    Re: My new 5

    I will sort out another one for next month if you want. I started it the other year and first one great, then it was only 2 other people, though did have a good chat with those who turned up. Would weekend or week day be better for you? Dont mind either really.

    I'm easy to be honest, we could meet up with the Suffolk lot off the A12 somewhere? I need to see Steves raider in person.

    Sits really well on the koni suspension from the club shop. Handles beautifully. I drove it back from "yodas" workshop last night in the wet (never seen rain in my ownership before) Jon tweaked the carb a bit and she's running sweet- had it spinning in 3rd gear with now effort at all. So she has it if needed

    Apologies for my Shiite photos (I'm no photographer)

    So, all that's left are my centre caps from mike at gt turbo spares & my flocked door cards from Carl @ Phoenix and the 5 is completely restored. I have some refurbed Speedlines & johnnys old voodoos as other "shoes" for her.

    Also just got to fit the hot air feed pipe.

    She'll be done soon- really happy I've restored it & looking forward to helping mingblus (simo) crack on with his project now.

    Looks like you have condensation on the inside of both rear windows? Are the rear windows locking shut fully and the seals ok etc?

    Cheers for the comments. Hopefully the centre caps will make the wheels look nicer.

    Didn't spray them black cos they'll look like spares
