Daisy the 80

This is mine :)
I was going to rebuild a wreck of an 80 I had, however the
chassis was pretty, much shot it had a 2.6 fitted and lots and
lots of bodged bits. About to start on sorting the rolling
chassis and the chance to buy this one came up. It already had
most of what I wanted and so I bought this one and sold the
project on.
1952 80 with 2.25 petrol. Rebuilt into a sort of period rtv with
full cage and petrol tank in the load bed.

Since then have had to fit parabolics with much help and advice
from the good people on here, thanks Luke and all. The original
6.00s are now lost in the arches and this weekend acquired a set
of steel wheels from my neighbour for the princely sum of nowt
:). Currently shod with 205s but will swap to 7.50s or
equivalent .

Fitted my new hood from All Wheel Trim today - spotted it on
ebay and picked it up from them on thursday. needs to shrink to
fit a bit but I'm happy. New tyres too which fill the arches a
bit better than the originals

I quite like disco steels but having painted them body colour
I'm no longer so sure. That said the wheels and tyres cost less
than the paint so they kind of win in the value for money stakes
andwill do for now.
I'm still on the look out for a set of standard wheels with
decent offset but they do seem to go for good money and a set of
ATs/mud tyres is higher priority than the rims right now. Mostly
I just want to get out and use it :)
