Yep, they'll be black in between the spokes! If I can find some Dunlop centre caps that aren't silly money, I'll get some of them, too

Dont midland wheels do reproduction ones?

[Bean]

I would imagine so, I've not really looked into it yet I want to get the essentials first!


(Yes, a cup holder IS an essential!! )

[Jackman]

Of course... you need a brew

[stardude]

are you using one of the polishing mop kits with different compounds??

i got one of those to do my cosmics and the results are great

although i looked like a minstrel when i looked in the mirror. it was such a dirty job. and its so hard to get off, as its all wax based lol

[Bean]

Yep - 3 different grades and compounds!

Hehe, it's an awful job!! Everything turns dark grey! But it's so worth it!



Just another 4 to go

[Jackman]

Another 4, be done in no time

[Bean]

Bought some brand new backplates for the rear brakes, from Jammy!

Got some brand new brake cylinders to fit, too!



Still need to find another decent radius arm and another hub/driveshaft!

Damn right the cup holder's essential!!!!!! its for MY coffee!!!!!!!! NO COFFEE NO WORKEE!!!!!!!!!

[Bean]

Yes, Sir!

*bows*

Looking great!

What are you using for the cupholder? Something from another car? Where are you mounting it?

[Bean]

From a MK4 VW Golf!

It'll be mounted into the dash that I've got! Not sure of the exact location yet - I need to work out how much space i've got left after the gauges and switches are in!

I don't want to have the problem of getting to the CD player when the cup holder's open ... as is the case in the actual Golf, lol

[yorkshirechris]

Ahh, fair do's. You've given me the idea of putting in a cup holder now but I don't have a modern dash & don't want to spoil the originality of Dominic too much by putting one in. Even with a cup holder though I doubt the drink would stay intact

[Bean]

Why do you think I've got Minitastic springs to go in? lol




Chris ... you could easily conceal it somewhere. It's quite small and very thin - it all pops out when you press it ... You might be able to mount it under the lower dash rail or something?
