Re: New member: 75 Nepal Orange

@winston: And I'm in love with your G40 rocco as well. I'll never be able to leave my home driving a car that low :hugegrin: Bangkok road sucks.

@mr.brown: well, my car and my friends' cars range from £800 to £2400 unrestored. Some drive-able, some not.

I just ran into this one today. The only LHD ...

Re: New member: 75 Nepal Orange

No more than 20 that i know of.
3 restored including mine. All Nepal Orange.
1 with berg cup kit and 1.8t engine. It's a pity the owner got bored and left it half way. I'm trying to locate this project.
4 unrestored that belong to my friends and my 77.
Few others that i've seen. One of them is LHD ...

@MCBailey: And don't forget the bracket for TV lamp which is different than the quad rounds. I'm not sure how hard it is to find though.

@GTXTRA: I only put 7x15 ET25 in the rear. Front are stock mk2 6x15. Actually, I still have another set just like this.

Re: New member: 75 Nepal Orange

nah.. the story is my friend (P/O) had rear discs conversion with master cylinder and servo from a mk2 but front were still stock. He told me that the car has a problem with locked front brakes so I guess it is because the master cylinder size is too big for small calipers. I just happen to have a ...
