This is the result of over 2 years of toil and frustration. It is my only car and used regularly. The engine is out of a 1098 van, the gearbox out of a midget sprite and the under car neon out of a serious lack of taste. Anyway, I love the car and it is getting better with age.

Vic-Plod,

you have a great car there, I am most impressed Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

any chances of some more pics. That is one hell of a paint job, they always look great in black.

what sort of wheels are you using.....like the subtle mods and rego plates. Is there a story behind the RSVP.....

regards

The wheels are wider rims on standard hubs. I interchanged between the plastic-chrome and morris hubcaps with chrome trims.

The engine and gearbox were from my van. I know not why it was so.

The chrome diff was not my idea either, although the neon looks great but is hard to get a photo in the dark.

Interior pics to follow on my website http://members.optusnet.com.au/~peter.jarvis

RSVP is a long story. I have the same on my motorcycle, which is being painted to match the car...... all good things come in black.

The front seats are AUTOTECHNICA leather seats. I then had the rear seats and door covered to match.

Top job Peter - the dechromed look really suits the black colour Very Happy .
Not too sure about the hubcaps though Embarassed .
Those interior handles look like a work of art themselves!!

Is there a black leather fetish going on here? Embarassed Embarassed

Top job Peter, impressive to say the very least.

Raises so many questions for me lol but I will only ask a few.

Does the fitting of a sprite gearbox really make a difference? It's something I have been thinking about for a while Yellow Convertible

What tail lights are they and do they have indicators in them? Also what parking lights/indicators are they?

Twin exhaust?? lol niceeeeeeeeeeeee.............

I have gotta get me some Phat wheels Yellow Convertible

Cheers
Herne
