centre console and all automatic gear removed, I HAVE 3 PEDALS!! :0. heads up for people, the pedal box is more work than anything else taken on during the conversion....believe me. once these were done it was just a case on tinkering and tidying but all is done, been driving a couple of days now and its lovely

Good progrees buddy !

By far the best thing you can do to a GL worth it just for the MPG improvements alone !!

Cheers buddy

as far as power its unbelievable!! But mpg I'm not sure if its actually improved, it seems to just be the same which is a little disheartening, maybe my carbs need setting up or something and maybe the fact my speedo isn't plugged in yet so I cant actually see the miles I'm doing isn't going to help lol. How many miles to 10 pounds to people get? Cheers

Is it a daily? It looks very tidy, I have lots of love for GL's and DXs
Good to see one that is getting plenty of TLC

good work on the manual conversion, those pedal boxes are a bit of a pain

Car looks brilliant! I've also got one that I'm sourcing parts for, I'm in need of a manual set up like you've done here. Did you just get the pedal box from a manual gl?
