Re: Red1's red one

Thanks Dave, I will bear all that in mind.

Strip panels - as in post 96 leather seats with "strips" as opposed to pre 96 flat panel leather. Sorry prob don't know the proper word for what I am trying to refer to!

By the way just looking back at the start of this thread because of Mr Fastback's comments, I see that the old photobucket pics are displaying again. Have they reversed the previous money grab attempt?

Cheers Mark, not quite a daily driver but not exactly 100% as cosseted as I would like all the time either.

Mk1 820 coolant pipes

Re: Mk1 Windscreen Scuttle Panel
