YUE's Engine is out at last!

[Nelly]

Kev, are you going to the Notts RSOC meet this Monday, got a new bit of stock to go in.........

[lee bishop]

that looks lairy!! is it a GT model?? i was driving a convertible one of those a few weeks back...........in maroon! :colors:

[Nelly]

Lee, it's a Saleen 281 Coupe, based on a GT, but with different bumpers, skirts, rear spoiler, uprated suspension, exhaust, 20" wheels and different seats. It's only the baby 325bhp model though, they do an "S" which is 500 break! Not the easiest thing to drive in this country as its LHD, manual and wider than a tranny van!

[dasadrew]

built like a tank, but doesn't handle so well?

[Nelly]

It's actually not too bad, the rides pretty firm with those big wheels on it, and the front anti-roll bars as thick as my arm!! But your right, it's built more for cruising than hustling!!

Hang on a minite, I've hijacked my own thread here!!!

[dasadrew]

BUMP!

[Frosticles]

Dunno about Monday yet Neil. PJG yes, Front arch stripes need cutting to fit properly otherwise good. Nice looking runabout for you (Little bit jealous what with the MK5 GTi as well)

[Nelly]

Ordered the decals from PJG today Kev.

The weather looks pretty good at the mo! Get the Mex along to the Notts meet tonight, been a definite shortage of MK II's there lately.

[Nelly]

No worries Kev.

[Nelly]

Finally got the old girl back this afternoon!! Now the fun start's..........!!!

From now on I will mainly be posting in the technical queries section!!

[Aaron P.]

mmmmmmmmmm, well tasty mex.....mine is the exact same only with steels as my sig shows......when it came to taking out the window rubbers did u reuse them or get new ones????. Did u respray the inside as well???

[Nelly]

Thanks Aaron. The window rubbers were all replaced about 14 years ago when it was first restored, and are still mint, so i've reused them. Plus i've not heard any good reports of any of the repro one's currently available.

Re-painted the floors, boot and doors, did'nt bother with the rear quarters as they were fine.
