Hi guys thanks for the welcomes ive not been active due to having no laptop and simply being useless with computers il try again to upload a photo 🤣 please let me know if it works

Yep planning to do more once the salty roads end gritting like mad my way now , tbh this is all bran new to me ive always had cars and done alot of kz go karts but the kit car scene is all new and if honest its a little overwhelming once you start looking at what you want to do ect nothing seems a simple or straightforward job but i love it next summer will be great

680kgs, well over 200bhp at the wheels, 220lbft of torque at 3k rpm….sluggish is a term I would most certainly not use….around a track, the BEC is going to be a quicker, but on the road, when you are scrambling around to drop three gears, the V8 has instantaneous acceleration even in 5th……sluggish it is not!

I just wanted to say hi, I have re-joined the club after being away for probably over 25 years. The good news is I still own my Westfield SE that I purchased 36 years ago, the bad news is it's been stood in a garage for around 23 years so is now in need of a full rebuild. Anyway pulled it out of the garage it was stored in and have relocated it close to my home, I need to find storage space for my other toy so I can get the Westy into the garage at home to start the rebuild. She's a 1988/1989 kit, narrow body SE with a 1600 xflow. I'm sure I'll be looking for some help along the way specifically locating parts or newer alternatives. Richard

Yeah he messaged me to say they had gone a few weeks back

I've fitted B6 seats to mine, bought through this forum from David. The Tillet runners work just fine, although you'll certainly need to drill new holes. And you need the seat option with the rolled edge cut off for them to fit. Other than that, only thing to watch for when fitting is clearance for the shoulder of the seat when pushed back. It's a bit of a tight fit, but not too much so.

Your missing out not driving at night it's really good in a westie nice set of led lights less than 60 quid job done enjoy.

Thanks mate i really do love it i believe the old owner is on this site , some one called gav, i brought it off a lad who had only had it a short time not much info with whats what on the car. i also dont drive it at night but the bulbs sound a good upgrade incase i get caught out one evening so il 100% look into the lights, i do fancy some track days but having only driven it twaice 😩 im a fine weather driver lol i feel i need more time in the car and then book a few track days to see what its like when pushed. i am in process of looking for tillet seats and il get some 13 inch wheels for track days, but roll on next summer i cant wait to be in it again

Thanks i have sent a message
