The pile's grown again:
M59E gearbox from a 480 Turbo. Shorter first and second, also apparently a little stronger than the Later M60 I have knocking about because of bronze something or other. And magic.
Also, turned the car into a hovercraft:
Either that, or some Scousers called round. Not sure.
Also waved goodbye to my beloved 480
Not sure I can survive with only one 400 series to worry about.
Oh yeah, I still have another don't I?
Hard work keeping track...

Shame to see the 480 go mate but they are hard to keep on the road, especially with a fleet of other cars & bairns to look after. Not to mention working daft hours

So, when I get around to it I'm gonna be breaking the facelift 460 I have floating around.
Floating isn't too far from the truth, as it's leaking water so badly whenever it rains, hence it's new name - The Age of Aquarius.
Anyway, the idea is to rob it of all it's goodies. Leather, facelift dash, door cards, A/C, etc.
Thinking maybe a set of front seats from a 480 Celebration could work well:
Facelift rear lights to go in, will reuse the black numberplate surround though and not use the red coloured infill panel that the facelift rear end came with. Same as I did with my old 460T before it was nicked.
Old:
New:
Also, can't make my mind up whether or not to use the facelift front end.
I like the old-skool front of the 460 as it is, but then I also like the baby P80 look of the facelift.
Old:
New: (clue, the 460's on the right )
Hmm... Decisions...
Old skool pls, may I request you put the leather seats in also

Pmsl!
That's why I'm thinking of 480 front seats. Still not fantastic support, but better than these!
Yeah, I do like the facelift rear lights
Only thing is they're red and clear, where as the front indicators will still be orange. Not sure if it'll look daft.
Oh, forgot to say that I tried the 480 chin spoiler and even though the shape of the bumper looks very similar, it's a good foot too short.
Like many things in life I suppose.
