Re: Lucky's Series 3
Looks lovely mate, really nice that.
I would change only one thing...angle the rear number plate upwards slightly, looks a bit odd...unless it's just the pic???

Re: Lucky's Series 3
looks great, very modern looking too.
love the alloys was wondering are you going to paint the door trim and stick it on?
think it'd look good and go with the bumpers, but i do like the side repeater removed from the front wings.

Re: Lucky's Series 3
Eh? Last thing I want is people being able to read the number plate 
As to the rubstrips, I wasn't sure at first but the more I look at it all body-colour the happier I am with it. If the doorstrips go back on we'd then have to paint all the strips black again and I just dunno if I want to now. I might do a photoshop when I get a minute, see if it's a good look or not
I have to say, having been unavoidably stuck driving the FD for six months, the FB did seem quite ...errrrr... slow
And sorta wobbly. Then I went to return Martin's arch roller to him and came back along the twisty Sussex lanes to find somewhere nice to take these pics and it suddenly made perfect sense again. The woolly dead-ahead steering was irrelevant when the roads were bendy enough to rarely need dead-ahead and the engine is perfect when you can keep it spinning above 5k in third and second and just scream it between the bends. Great little car, fast as anything on the road... on the right road. How it ever made sense on the wide open endless highways of 70s America I've no idea though 
Today I have been mostly bleeding all over the engine bay and sorting out some cosmetic issues
Plenty of jobs stored up in the garage over the last half a year, itching to get on with them now. Updates to come!

Looks mint! The whole package is great. Stand out bits for me is the rear end mods - beaver panel and number plate inset - and the wheels.
