Haha, remember your first thread where I said I knew of a nice C70....

You now own it lol.

Congratulations mate, that's a really nice example you have there and surprisingly quick too

Yeah its a nice car. Got a few little bits to sort out but thats fine. I wanted a little project. I'm well happy with it. Just on the look out for some 17" or 18" wheels now. Prefer 17" as dont want ride to suffer to much.

**M-R-P** · Wednesday 18th September 2013, 23:03

Good progress mate, looking forward to seeing it in the flesh, and comparing cars.

Yeah I'd agree with that, use a hot air gun and then push it back into place, you may need to hold it in place until it cools down again but it should retain its shape afterwards.

been looking at what you did with yours tomcat and actually looking forward to the job ahead

**Tomcat** · Thursday 19th September 2013, 00:04

Yeah mine was in a slightly worse state than yours as mine was split in a couple of places too, should be a piece of cake to sort out.

**c70geoff** · Thursday 19th September 2013, 00:22

**Tomcat** · Thursday 19th September 2013, 00:28
