I sold my old 25 steering wheel recently bit do still have a spare mint condition steering wheel centre. I have a spare interior, spare trims, spare trim centre caps.

I don't have the speakers spare, just the ones that are currently in my 25. I just sprayed my arches, bumpers and grille. Need to do the other exterior trim bits now to finish it off.

Will you be wanting any of the books (brochure, handbook etc?)

Here's mine next to the 30 edition

I would definatly be interested in handbooks and brochures. Perhaps you could give me a PM with details.

I got fed up with looking at the big rusty hole in the front corner of the roof today so i chopped it all out and welded in some lovely fresh metal.

It's coming along nicely I see. Can't wait to see it finished :)

Long time no update!

I have no batteries for my camera at the moment but I will give details.

I have had the car up on its side again and have now cut in and welded in the front drivers floor pan fully as well as repairing the bottom of the toe board and fabricating a new floor cross member which I have also fitted.

My welder has given me grief from day one and it got to the point where I just wanted to throw it out of the window so I treated myself to a new one. It is only one of those cheap wolf ones from eBay but I tell you what, its bloody brilliant! I have got really nice neat results every time so far with no fuss!

Here are the pictures as promised. They are not brilliant but I had a limit to what I could take as the camera batteries were about to die at second. (I really need a new camera!)

Hi Ben.
Which welder was it? I have been looking at purchasing a welder. The only wolf ones I have seen say you can't use with standard 13amp plug or wiring

Although it is a wolf welder, it has been rebranded by the dealer to power king. They are on eBay. Item number 370910866402.

I would have added a link but it won't let me!

 

 

Good luck

I know someone with a 25, hes doing a hatchback conversion on it. It was cheese yellow when he got it

[Ben_O]

I wish! Im going to be tipping it back on its belly tomorrow to get the floor finished off then its on to the inner wing etc! should look like a car again real soon

 

cheers

[Ben_O]

Sounds good. Any pics?

I wanted to do a modern remake of the 25 with mine by using rover 220 coupe seats trimmed in grey leather with red piping, 13x7" wheels and sportpack arches, electric windows, central locking but now decided original is the way to go.

Haven't seen him in a while, he did claim to be trying to find a lady friend, but I think the best he came up with was the Ann Summers catalogue.. haha

I'll try and see him soon and get some pics from him of the progress
