The rear of the car runs a Harry Hockly independent setup with coilovers in turrets. It's very trick. As you might imagine, having been driven in wet muddy conditions without any wheel tubs has made things quite messy... So both front and rear needs tubs putting in.

End of an era today as this car finally left my ownership after many years and has gone to a fellow 106 Rallye Register owner up in North Wales. I know he has big plans for it as a race car so that it will undoubtedly be seen again within the club in future. A... Continue Reading →
The Rallye is gone now so I can get to work on this car. Cleaned the top of one of the wishbone mounts today, I'll leave you to guess which is which. Gives you an idea of how dirty the rest of the bay is:

Well that was the plan, time permitting. More updates once I come to terms with things. First... Continue Reading →
Collected today on a flatbed and about to set off up to Peterhead... It's been fun.
Polishing finished... A bunch of photos Rear oblique view Side profile Turned out quite well in the end A few more photos Quite like the lighting in this one The other side! Interior Beading...
