Just about done all I can and want to!

I have posted before on my Lido and have just about done as much as I am going to on it. I have bought a set of part worn Toyo Tyres that really have transformed the handling without any negatives at all.

I bought some new seat belts in grey

I put white leather over the trim in the arm rest that was looking a bit flaky

I have now got the heated seats wired up and bought some leather covers for the belt keeps and the visors

Took out the dash as the needles where a bit faded I decided on painting the smaller ones white and the speedo and tach in red

All done now I know some traditionalists might frown at some of the things I have done but I like it!

Fantastic car, well done, the best I have seen.
How many hours of work?

Thanks, I honestly have no idea if you have not seen my original post this will give you some idea of what has been involved.... www.x1-9ownersclub.org.uk/forum/4-news-a...b-picture-heavy.html

I was very lucky I bought the car unseen and without a doubt it must be one of the best 1300's out there body wise and being a Lido was another bonus. I have just been out now in it the sound proofing I put in before the carpets etc has made a tinny door shutting rattly driving sports car into a quiet plush saloon! The difference is night and day yes the car still has wind noise from around the roof where it meets the doors/windows but that is the nature of the beast so to speak which can never be rectified. I have thrown it into a few roundabouts and the thing is just glued to the road it is amazing what a good set of tyres can do but anyone that has done a few track days will know that.

Excellent work as expected Kevin. As for your tyre choice. I cant see past the R888's and have them on my Uno

Wow Charles that looks special! Do you have a link to the car anywhere?
