Sorry its late but can i be added to the reserve list, please? No worries if not.

Is anyone going to this on Sunday? http://carcodes.biglaunch.net/carcodes-cosford-brunch-ccb.html

Hope this may help. It's Akzo Nobel code. Although it should work with any paint supplier.

Wire wheel on a drill to get as much of the rust off as you can and then lightly "dab" some rust killer product on what's left then fibreglass it.

Can you not reinforce it with fibreglass matting?

Would a dehumidifier be any good?

Have you tried pilkinton.com? Hope that may help.

Thermostat problem? Also have you heard of Evans waterless coolant?

Thanks, Dave. Its Ford Le Mans Green.

And here is the car when it is finished, quite a while later.

Sorry, it's a mk1 escort. Here is a photo of it when I bought it a few years ago.

Finished my mk1 rebuild last year. Hope to get out to some meets this year and get some hints and tips on my car. Although living in rural shropshire. Hoping the weather stays nice for the 'ahem' summer. Looking forward to keeping up with you folks on the B roads.

Hello! I'm new on here. Would there be a possibility I could tag along, please? I have a 1972 mk1 escort. Cheers.
