& also wheres your fog lamp?

Yes - there are a couple of things on the list of 'to dos':
- Reverse Spot Lamp
- 4 front spotlights
- get stuck into overhauling the 970s motor

oh... I just realised why you asked - in New Zealand we do not have to have fog lamps.

Tyres - pretty scarce in New Zealand, so have Sime Astar 175 13s.

The Mk1 look certainly is great, I am pleased I went this way.

Thinking of a couple of other Mk1 things at the moment:
- Mk1 door hinges (Minispares do alloy ones - may leave them in metal finish or painted have not decided)
- Sliding perspex windows (need to get the weight down to have the mk1 hinges anyway)
- Riley Elf door pockets painted in orange like the body

Came with the car from Japan - yep, pretty loud outside, but not bad in the car at all.

I wonder what it will be like with a throaty 1300 (or bigger) may be too loud.

Can it be too loud is that the next thing on the list a bigger engine, what size were you thinking?
