    Update.
    So I finished work and thought I better get the car running, the lad I bought it off said there was some kind of problem with the engine and it just wouldn't start. It was only the timing out by about half an inch. Glad I got it going will be easier to start the bodywork now I can drive it in and out. Off to meet Bazil in the morning to buy the rear opening windows :D

    Big thanks to BAZIL and NOV4_SPORT for the parts and information for the rear opening windows. Not had time to get on my computer yet to upload my pictures. Start rubbing the car down at the weekend I think, still not chosen a colour!

    No probs mate. As I said, if you need any info just give me a shout,

    As for colour, I'd go for straight black, I loved the look of early mk1 SR novas in black.
    success is only limited by a weak mind
