| ![]() The transformation from the sorry state in which you first found the car to where you have got it now is nothing short of phenomenal KPS, congratulations! I noticed a couple of yellow lamps in the boot in the pictures taken when you first found the car, were they mist lamps? Could you please post daytime pictures of the interiors as well - the dashboard and steering wheel, drivers footwell, seats, the boot etc? its a new car now and deserves a thorough review ![]() Do you now use it as a daily ride as you had planned earlier? Here's a before & after : - ) though it doesn't do justice to the incredible tinkering job done to the heart of the car |

The yellow lights were local fog lamps. Since they were broken and badly rusted, we discarded them. Will shortly post detailed pictures of the car as requested by you. The car is running very well. The additional electric fan does a great job cooling, in the start stop traffic. The car is quite large and driving a LHD in traffic with two wheelers all over you is a challenge. If someone is sitting in the right hand side, it is easier to drive. Also with the top down, it is easier to drive as every one can see your hand signals and one has a clear view of the traffic behind you. We manually switch on the Fender Guide lights with a switch located on the dash board. Cheers KPS Last edited by KPS : 10th August 2015 at 14:36. | |
