Things are looking might fine in East Sussex, about time I paid a visit

Loving the look of those flares Matt

A stunning car, beautifully restored and one of my all time favourites.....good luck with the sale Kieron

No progress on the car as yet as Gary has been clearing up a number of jobs although things are now moving and parts have been sorted... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53868560742_d347a8fdcf_b.jpg ....I took a visit to GDC Automotive to go through a number of items, Gary and Giulio will now be ...

Thanks for the input chaps.

I will try my gauge first as it's original to the car and would like to keep it plus it's the type that would have been fitted to a standard RS so in keeping.

If it doesn't work Matt I'll come and steal yours!

Cheers,

Trawling through the many hundreds of reference photos of original 3.0RS and RSR cars I've saved over the years, an item that restorers seem to have little regard for is the gauges, they're all over the place and vary greatly from car to car! :?

The arms I had purchased, as with all short trailing currently availab...

Thank you all Gentlemen

Cheers,

It's taken a while however the 2.8RSR and 914-GT oil cooler project Paul Howells and I have been working on has taken a leap forward and end tanks castings and cores are now in production with fabrication hopefully commencing in a couple of months. As with the 3.0 oil coolers that are available thes...

Covered in dust and looking unloved the RS was finally pulled out of storage this week... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53652923454_3a329372d3_b.jpg ...although impossible not to fall back in love with that profile :drunken: ... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53652923464_a31fff70b9_b.jpg ...

Well, it's been a while!......
