Well done team !!
George, I see a load of shelves there.
I have a stash of washed, cleaned glass jam jars in the garage that you can use to screw up under the shelves if you want neat, visible storage.
Pop in and get them if you want, some time.

George and me have been outside looking over the car tonight , he is visually making a few plans, nothing massive just bolt on mods, he wants to fit a colour coded rear spoiler different to the original one, nothing wild just something subtle and tidy looking any suggestions? Also a front chin spoiler, I've suggested perhaps a Renault Laguna one? Again any advice on something we might find in a breakers yard?

Laguna one should do the job, the Concerto (same as 216) on here has one:

Well with my jag now parked at home well and truly dead , I've borrowed George's rover until I find another car,, we've had a good run down to our weekend holiday home and had all his mates up here looking over his car,, must admit it's a lovely little car,,,,,, yes little!! I need a big thirsty thing soon , spotted a xj6 in a showroom this morning but undecided on whether to buy a jag again,,, rover motoring for the time being, george has said there will be a hire charge!

Just a quick update from me ,George picked up a new chrome tailpipe for 50p at a boot sale sunday, managed to convince him not to buy an irmscher rear spoiler which I think would have spoiled the cars lines, we've had some real interest in the car as I'm using it whilst awaiting my new daily barge to be ready from its cherished transfer,,, had a complete moron in a tacky body kitted mondeo thing, flashing me out of the way on a local bypass then flashing a Nescafé wave at me....classy,did get a look at his female companion she wasn't the best looking young lady I've seen, perhaps that's why he was angry?!! Car is performing faultlessly were still looking for a local meet where the lad can look and get more inspiration

Not much done due to the boy enjoying the summer hols at our caravan, but plans afoot for the coming weeks, rear spoiler needs to come off and be repainted, going to let george learn the art of a good aerosol finish!! Wonder if he will throw the can in temper like I did?? He's so laid back I think he will probably surprise me within the coming weeks

Picking up a 216 (Honda engine), after information on coilovers/springs to run and wheel suggestions. I know they are 4x100 but I want to keep it looking retro with some dish.

Big thread resurrection! We used mg rover wheels on the car And lowered springs from HR Another car we should of kept in the family We miss that one Three years down the line escort estate finished And just finished our escort van too Not bad going for us George is still only 15
