13.95 1/4 mile on a 2.95 fd. Carnt be that hard to beat!

Clubby looks hard as.. love it

like the clubby with the oil cooler poking out the bottom

Glad you made it back home safe Eden and that you're happy with Mum's Clubby Estate. Just bloody lucky the hose didn't go on the trip home. Good little project for you to get your teeth into

Your saloon looks hard as nails. Good contrast to the Estate !

Good luck with yer future Clubby Luvvin ! Pleasure doing business with you nd Mums glad the Estate's gone to a good home

The turbo looks mean. I like it.

Can I ask where you got your seat retrimmed. I fancy doing mine as they are getting tatty.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

nice couple of projects - have you any plans for the estate or are you keeping as is?

seat was retrimed by my granddad in Leicestershire, not cheap tho as its a difficult seat to cover. unless you want your own 1 off's your better off getting brand new. mines a fiberglass one so he had to soew the elastic into it to hold it to the base.

going to keep the estate as is for now, just gunna give it some much needed tlc

yeah very happy rich, thanks again and thank you mum too, cheers

the estate has started to hate me. the light switch is playing up, the get out handle no longer works so i have to wind down the window and its now smoking quite bad on start up. so will have to take the head off to change those stem seals just as rich informed me haha.

Glad to see you're making use of the good weather and cracking on with the saloon.

Did you fix the estate's head ? Was it warped as well as requiring stem seals ?

Looks mean as!

I'd try to get the main Live cable away from the intercooler a bit. It wouldn't be good if it rubs the insulation away.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

cheers

it doesent touch and both cooler and cable are held firmly in place
