    Default Ted's 2 Door Saloon

    So I recently bought this lovely little 2 door saloon.
    It arrived 4 days before PVS so I haven't done much as of yet but hope to get a great deal done in the future.

    All I had time to do before PVS was clean bits up and fit a few shiny things I had knocking around

    The engine bay is very tidy in terms of being rust free and paint work is spot on with no leaks anywhere.
    So I decided to clean it up to show how tidy it truly is, this included fitting a few shiny things

    Machine polished rocker cover fitted with hand polished oil filler cap.


    Polished K&N Air filter fitted, love the sound of the carb now its unrestricted :D


    Polished strut brace fitted too.

    This arrived shortly after PVS


    Some say it's a good idea and some are saying it's completely useless.
    I'm basically a magpie and like shiny clean things so it's going on ::

    I couldn't fit the oil catch tank where I originally wanted so modification to a fixing plate was needed, with a hammer

    Bath tap rubber washer used to protect the paint on the firewall


    Fitted with a lucky guess on thread size of bolts that stick out of the firewall.


    Breather hose on


    ...and with about 3mm clearance from strut brace with no movement (or vibration) whilst running, bobs your uncle
