Hello, a few different ideas but i have the less baulky rs badged ones with the crome adjuster on the side ill get some pics up soon. thanks again

Thanks for the fast reply, my car is a 73 would that be the interior i have already then? also do you know if the clubman were options on the later cars also? Want to stay as original as possible, but damn i love the clubman seats lol Ps cheers Vista we posted at the same time i think your reply answers my question, why do all the "know it alls" at shows tell you what is right and wrong when clearly they have no clue themselves lol.

Hi bit of a dumb question but thinking of changing the interior on my mex to the clubman seats etc at present i have the RS "rolltops" i think, what interior was supplied with the car ie mexico as standard?? Also seen a few cars with wood panels and some without (mine is without) again what was the standard fitted set up?? Many thanks

I too use yokies and will for as long as i can get em! Have tried many others and imo they are the best full stop. Hope this helps your decision

I am in Telford mate, if its any good to u, u are welcome to pick wheels up and return when done

Thanks for the replies will leave as is then...........

Hello, might be a daft question but i want to see if there would be any benifit for changing my fuel pump from a mechanical unit to electrical unit, there is no reason to do this as the car runs 100% just asking if the change is benificial in terma of performance etc?? Xflow on 40s at present many thanks in advance Lee

Back in Black gotta be for me, albiet on my ipod lol

Love the pics Tim but to throw in the mix a bit, this is what i have to say about it lol Really mate i think the choice is yours and yours alone the beauty of all OSF's they are ALL the dogs danglies in their own special ways!!!! Regards

Really not too sure mate i can ask at my club if there are any about but i think on here i have seen some recently too, or the dreaded bay!!! but they fetch big money there. Nice to see another midlander!!!!!! LOL Regards

My say would be no bubbles too mate, i prefer the "original" look and they still look the biz with 7" wheels but lower the tyre to 175 50 13s...

Might help u out a bit??? if you get march issue of Fast Ford they did a few interior features in that issue with flocked interiors, somtimes they say a thanks to the company etc with there details on there.... Read it and thrown it somwhere lol...... if you struggle mate gissa pm etc ill send you my copy when i find it!!!!!! Regards

It is parked on the earth in the pic? or does she run like that for good now? I think i need some single leafs, i have de cambered multis. For the love of all thats good.....i MUST now get my car that way!!!! wether on mounds or not lol Do you know if you regain the "angle" or camber with normal single leafs fitted.... my car is slammed but cannot get her any lower due to the "angle" or de camber on the rear wheels they are litterally 3mm from the rear arches even with like u 175/50s! also i dont get the much travel anyway i have AVO Shocks on her....even set to the "softest" setting i get no where near what you are getting there!!!!! wonder if that too is the springs??? Regards Ps All excited now lol

Tell me more damn you!!!! LOL only joking really is that how you got it that low? also what leafs are they? ie de-cambered also they look like 7" rims?? if so how in gods name did you get em that far "in" is it a standard mex axle? Whatever the answer is they look the dogs dangley bits.....sooooooo jelous! Regards

Hello mate that is really the mutts nutts wow really like that alot!!!!!

Hi lovely car looks ace! miss my mk2 now lol

Thanks for the kind comments, it is quite dirty although admittedly not filthy lol feel like a big head now!! All i meant was it has been in storage for a while and they were the pics taken without being cleaned (litterally rolled out 5 mins before pics taken) I have owned the car for nearly 2 years now and to be honest 90% of the "graft" was done by the previous owner, i have mainy done the engine bay and cosmetic bits to my taste. Ie the 40s , wheels, suspension, and some interior "tidy ups" and mainly tried to restore her to how good henry intended with some slight mods for styling purposes, and the carbs shall we say audio pleasantries lol. i searched and searched for 4 years for the "right" car and found this eventually, i wanted a genuine type 49 body and a car as oringinal as possible as i am a member of the RS owners club and have been for years...mainly newer cosworths rs turbos etc but the mk1s have always been my dream cars so i took the plunge. Very happy you all like her and am very grateful for the kind comments by everyone Ps Great site glad i joined, also are there any meets in the midlands area would love to come along regards
