I used to work at Southbound many moons ago and in order to make it slightly more road friendly the plan is to carpet the interior, fit doorcards and fit Recaro 1328 and Repa harness reps.
I’m also thinking about refitting some dials (10k Rev counter and 180mph tacho), it also needs number plate lights and plates and I want to fit a slightly different exhaust.

I’ve just bought these 1328 replicas

And this steering wheel, (not my car in the pic)

I’ve got a set of VDO dials to go in the car now and the stack dash will be going where the clock would be, once it’s all together I will get the dials sent off to be re-calibrated etc to 10k

Sure is! Tax and MOT exempt, recently had some pressed metal silver/black plates made up.

I’ve also bought some rennline floor plates and eyeing up a wevo shifter and REPA harnesses. The plan is to carpet it in the correct style carpet and fit RS door cards.

I’ve also collected all of these……

And it will look like this….

I’ve got proper REPA harnesses Mike. I had them made for my RSR.

Not sure you will pass the ‘MOT exempt’ with that spec if I’m honest….I’d just get it MOTd if ai was you to be safe….

It’s almost finished!

Ended up being a whole lot more work than expected, new front panel, new fuel tank, new oil cooler, frunk all painted white…. Loads of other parts behind the scenes, definitely worth it though!!
