Thanks very much MC71. Nice for someone to think so  :happy2:


I've been following your thread too. Those wheels finish it off very nicely. Really looking forward to seeing where you go with it  :smiley:


I'll always have a soft spot for a lovely TR Eddy. Votex splitter on yours is a subtle change from the Ed30 one but makes a big difference IMHO (for those who know what they're looking at).

 Enjoy! :happy2:

So it's not official, but if anyone is tempted, then i will be selling the ED30. I'm in no rush what so ever, but a imminent house purchase may have to call time on the ED30 for the time being  :thinking:

Another bit sorted today.

Had been having a slight creak/knock from what i thought was the front right. Midland VW said to try the replacement Subframe Spacer Kit. £36 fitted later and perfect. No creaking and no knocking. Boom.

Also gave the car a clean yesterday along with 3 coats of Poorboys. Few photos taken with the DSLR  :happy2:

Cheers Mat. Yours is looking phenomenal also.

It's funny you say that. As i turned out of Donnington, one of the local villages had just been done. I took it very very steady. There was a decent sized queue behind by the time i turned off  :grin: :signLOL:

Good progress on the car Pete, still looks amazing, definitely will always have a soft spot for this car! Shame about you maybe needed to sell up, if I was in a position to buy another car I would actually be tempted to buy her back again lol

Thanks Martin, it still does come up really well for the age of the car. I'm really hoping not to have to sell it, but if needs must. Everytime i drive it, it just puts a smile on my face.  :drool:

Managed to find a bit of time for a few more photos this evening.  :happy2:

Cars all good, but need to work out a way of keeping condensation out of the lights after washing it   :thinking:

So unfortunately, the car has to go. Have been to the Peaks today and it is just fantastic, but needs must to fund an imminent house purchase.

£7500 takes it  :happy2:

Sad to see your still selling up Pete, I know how it is when it's comes to a house purchase!
She still looks a beauty though the new owner will be very happy I'm sure. If I had the money to have this aswel as my 6r I would buy it back from you lol good luck with the sale anyway mate!
