Without looks cool, but it makes the car look unfinished (in a cool way though!)

I'd say with a grille but make sure you get one of the cheap lightweight ones; the 'quality' ones weight an absolute tonne

With a MK1 Grille & tash!

Hadn't really thought about a mk1 grille, think that would look the best. The back of whatever grille goes on will be made from ally and very holey *happy*

Finally think I've found the source of this annoying knocking noise it makes after a couple of miles driving.. Here's hoping it cures the dreaded knock!!

Pointless update ... The noise has been tracked down to the diff now, bedm told it vould be a broken pin on a ramp? so the motors got to come back out again!! Not seen the car since mitp.
Looks a bit worse for wear


Cheers, rich

Those driveshafts were vintage! I'll be sorting my gear selector issues out before mitp. Always forget until I'm reminded on my first run of the day.
