looking good mate :cool: how did you not get paint on the lines etc?:confused:
ive tryed twice now and it takes ages to mask its driving me:mad:
Rub it alll back, etch primed then painted, once its painted i masked around the main bit surrounding the lines then rubbed it back with wet and dry on a block
I might be able to help, one of my cars has the sticker on it, can't remember which one or how good/bad it is!lolQuote:

small update,
Won these on ebay last week
http://5rgftg.bay.livefilestore.com/...rLO2/flaps.jpg
£15!! They are original early 80s mudflaps and are differnt to the ones Vaughan has won which look like these
http://5rgftg.bay.livefilestore.com/...4/Mudflaps.jpg
Had bought them for the spider but think they will look better on the sport
Well the type Vaughan has got are pretty much the same as what on my mk1 86, so im guessing the one's you bought are off a pre 80's car, possibly before a nova even?
Scott
You sure, as I stole a set off an 87 Nova I had and they were the same as Mark's?Quote:

The packaging says Nova Oct 86
Oh fair enough they must have fitted the new ones to mine then,(mines Nov 86) aint i lucky..
maybe done when in for a service, it has the wrong bumper scott? I thought all the early specs had the smoother bumper?Quote:

Scott
Yes most do, but another few strange thins were mines got mk2 style mirrors,and fuel cap, but changed the cap already, I'll leave the mirrors, i see what your saying about the bumper and if i can get an early one i will change it, as i do prefer that style more then the 87-88 SR style.Quote:

mirrors are a strange one as my b reg spider has the later style mirrors in an original 85 press picture i have of the exact car (i think it has any way, need to check)
Just checked the pic and my spider has the later mirrors,
http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showpos...29&postcount=4
Link to the post above, that pic is original and circa 1985 or 86, sadly Tom May who knew the car personaly and was director or irmscher uk has passed away or else i could of asked
That is odd, or is that because it's base on an SR and not base spec?
There is/was some strange mix in parts through the years, and most the time it was all done none intentionally.
Scott
Looking spanking mate great job so far!
Ive no idea on the mirrors as to my understanding this is also my car
http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=137956
In the pics there, although not fitted with the irmscher interior there, i understand from tom told me that the interior was done at a later date. But something is saying to me that the spider in those pics may not be mine and that may be a sport converted, see the mirror blank and the interior in the pics, if that is the case then thats 7 known rhd spiders not the 6 i understood existed? Did a 84 or 85 sr have a passenger mirror?
I know of all 6 of the spiders
B**1MWD my car i think (need to check lol)
B**2MWD autocar featured car with fiesta, location unknown (may have the 2 b reg cars the wrong way round)
E**SFK belongs to my ex
E**SFK car that was on ebay and belongs to nova13sport on here
F300PUL the car dec spotted and was on mig (i have the owners details some where)
F414EWD my stolen car
The more i think about it, the more i think that could be a sport converted as the autocar car has the differnt interior (brown tartan with red and cream) and that matches in with a recent conversation with the sales manager at steve thompson cars lichfield about them driving 3 cars over to be converted, one of which someone spun on the m1 falling asleep at the wheel but no damage done. Hmmmm im off to seek more info tomorrow!
Totaly off subject now lol so the later style mirrors could of been available on a b/c reg is what im trying to say as i think its unlikely that anyone would of changed them from new on my car? Maybe the later style mirrors got fitted as standard to SRs?
Early sr's had adjustable mirror (later style) from the start ,but on the early ones passenger was an option they never had the sport styleQuote:

hope this helps. Will check what was on 84 when I get home?
What year is yours?
Did all rhd spiders come with the full kit and injection ?
What autocar was the spider in?
Are you sure about the mirror as it looks like an sr mirror in the pics?
It doesn't look like a sport one
I got this mag today and have had a good look and it's definately an sr mirror
83 84 85 till the revamp(when 4/5dr launched) pass side mirror was a £29.90 option
after 85 revamp standard on sr's
hope this answers your questions
All base models had the small mirrors as the Sport had. (and the Sport was based on a base model) All others, L, GL and SR had the bigger mirrors. And the passenger one was not a standard equipment on L models
I had a b reg sr nearly 10 years ago completely original and it had "big mirrors" both sides as standard.
The spider I have is a B and is based on a 1.3 SRQuote:

Spider is in October 1984 AutocarQuote:

I have looked at the pic again and I was wrong abot the mirror, sleepy eyes got to me last night doh! Also checked and the interior on that spider is the same as the autocar car.
I have a copy of the custom car mag on its way to me but it seems to of gone missing in the post!!
Any chance of a copy of the advert with my car?
I thought my car never had the kit but I wasn't 100%
now don't know if I should fit a full kit or what..:confused:
This thread is having a good beating from the geek stick and i think i like it! lol
I think this is the advert, I assume one car is yours and the other is C's E reg or F***PUL?Quote:

!.Mitch's (still LHD with irmscher kit)
2.My old C reg (was non kitted but now is kitted and now RHD)
3.Robs LET spint kitted (now RHD with sprint Kit)
4.A random Blue xe on throttle bodies I have pics of some where (now RHD and mk2)
5.A white stand mk1 that came to billing in 2004 I think (no kit and RHD, been in uk for years and was for sale in total vauxhall around 2004)
6. Karl Gough's LHD (Still LHD and has a GTE kit)
so thats 12 spiders on UK soil that I know of......
