Operation Lazarus - She lives!
After 5 years ownership & 2 years faffin' with her she was finished at 9.30am on Saturday last & took part in a 20 mile cavalcade in Northern Ireland at 12.00...
Blood, sweat & tears, a bare metal respray, new chrome, rebuilt engine and the list went on and on..
Thanks to M. Ortmann for the parts (I'm sure he thanks me for the many beer tokens sent in return). She looks and feels brilliant, apart from an annoying 'rattle' when the clutch is depressed (they tell me this is common in the breed, something to do with the flywheel).
If I knew how to post pictures I would, but being a bit of a luddite simply loading them seems hard with http links an' all. Suffice to say, she's great!

Re: Operation Lazarus - She lives!
Great news!
Have a go at the pictures and I'll tweak it if they don't show.

Re: Operation Lazarus - She lives!
Hi - I opened your link to the image then opened your picture in a new website tab. Then I right clicked on the picture and chose "copy image address".
I then left clicked on "insert image" within the forum options and replaced the "http:/" with -
http://image.ibb.co/kYBafy/IMG_0365.jpg
The image now pops up fine

Re: Operation Lazarus - She lives!
Apologies for the late reply - the wheels are from Rover SD1 3500 rom 1980's. same PCD & 14" wheels, with a bit of tweaking they fit rightly with nothing sticking out. More rubber on the road can only be a good thing...

Re: Operation Lazarus - She lives!
more rubber means more drag. the engine will have to work a little harder.
the Rover wheels are 5x127. Porsche is 5x130 and with 15 inch wheels there is more choice of tyres.
195/45x 15 is the same rolling radius as 185/60x13. (you can check Here for size comparisons)
there may only be 3mm difference between the Rover and Porsche (Honda S800) but that will put quite a strain on the studs.
car looks great by the way
