Hey there all, Shedspeed introduced me to you crazy lot so I thought I'd show my face as I like what I see.
Found out the hard way that I can't show you my car yet, so hang on in there, it's nothing special so don't hold your breath.
I'm running a '82 red/black Charleston with a bit of engine work and some nice seats, it's as low as I can go (which isn't that low as I live on a rough track more suited to range rover than low rider).
Since the bodywork is pretty clean, I don't want to chop it up just yet, but I'd quite like the suspension a bit lower and stiffer, and drop some nice wide wheels on.
I'd like it to be a 'sleeper' - looks pretty normal but nice inside. _________________ All these ideas... No money or skills to realise them. |

My poor little car... Gets ragged everywhere.
I'm afraid it's not really a turbo... It was my grandad's car before and he put it on as a bit of a joke. One day maybe...[/list] _________________ All these ideas... No money or skills to realise them. |

High John. Last spoke to you at 2cvgb national just as i was leaving,(sorry about that).
Nice to see your car at last. Great seats. Where did you get them from and how much did you pay, (if you don't mind saying).
You do need to lower it though . _________________ If it works ok, "LEAVE IT THE FUCK ALONE". |

The seats are Cobra Cubs I think, were expensive (£200) but not too bad as they are brand new, cost more than that rrp and I got the box section frame thrown in. I'm glad you like them, they do look smart, but I'd like to get something with a higher back. With the back seats out it looks pretty smart because you can't see them they are that low!
Would love to go lower Tony, but I live off road, there's this killer hump at the top with a pothole right after it that is claiming fog lights quicker than Ring can make them! _________________ All these ideas... No money or skills to realise them. |

But they'll just come back to put another in... I had a look under the car yesterday and there are some really nice gouges in the underside. I suppose that's what it's there for! _________________ All these ideas... No money or skills to realise them. |
