Well bad news!

The 240C has now been sold and the Watanabes will also be on the way out so I can FINALLY get stuck back in to the 1600 project!

So if someone would like to buy these great rims and tyres then PM or email and we can chat 8)

2 metres of flat room when the seats are down, great for camping out.

No major plans for the future, Panel and paint back in the Mustard, Hopefully source a bench seat. Out with the windscreen to patch the lower lip. Remove the rear bumper to get straighten up, Thats all. Completely stock standard.

Benchseat from a 330 sourced and it's hell not going in the 240C. It really uncomfortable. Should have a talk to the Upholsters and see what can be done the make the factory buckets into a Benchie. More rust repairs or due as it was left in the weather before it's paint job. Lowerage with the next 6 weeks. Most likely 3'' front, 2'' lower at the back.

So yeah got it slammed last night - need to take a little more out the front..

But the key thing is the structure is 100.015mm off the ground (not counting the exhaust which is about 80mm) and it scrapes going in and out of my garage - sweet - achieved both key requirements to me.. next level! power up!

whoop whoop
