Three spokes are nice but I do love the Speedlines and the ride is way more comfier on the three spokes, even if it is lowered 60mm.
As the above lads said, its not for sale. Thanks for the interest.
Doubt I will sell for a very long time, I will just keep maintaining and enjoying it.
So I finally got around to changing the radiator for a genuine Valeo. Very surprisingly when I took it out there was very little sludge and rust in it. However as can be seen from the photos it was on its last legs. The rust was pretty substantial on the outside.
So I removed the old rad and cleaned down and freshened up the fan and cowl. All bolts were also cleaned up. I also got hold of some new radiator clips, which kept with the clean look as the old were well past it.
Gave the cross member a good clean and polish and no rust to be seen, just need to get the tie bar bolts and nuts and in fact all the bolts underneath her cleaned up.
Got the rad in hassle free and with no scratches. Filled her up with some nice red coolant and that was that.
Next job on the list is to get the fuel tank out, cleaned up and sprayed silver.

I have a set of B4's to go on mine as well in the near future. Not expecting anything too spectacular but for what they cost with the Bilstien name on them you can not argue and may as well fit them over standard parts.
Nice update Murph -New radiator has freshened up the front end somewhat!
Ta the B4's are not a bad upgrade at all for the standard look. The ride is far more comfier even with the drop when compared to the Gaz coilovers. I do however love them and the Speedlines.
Cheers for the comments, it freshened it up nicely.
Would like to get all the running gear powder coated and bolts and nuts plated. Its a never ending road to be honest
Well got a few more bits for the Nova done.
Got the new GSi door handles on. Such a difference in the colour as over the years they have fairly faded.
Also got my a new horn as one of them failed and got a new fuel cap for it as well.
Lastly got the radiator sticker on. Thanks numptysport for that.
Am debating about putting of the rear round Griffin badge instead of the current square one?
Also put her on the sofstars for a change
