Super 1600,

Many thanks for the very detailed reply (and the encouragement). I think you have nailed the dilemma I have - Track or Road or compromise. I'm afraid it will be a compromise. I have thought long and, not so hard, about a bolt-in cage and I might still go down that route - it is, after all, removable should I go back to an original restoration.

Good point about the steering wheel - I am refurbishing a wooden one, and also have a foam Momo. My intention was to put the wooden one in for the period look, but yes, you're right, not much good on the track.

You read my mind on the back seat. I know the thread you mean, and that is just what I have in mind - I'll plan for the extinguishers as well. As far as carpets go, well I'd like it to have a period 'fast road' look' but I think the floor pans etc are just too ropey for it to look good just in paint.

That said, vive la difference, if you'll excuse my French, and I welcome other thoughts.

Rafael,


Thanks - I had the feeling that no-one produced those panels. At least it's not me doing the bodywork
