wulsey Posted December 15, 2010 Author Posted December 15, 2010 Finally started putting the type r back together tonight. Couple of pics took with my phone. Another couple of nights work and she should be home for xmas.
Big Gordon Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 That's looking stunning, love it. Will be great to see it finished.

wulsey Posted December 16, 2010 Author Posted December 16, 2010 Thanks for the comments lads. Another top job Barry, I hope you'll be keeping this one for a few years so I can have a good drool every time I see it, mind & give us a bell if your up this way & pop in for a brew, you can get a wee swatch at my FWD toy lol I will be trailering the car up to Duncans for some suspenion work in the new year so i'll take you up on the offer for a brew & a look around the RS mate.
colin_ross Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 Lookin good mate. Subtle but still hard as nails.
Kosy Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 That looks awesome, look forward to seeing the finished result
wulsey Posted January 15, 2011 Author Posted January 15, 2011 Finally got the type r back from the bodyshop & into my garage. But saddly i damaged the rear bumper when loading it on to the trailer so thats now back at the bodyshop & i should have it back next week. I have also made a start under the bonnet, but i have loads more samco hoses & a repainted inlet manifold to fit & then a good clean done & thats the bay finished. Made a start on the interior aswell but i have a few wiring issues to sort out before i can get this finished & as im no good with wires a mate of mine is going to help out
colin_ross Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Outstanding!!! This is fast becoming one of my favourite cars in the SIDC.
seafar99 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Yip, looks like an excellent refurbishment....top marks
arch Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Just seen this, I like the look of the wide body a lot you could probably give craig some tips
paul555sti Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Stunning! Not only wide body but one of my favourite sets of wheels as well!!
bobbyc Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 It's looking the absolute dogs bollocks Barry really can't wait to see it in the flesh, once you've driven a really good classic nothing else compares I think anything else you drive you always compare it back to your classic, mind & give me a bell when your'e coming up to Dunc's
paul555sti Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 once you've driven a really good classic nothing else compares I think anything else you drive you always compare it back to your classic Does that include fords
Ovv Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 That is one tasty looking classic, the wide archs are sweet. Also in with the dash.
bobbyc Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Does that include fords Feck off cant beat the best of both worlds Paul, it was time for the GB to go while it was still worth something & the £1200 to put it on the road to drive 5,000 miles every year was just starting to take the piss
scooby222 Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 that is looking amazing Barry! attention to detail is amazing - cant wait to see it in the flesh Bobby is the RS any cheaper on running costs or do you use it more? and whatre you going to take to the fling this year????
bobbyc Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Dave Dave Dave so many questions, Ins £223, Tax £235, Service £120 less than half the price of the GB before turning a wheel, RA for the highland run, be wearing a blue jumper wi white polka dots now piss aff & stop hogging Barry's post ya donkey
scooby222 Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 oooh tetchy!!!! was a serious query, thought with it being 2.5l itd be 400 tax too and polka dots? really??
wulsey Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 Thanks for the comments lads, im really happy with the way its turning out. It's looking the absolute dogs bollocks Barry really can't wait to see it in the flesh, once you've driven a really good classic nothing else compares I think anything else you drive you always compare it back to your classic, mind & give me a bell when your'e coming up to Dunc's Bobby not going to be putting the car on the road for a few more months yet till the weather & the roads are better. But i'll give you a shout once i book her into Dunc's.
