Yes indeed, me as well :) very interested.
That's a lovely looking car :-)
Do you have any more pics for us to drool over? The interior looks like you've done a lot of detail in there as well, nice work.

Hi Maiku,
do you still have the hood frame? If so I'd be very interested in the front clip units that attach the frame to the windscreen surround. They should just have 2 screws each inside to...
Hi Zippy, meet Berty :-) Beat twins, thanks for everything Marty :-)

Great thanks for the pic Steve, no little springs and things at all :-)
Has anyone fitted one of the updated Gathers Head units? Any feedback on operation / fitting ? I notice two for sale on ebay atm £599
Colin
Thanks Marty I must admit the hardtop is a very attractive feature :-)
I will send you a private message with my contact details so we can discuss collection, Getting quite excited about another...
Hi Marty
I am very interested in Zippy and I will be in Aberdeen for a family wedding in April so if the offer still stands we could discuss collection next month. These are pretty rare in Aberdeen...
Thanks Steve I think I will take a look in that case.

Hi,
is the box from Japan still taking place? If so is there any access to a parts list or pricing? I need a few parts like wiper arms, front springs etc...
Thanks,

Hi Folks,
I wonder if anyone can give some advice to a total novice who now has both speedo and tacho needles dead on the cluster, both jumped about for a bit and finally died this year. I am...
At the end of last year I reconditioned an old hood frame for my car and then had a complete new hood + reconditioned frame fitted by Jack Smith in Swansea (and he made an excellent job of it for a...
Hi,
I'm interested in the new mirrors, have you just the driver side left?
Colin
Thanks guys, those are some pretty interesting examples bigB thanks for the link. I'm on mac too so no worries :-) I think I'll take the car round a couple of ICE specialists and see what they have...
I'm thinking about fitting a standard size audio unit to my Beat and the easiest option seems to be centre console replacement. Does anyone have any advice on availability of these and how difficult...
Thanks for the pic and all your help on this one, will post a couple of pics of the job when I get the new roof fitted :-)
Still on a mission to replace the tattered and torn roof on my beat. Have found a welder who will sort out the frame before I go off to Swansea for the rag replacement. However the welder needs the...
Thanks for the reply Steve, I'll go hunting blue wires tomorrow. Now where did I put that multimeter...
I wonder if anyone else has seen this problem. My rev counter is completely dead, all other dials in the pod work fine, all lights are okay as well, just the rev needle stays at zero. There doesn't...
Thanks for the link, I wonder if they do the same thing for 1990 models.
I agree. I was most surprised yesterday to find Halfords had the Beat on their list for wipers. The list stated a 17" was required which were not in stock so I've fitted 16" and they seem fine. Does...
Hi Barney, did the job you had done include the metal-work mechanisms or was it just the fabric itself?
Thanks for the link Steve I'll follow this up as I'm keen to understand what one gets for the money i.e. is it just the fabric or would a soft top installation include the metal mechanisms as well....
Hi everyone, I am looking for a way to make my Beat watertight, currently fitted with a soft top which is in a very poor state now :( Can anyone advise on where to source either a hew hood and...
I am very keen to find a Beat hard top either from a damaged car that is being broken for parts or from an existing hard top owner who would like to trade hard for soft plus cash.
Any takers?
