My Work In Progress P4
My Work In Progress P4
Hi Guys,
I picked this P4 up at the end of last year, It solid, MOT'd and very useable, And an absolute joy to drive, I have had a fair few 33's over the years and this one by far drives the best and gives more smiles per miles!
Decided that I am going to use it and enjoy whilst slowly getting her back to former glory, and eventually get around to sorting out a few little body work niggles and remove those hideous stuck on bonnet vents!
Mechanically and the interior are absolutely perfect.
No doubt I will be asking for some valuable knowledge in the very near future on here!

Re: My Work In Progress P4
When I get a bit of free time in daylight, I have these fresh from being refurbished to go on.
These alloys where in an absolute mess when I got them, but they have been brought back to an amazing standard by Shrew.
Just wish I had a before and after pic!
Should look nice on a white car

Re: My Work In Progress P4
Nice car.
I've seen it before and those bonnet vents are pretty hideous IIRC. I guess they're just stuck on with no holes in the bonnet to fill?

Re: My Work In Progress P4
Sorry, been a bit busy with work and not updated this for a while
Bonnet vents are thankfully only stuck on, God knows why anyone would though, also i have removed the rather nasty stuck Imola door strips today.
Still not got the speed lines on….shame to get them dirty they are that nice - top job Shrew!
Picture of the horrible vents!

Re: My Work In Progress P4
Imola door strips?
Re: My Work In Progress P4
Hey Up Shrew,
No worries, At least found the cause of the problem - absolutey no idea at the mo how to fix it! but at least i should have more time now work has slowed down and we have lighter nights now for a good few months.
Well yeah, I may as well use the imola alloys they are really nice, shame i sold the tyres - you got any 195 50 15's in your stock pile ?

Re: My Work In Progress P4
I'll have a look for tyres for you Matt, but most 15" tyres in stock have got sud wheels name on them!
Those TSW Imola will suit it down to the ground though, if i have'nt got any, i'll let you know asap, and you can start shopping!
