Actually the front is coming down and a new set of tyres for the rear - then I'll assess how it sits. However, it has been set up correctly and I don't want to mess up the ride.

I've heard from all of the PP posts that the Appbiz stuff is good quality but can you confirm that with postage, tax (?) etc that is is cheaper than Southbound? More specifically, how much are the RS door panels costing? And I was always told that it was rude to ask how much things cost!!!!!!!!!!!

Shut it Keithy - understated is never my bag
I could put some of those crappy old minilites on it - but don't want to show my age too much, people will think I'm as old as you

I have a set of those seats in my black car. I must say thatthey are pretty good. I am running full FIA harnesses with them and love the feel of being in a vintage race car everytime I get in and out. Good chioce.
The price of those panels and carpet set sounds great. They are right on top of my list!
Like your car mate, but still reminds me of the Sweedish footie team.
I have seen a yellow car with green decals though and although it sounds even more garish it looked mega cool.

Guys, where do you buy those seats and are they comfortable? I'm considering a pair.

I Got mine from Mark Warring at Wordlwide Classics. Cost me an arm and a leg though at £800.00 +
They are quite comfortable and feel great. Although the seats are light but the subframes are prettyheavy. Lighter than standard early 911 seats but heaveir than late70's seats.
