After being taken off the road in 1995 following the Cilwendeg Rally,
Vixen
S3 GPB 16J passed its MoT test first time. It shed the back exhaust box
on the way to the test and was too low for the brake tester at the rear
but apart from that it passed no problem.
This has been a total ground up restoration with many people to thank
and I will list them out shortly.
A few teething problems remain:
adjusting doors and bonnet shut lines
getting rid of leaks properley
lowering the front to match the rear
fitting an o/s external mirror
fitting the sun visors
fitting the badges
fabricating a clutch foot rest
making bonnet to rad air flow panels
wiring in the radio/cassette
fitting a Thatcham Cat 1 alarm (is this possible?)
trimming the footwells and baulkhead areas.
more to follow...
Regards,
John
