Re: S1 3.8 bonnet mouth shape and dimensions (factory)

I have had the bumpers etc off and the mouth is still out, ex US car so lots of filler, I did manage to contact the daughter of the original owner, who remembers her dad running in to the back of another car on the way to school!!! How cool is that? Shame for my bonnet though.

Re: Drivers door lock

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the very clear photos. No that part is still intact! I think I'll order a new barrel kit and see if that changes anything.
On the subject of door handles, has anyone used those neoprene gaskets sold on fleabay that go between the handle and the door skin?

Cheers

Re: New Member from France

Thanks for the kind messages In the beginning I wanted a silver or gun metal one with red leather..but when this one came up I jumped on it. I'm getting used to the colour now which is, as it left the factory and that's the way it will stay. The car is pretty original, and when I pulled the engine t...
