Been a little busy over the past few months, but it all came together on the 8th October. Firstly, I bought a brand New Lotus Europa Z20 LER engine and a new VXR turbo, along with a rough Turbo cabby donor car for the management and gearbox. But as you can see I ended up pretty much replacing...

It's been a while since I was last on. Probably because I haven't seen my car since last August as she has been tucked away for the winter. But talk about a rude awakening! She is currently in the bodyshop having a little bit of perfecting doing. So I'll let the pics tell the story...

I fancied a little change before Christmas, so decided to order a set of honeycomb GSi grills and a new OPC grill and then convert it to Vauxhall. So I started chopping up a brand new OPC grill to remove all evidence of it being Opel. Also, making the badge mounting point flat rather than...

As the car has only been used for about 1/2 an hour since Billing in July. So figured I need to get back in to it. So the original Linea Rossa Steering wheel is now with it's new owner, which you all know looked like this :- Bought this off eBay for £20 and gave it to Steve at Classic Car...

Just thought I'd say Hi again to everyone. Apologies for not being around the place much, but work has been manic and sending me everywhere! But hopefully a bit of normality will now set in. I have even lost most of the 2nd half of summer with the car due to work etc. She went back into...

June 2014 I decided to take a trip to Courtenay for the cars annual service and a session on the rolling road. For three reasons :- A) I have never had a dyno run with the car so it would be interesting to see how she is running and what figures the engine has. B) Jon and the boys can tweak...

It has been a while, so I thought I'd better do an update. Sorry for not being on the forum for a while, a bit of bad s**t with my best friends brother taking his own life, so support for him has taken priority. The car has been back on the road for just under a month and had it's MOT at the...

I decided that I wanted to change my car over to the new style griffin. BUT.....................................only if I could find the exact sizes to ensure it all looks OE. After a lot of research, I got what I needed and made the changes! Boot Lid Front Grill Steering...

Steve from CCS called round and dropped off the latest parts that he re-trimmed. These were the sill covers and kick panel and the windscreen A post trims. Then as he had made some cushions for a customers Bentley, he made a couple of 'Linea Rossa' Cushions for mine! Different, but I like...

Nearly there with the re-build. Just a few things to finish tomorrow morning. But almost there. First job, to actually get the dash in place and bolted to the shell. Then re-assembling everything. I'll be back there tomorrow to finish off and bring the car home again. But no screws...

Steve has done a cracking job so far, and we are on the final bit before re-build. Dash ready and prep'd for trimming. The leather jigsaw, all stitched and ready for applying to the dash. Finally applied to the dash. I will put up some more pictures of the re-build and the finished...

As the interior work at Classic Car Services is coming along nicely, I thought I post up a few pics of the work so far. Firstly the roof lid. Steve used the Bentley GT Convertible's design and transposed it to mine. I didn't actually know how this was going to be done, but it looks very...

I have my OPC grill for sale. I bought it new a few months ago and have decided it is not the way I want to go. It is a few months old, but was only on the car for 5 days. 4 of those days it was garaged. It is in as new condition, but the chrome strip has been re-finished in mat silver and...

I think I must have spent 8 hours over the weekend giving the Land Rover a full detail inside and out, to get the winter crap off! She is now over 6 1/2 years old with 59000 miles on it, and we have had her for just under 6 years! I think she will keep us...

The Mrs bought me a new cover for my car from Specialised Covers in Bradford. Top job and I could choose my own colour scheme. I forgot to tell them I had a GSi bumper so I get a little 'rippling' in the fabric over the front wings whihc is a shame, but not the end of the world! Other than...
