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg g Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Is you profile location not accurate? My map program shows Wokingham to Biggleswade is 75 miles, not quit two hours. The P15 Picnic is a UK event organized by member forum Robin and others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
