Thanks for kind words Gents With regard to what to do now - look to improve the bits that I can. There’s still plenty I can do, and I’m sure VYK will keep me busy enough to not get bored. First job is to get the ride height sorted. Then I’m going to look at interior improvements if I can find some decent front seats. Top ends a bit noisy so I would like to look at the valve clearances, then there will be a new chain and tensioner, solid rack mounts, plus some front end bodywork, etc etc |

Thanks Tony. I had another run out today. This time down to Folkestone to see an old mate. Took the M20 all the way as time wasn’t on my side, so no chance of pootling down on the A & B roads. VYK sat happily at 80 all the way there, and back. I’m still building confidence in the cars capability and reliability, but have deffinately fallen for it. It drives so well, and ticks all the boxes for me - This ones a keeper for sure! |

They do look nice seats Bish, what model and year were they out out of? I have just fitted Alfa156 seats to my 2500S and they are fantastic compared to standard. Re.. dyeing your seats it only works well if you are going darker. They don't look to bad a match as they are, but if you just want to "tidy" it does work very well. Tony. |

Bish The seats look nice, i think its the leather repair company,ive bought dye from, there make up a dye any colour you want to match, they just need a sample,you can dye lighter or darker I went for Saab 9-3 seats but mine are only half leather,when i fitted mine i removed the saab seat runner and with a bit of fiddling fitted the dolomite runner to the saab seat Dave |
