crayfish Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Hi all, I got a 1989 Westfield SE last wekend and I totally love it However, it's hardly stopped raining since i got it and the carpets are still quite wet. I saw a guy at Stoneleigh and he had a great way of stopping the sidescreens leaking by attaching some angle-iron near the hinges, so that's one of my first jobs Full spec is: 1989 factory built Westfield SE 1700 crossflow Twin Dellorto carbs Big valve head Runs on unleaded Quick shift gears Quick steering rack Minilites Set of slick tyres on superlites Full weather gear (not that it's much use! Red paintwork Pretty standard I suppose compared to a V8 or bike engined one, but I'm lovin' it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Green Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Welcome to the club! I have an SE with a Pinto engine for the last 8 years and the smile has never left my face! Enjoy every minute. Kind regards Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crayfish Posted May 5, 2003 Author Share Posted May 5, 2003 I know what you mean! I've had three cars so far in my life. Firstly, a Mini which my dad bought me after I passed my test. He wanted me to get some experience ASAP! Next was a Vauxhall Chevette which I bought myself. Its bodywork was a bit beaten up but it had a genuine low mileage and was a blast to drive. Then I replaced it after a year with a Ford Sierra 2000E. Large and comfortable car which was welcome after the Chevette. Got bored of it after 18 months this winter (but it's still my backup car) and I decided to go for a 7 replica. The Westfield is the only car I would drive for the pleasure of driving.

neilwillis Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Welcome on board. Just one question..... You have joined the club? Were you one of the lucky few who signed up this weekend, and took home one of the coveted, and soon to be, very rare mugs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbowestie.co.uk Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Were you one of the lucky few who signed up this weekend, and took home one of the coveted, and soon to be, very rare mugs? Well me and the missus signed up at Stoneleigh after 4 years of westie ownership, I think we were the first to sign up this weekend with little in the way of resistance to parting with the cash. I belive Roland has the pics for proof and not a crowbar in sight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crayfish Posted May 6, 2003 Author Share Posted May 6, 2003 I have joined the club but it was earlier in the week before Stoneleigh, so no mug for me. I suppose that makes me a mug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
