Among the vehicles taking part was John Hartney's ex-Peter Marr Mark 7, frest from its recent revamp.
As you can see, the Nagari nose is gone and a more original Mk.7 front replaces it. I like the glassed in place to put the numberplate. It's not revolutionary, Ron McPherson has something similar on his white Mk.7, but a nice touch nevertheless. Without it, on Marks 5 and 7, you wonder where to put the plate (which you can't dispense with) and they end up looking just tacked on.
The rear looks pretty tidy as well. As it is originally from NSW, the back window doesn't have the rounded off bottom corners which Peter Garvin was telling me was done to give the window a better seal. (Reducing the number of joins in the window rubber and lowering the chance of rear window leaks).You've done a great job, John.

hi john a friend saw the photos keith conner (bcc vic.) I have made a lot of changes. most obvious the nose. ron mcpherson the 'bolly guru' has done most of the work with me the labourer. new radiator and fan shroud. I finished the glove box and now have fresh air into car and a working heater and ac. I installed sunvisers, retractable seatbelts, remote central locking and boot lid. I have just replaced tailights and installed lights in boot. looked at fuel injection but too hard. looking at triple su, the exhaust headers jet hot coated and fit cruise control for easter trip to borossa. hope to see you there
All mod cons! It looks fantastic.
