Hi All,
I just wanted to update...
In 3 months I have gone from a distant admirer of Pagodas to having bought one, taken it apart and put it back together again..
I can truly say im a 100% convert!
As many of you will know I started by getting the interior right... or as some of you may say to standards of a "good driver"... mine had green stuff over most of the chrome... I have replaced with new parts where feasible and good second hand where not. Vents, Radio, Steering Wheel, New Wood, Dash Top Recovered, All Chrome Trims around Instruments etc etc... Also New Petrol Cap, New Aerial, 2 New sets of mats and many other little bits and pieces..
Then i started reading on here about the 5 speed Getrag conversion... so that was done and dusted.
Now im slowly perfecting the car... I have a complete set of iginition parts on order and I think I have found some Euro Headlamps, after that I plan to replace the carpets and just get a small dent seen to in the bumper... by that time im sure it will be approaching winter so a service, change of all fluids, waxoyl underside and that will be it until next summer!
I love this car and although it lacks the power of some of my other cars, it makes up for it in pure charm..
