Thats a very nice early Splitty. Really clean deluxe chrome work, just a shame is not a 23 window as its using the traditonal samba colours.

What is that 106 running? Looks standard... but the Simota induction suggests otherwise and I suspect it could be a 206 lump and not an original 106 lump... it just doesn't look right!

Loving the Monza

What are the popular options for a Metro? The Mrs has a J reg Metro and I'm sure she'll want to upgrade soon, and it's not worth getting rid of. I'd like to make a little project out of it for my own learning perposes. It's done naff all miles too, has a bit of body rust etc. Not mint but a good example. Seems a waste to throw it away when shes done with it.

Strip EVERYTHING out of it and fit a 1.8 K-Series, bigger brakes, 15" rims and sticky rubber.

Then, if you feel up to it, fit a supercharger

I thought they were brown over sealing wax red?

That's black over a generic red.

He'll come and shout at you!

. Any external pics of the red Mk1 Capri with the V8 at the start of the thread mate?, and where the bloody hell are all the Mk1 Escorts?.

Just found out that the beige snotter 4-door Scrote isn't the same beige snotter 4-door scrote that I was thinking of; belongs to someone else

Here's a few photo's from the Rolling Road today at LPS. (More to follow)

^This shows the variety of cars there today, shame I couldn't quite get a capri in the photo as well

^I love this VW, looks so kool! I wonder what the Safari caravan would look like behind it!

^2 little dicky birds sitting a wall........I can say that one's Sniper and the other's his brother.

Ade put his car on the rollers and said it needed a little more horse power, so here you go fella, only another 48 to go!

While the fellas played with their toys, the young ladys played nicely together.

Nice Fairlane.

Last time I went to LPS I left a puddle of oil between the rollers (I did warn them

), was it still there?!

Only RR I've seen with two solid rollers rather than two pairs of two short ones. Makes for good spray when you drip oil onto one
