Has the whole seat been retrimed mate? Can you get the material to match?
no its the original material in the centres with suede bolsters,backs and headrests. they look fresh! a bit of modernising on the old material
Chanks Scotty.
You gonna get him to do yours aswell then?
Theres a guy in portugal who sells new original material on ebay. Postage to the uk isnt cheap though.
Them seats look good mate where did you get a new grille from matey
Cheers fella- I'm really chuffed with how it all came out.
I have an OE grille which I'm getting resprayed and I got an aftermarket one which I'm fitting. The reason being is the original grilles go for silly money- so just gonna fit it for rtoc meets.
You are fussy aint you lol so where is it abouts that your from i see the name of the place on ur profile
Little bit fussy. Not as bad as some of the guys on here though! Lol.
From Essex pal.
Oh its mad your from all the way down there and you know dan from our small town lol
Haha I live in Essex but I'm from The same town as Dan originally.
We've had some good times up in the shrew! One of us generally gets locked up when I'm up, but its all harmless fun.
You good mates with him then?
No not good mates but we knocked about together abit i suppose you could say we moved in the same circles when were you last up shrewsbury
Not been up for at least 4 years fella. Grier got banged up for a bit & then I moved abroad for two years- I'm seeing him over Xmas though, he's coming down.

Thanks again for your hard work mate.
Mmmmmmmmmmm Fresh paint
Looks good mate this is guna be one really nice 5
sexual
they look good fella. badges just need polishing. and i aint doin that!!lol as long as yr im happy.
Tomtom deserves a serious pat on the back for all the hard graft he's put in on these bits. I'm gonna get the entire car done once I've got a new tailgate.
I got some metal polish ready and waiting for the badges lol.
One more time Thanks mate
that tail gate will go again, its better nick than what mine was the one i bought. but yr 5 is gona turn into a real nice example when yr done with it, as i said, i dont helping people out.
We'll have a chat Friday about the whole car being done mate.
No worries fella
Righteo- Had some real progress the last week or so...
Tomtom (god bless him) has repaired and resprayed my arches & OE grille. They look great. I'd recommend him to anyone- he's gone well out of his way to help me.
I also have my new clio turbine alloys fitted with brand new rubber. These look really good and transform the car in my opinion.
For what ever reason rtoc doesn't like uploading pics from my iPhone- so ill ask dale to load a pic up for me.
Next up is to change the rear bumper mount, cut and treat the rear arch rot under the petrol cap and to do the door pins.
Shell respray in the autumn after I've had some fun with it
Theres your picture
Ta mate.
Top Job, Top Cat!!
Give Bogfoot a squeeze & get a set of his OE stickers for the special RTOC discount* amount. That would finish off your engine bay a treat!
*Bigfoot's not aware of this discount yet but I think he's ripe
Who says I dont keep offering the stickers to him when he pops over
Thanks Trev- I no nothing of this discountWho says I dont keep offering the stickers to him when he pops over
I want to drive the car to dales when its dry and there's no salt on the road and then I can fit them all in the right places.
I've got a couple of niggling faults still to do but it'll definitely be done by the end of February.
Then next autumn it's going to have new sills each side and brand new side decal.
Wish the summer would come quicker- I want to drive it!
normally would slate the rusty old five you own ,bbut does look good mate
roll on summer c o c k
Rusty? You must be getting mine mixed up with your tin shed son!
Next year you'll need tissues Everytime u look at it
