I've successfully 3D printed an adaptor to go between my speedo drive and the clock on the dash. The cable had previously been hacked and held on with tape...now it's a snug fit with a small machine screw securing it. Also printed the grille shown here to go in my bonnet vent. It's held in with Tigerseal and seems to be holding up even in this weather!

Having just signed up I thought it worth posting a picture of the reason. This is my 1989 Westfield SE, powered by a 1600cc crossflow from a Mexico (or so the paperwork states). No fancy Webers on this one, just a twin choke downdraft carb. The car was laid up for 20 years from 1999 until I aquired it. There's plenty to do on it but now it runs and is road legal I can enjoy it between jobs.

Do you think whoever did it said to themselves - I have a MIG and no idea how to use it, how to prepare metal and what the finished article is supposed to look like so I best put a box over my head and do it by touch (by my guide dog!) Please just learn to weld!2 points

hello folks, Thought it was time to join in. I’ve a MK1 Mexico powered Westfield built in 1989. It’s old, a bit rough but still brings a smile. Having recently got it back on the road after it being stored for 20 years, I’m busy fixing stuff and blowing away the cobwebs.2 points

Thank you OST. There's very little weight. The tyres spin up far too easily I built one around the same time this was made and put a 1760cc in it on twin 40s. That developed around 135bhp which seems tame today but that had the same power to weight as the Ferrari F40. It's hard to imagine how rapid they can be now using the newer engines and management systems.1 point

Nice bit of welding there. Looks perfect, no gas leaks from that fine repair! 😎 Oh wait, cough splutter!

When removing a fuel tank from a previous car I noticed something wasn't right in the filler neck. The rubber had perished so some knuckle head jammed a short piece of plastic pipe in the hole and screwed it to the body adaptor........ genius Ps just spent about 20 mins looking for this photo
