joolz Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 With the help of some info from some guys off here I installed some inertia reel belts into my SEiW. Have left the 4point harnesses in also, so have the choice to use either now. Good job I have super bendy arms, I elected to leave the boot box in place which with hindsight was probably a bad choice, fixing the reels above the diff by reaching through the wheel arches was awkward to say the least, but got it done in the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Received these from the bodyshop, they've done the door shuts ready for doing the outer shell next week... Bonus points for naming paint colour and car... Looks a bit like the old Rover Kingfisher Blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close enough!!!! 220 NASP (2L T16 engine but not turbo) very rare beastie these days... wife has had it since before I was on the scene and we've been married over 20 years.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joolz Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I worked at a rover and vauxhall dealer back in the days when these things were coming through the doors .. always preferred the 220 turbo to the calibra turbos. It says something when my favourite vauxhall of the period was the nova 1.5 turbo diesel. pocket rocket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Larner Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Decided it was time to hide the fact my car is a 64 reg. Westfield can look brand new and have such low mileage it’s a shame they are aged by a plate. Some well placed screws are in order I think.

Andrzej Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Fixed front and rear videorecorder cameras for permanent recording while driving ( mostly to have proof if sh...t hapens with not mine fault). With rear I am really pleased front.. well could not find better place as not wanted cable around window (to be possible mount half hood ) Not sure yet what to do with main unit/screen. Dont need it to be on dash permanently, as visibility in Westfield is no issue to need rear camera. Maybe just mount it under dash somewhere. Video quality is ok for now, no revelation, but for its purpose ok , reg plate leters easy to read from car going to crash from rear (rear picture with foil on lens ) Its an Chinese (Aliexpress) designed for motorcycle set, all approx 60 GBP with SD card. ) To mount rear I needed to take off boot. Not happy what I saw - all that dust. Was hoping mounting floor/diffuser to keep rear cleaner. Is it normal? Maybe some kind of side covers from wheels are needed to keep rear clean? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
