How Many 1st Gens Still Running?

[David Nock (RIP)]

Already on the list but A206 WGN is on the move again.... on ebay now.

Yeh, that\'s Mervin. Owner didn\'t get back to me re putting up a library pic but it doesn\'t matter now. Except my pic would have been white.

It looks to be a very smart Fb,says no rust & a bundle of spares inc panels,engine & gearbox,reserve set at £1200.
I like those wheels,mmmmmmmmm.
 
Interestingly went on Elite site to look for wheels for Fb\'s,it came up with about 5 choices,so not impossible to find aftermarket alloys,just limited choice.

Jazz is looking G8 Cliff,youre nearly there.
Is that a red pinstripe running through the side mouldings?
I\'ve never seen that on fb\'s,maybe it\'s just on white fb\'s?

I\'ve gotta stop looking at that silver fb,i keep imagining it with carbon arches,rollcage & lexan windows,stripped out interior,more power!
Looks too good to modify,i must resist.

Hehe,yeah,i\'d love to do it.
A run what you brung & track car.
I have the spec in my head,350hp minimum[had 300 in a dax cobra],big brakes,plastic windows,multipoint cage,carbon fibre arches,doors,bonnet,stripped interior with bucket seats & harnesses.
 
Problem is i only have a single garage,if it was a double i\'d do it!
I\'d pay for the work to be done,could do it myself,but built too many cars in the past to do it again,tooooooooooo much time,lifes too short!:D
 
Very keen on pete\'s fb progress being built by Atomic Rex,makes for gripping reading,well for me it does anyway:god

:Thumbs-up
Yes- RED pinstripe added by myself, just to add a little something and match the interior colour.  Sets it off quite well I thought.

Thinking of adding a swivel chair lift inside the garage - this will make the task of in & out a little easier. Is it worth doing the job properly by putting steel runners under the drivers seat to line up with the chair lift - no that\'s too exreme I think.

Must admit those alloys are nice!

Your cars looking really great now Cliff, a credit to all your hard work.
I too had that red stripe in the side mouldings in my white car back in the 80\'s.....the gap in the mouldings sort of lends itself to it doesn\'t it?



Looks very nice on the white cars.... also got it on my black project car...



Not sure about it on black cars though... this is going to have to come off.

Yeh knew it was was original white cars (I think mainly on the S3) and thought WOW!
But also must say it is eye catching in the black too mate - me, I\'d keep it.
