Think I have now 'got a job on!!!'
Looks like the front springs are a bit long!

I really should start a build thread.

Yes you should!

I've seen the quality of the bits you've prepared and got in your workshop...get 'em on here!! :)
Come and see some pretty shoddy, slow driving of a really well prepared competition Sprint here!

Funny coincidence but my 1500 is being sorted and re-finished at the moment, and when I saw it in the bodyshop this morning, all covered in primer, it looked almost identical to the one in these pictures. No front spoiler or louvres on mine though. It will be vermillion when it's finished though I almost changed it to flamenco. Several fresh parts coutesy of xivalve, to whom I'm very grateful. After 10 years and 10K sorting out the internals, this will be the finishing touch and I have the satisfaction of knowing that I brought one back from the brink (that was really too far gone).

Making slow progress, doors are nearly built.

Had the vinyl roof and rear quarters fitted today. Really great job and really please with the result.

Very nice. No seams either which is what I have on mine but needs replacing. Did someone do this for you ?

Do you mind passing on some details on supplier/fitter/price by PM.

Mike,
I used this guy http://www.coachtrimmers.com/

very good, he came over to Staines to do my Sprint, I supplied the roof and he did the rest. can't remember what he charged me now and it was a few years ago too. he also made a new interior roof lining as well.
