Denny - how is yours coming along at the mo?

K

All up and running again mate sills have been repaired and fully rust proofed , power steering is fitted and working perfectly , got to sort my suspension out though, i think the rear springs have gone weak so im hitting bumpstops on bumpy roads , see the pics a bit further up to see what it currently looks like , im just waiting on this now

independent look instrument cluster (not the dial faces)

Well, as there are a few on here I recognise, I don't see why Lucy shouldn't get in on the act...

Hello Mr Hovis

[DennisTheMenace]

The panel is made by KG Works , it does look fantastic in the car , ive still got my original dials though , wouldnt mind some AWD's but they arent cheap !
heres the ones fitted to mine

[DennisTheMenace]

Few more of Kermit (Not allowed to call him Snot rocket anymore )

[DennisTheMenace]

Wow stunning scenery

[DennisTheMenace]

All ive got is bloody fog and tractors
at least it makes the monster truck ride height look like i need it

Kinky , How could you sell !!!!

This is one car ive got attached to and something would have to go very badly wrong for me to part company with it , most other cars esp new ones are just boring in comparison ,

[DennisTheMenace]

Cool , when the weather is a bit warmer mate i will pop up

Need to get my suspension swapped over and replacement engine in soon , although the old chaps running well at the mo

[DennisTheMenace]

Its made by KG works and is the independent look instrument binnacle
still got my original dial faces but im trying to find some nice replacements , came across the dash and my wheels by luck when i needed a power steering bracket .
heres the panel with standard dials in me car

and a genral interior with the timber wheel etc....


looking to get some more retro look syuff in the car , i like the quilted deck cover for the rear shelf and behind the seats and centre console , but i'll be buggered if i can find some

[DennisTheMenace]

Agree with sir kinky ...

Lovely looking mx , keep it standard looking and supercharge it

[DennisTheMenace]

A quick Barp
Have you got all the electric windows on yours ?

[DennisTheMenace]

That'll be an 1.8i then snot an S i did have no PAS but decided to get it , marginal loss in feedback but a damn sight easier to throw about !

Like the headlights!

Are you planning to get rid of the fried eye indicators?

Phill if you look at me nose on pic i donre mine a while back , it requires very hot water time and a good dose of silicone to reseal , managed to get some of those chrome type bulbs , looks loads better

[DennisTheMenace]

Lowered and a gold Stripe in the groove running around the car

[DennisTheMenace]

Nah , run over that in the vectra .....
