Don't forget your toothbrush. With your permanent smile you will need it together rid of the flies!
I hope your car gives you great pleasure.
Best wishes Stevie B.

Re: The return of Kev - TODAY!!!
Small problem though - fuel is leaking from the fuel cap! Dodgy cap?? Its directly screwed onto the tank under the hood. - update a new cap and seal is on order!

As for that cap... have you established where on the cap? Might need some new cork gaskets?
So, now you finally have it back, what's next?
Re: The return of Kev - TODAY!!!
Need to add some tunes, put the new steering wheel on, add a few badges and then start the real mods to improve the drive and steering - not sure what yet though.
Pretty impressed with the results from Gary though Will take some non blurry pics at the weekend
Wondering about a cover for the hood too? Trouble is it hides my amazing back seat!

You sound way more pleased / happy and upbeat in comparison to when the previous people had the car.bonerp wrote:Need to add some tunes, put the new steering wheel on, add a few badges and then start the real mods to improve the drive and steering - not sure what yet though.

Do you like it? I think it looks lovely. I want to see it next to mine when mine is on the road.

Re: The return of Kev - TODAY!!!
Its been a long time coming but looking mighty fine.
Who needs a job when you got your Speedster to drive round in.
P.s you need some rubber seals round the doors??

Basically yes but make sure they are the 3M type or they will forever fall of.

I think they stick on using impact adhesive. Pain of a job usually done slowly about 6 inches at a time.bonerp wrote:yup - how do they fit on??? just sticky back type seals?mdmax72 wrote:

car looks stunning ..I have the same problem with the fuel filler cap ,if i fill it to the brim i get a slight splash comes out of the seal in the cap i have tried different caps but still not 100% and you get a smell of petrol only slightly into the cab but only when filled to the max .
As to the door seal the first time i got mine and took it out i got caught in a thunderstorm it was biblical and water was pouring in through the passengers door and then discovered the seal was missing .
I got a couple from Chesil and fitted them was not sure the exact position that they had to go in and to be honest they where not the most helpful in trying to help me out just wanted to know if i bought the car from them what difference should it make, it was after all there kit to be fair they did send them very quickly and where only about £20 The position is important i think i may have a photo of mine fitted some where

Re: The return of Kev - TODAY!!!
looks great ! love the colour combo ! well worth loosin that kidney
Re: The return of Kev - TODAY!!!
went up to Volksworld today - didnt drive Kev though - bit far for 1st excursion! Its a bit of a mishmash of a show and inside is quite small and difficult to get around the show cars. Outside there appears to be no organisation and the stewards were crap letting 2 cars drive toward each other down roads where theres not enough room!
Treated it to a steering wheel centre, another fuel tank sender as the one on it now isnt working, finally found some wiper blades that work properly, and a gear knob that doesn't fit my empi shifter grrr
All ready for DubAid next weekend
