i'm coming, car less tho, could bring it down on the trailer but that kinda defeats the object!

I've used vinegar, white spirit and a little petrol before! great for soaking a pair of webers overnight! Just dont light any cigarettes nearby!

she is ready for paint, hopefully on the road for end of june, really wanna make july 1st for the london to brighton! see ya about!

Yer the guy is called matt, it started life as a basic 1.1 but it had a respray a couple of years back, got a 1700 crossflow and nice seats and harnesses, got a panhard rod and a couple of little bits, looks pretty tidy for a car of its age, very low rot levels, i'm seeing him this week if you want more info, think he'll let it go for a sensible offer and yer tom is chessington boy, top bloke even tho he looks like john terry's brother!!! and i'm just up the road in epsom, where you at?

ok first off dont panic! Can you weld? if so cut out the surface steel neatly using a thin metal cutting disc, only remove a neat section of the surface panel, only about 10mm beyond the inner layer of rust. now using the disc again remove all of the rusted inner section. Measure up a plate to fit in the cut out area, prime the back of it and then weld it in. now grind back the welds and then fully prime the section. The exterior panel now needs to be measured and cut in, try and butt join it as opposed to lap. Weld it up and then grind back, sand it down and coat of primer and your done!v

appreciate it mate, its only got to roll onto a trailer, she's going to a mates garage for a week whilst i do a rollcage for a customer, think i'll just do a bodge till i can find a proper replacement

Ha bleeding ha!!!! and i suppose i use one off the rear flux capacitor to cover that one!

mate pm me, going to be working on mine all day, dont mind poppin up and lending a hand, oh and have a look at the white mk2 with orange mex stripes on chessington rd, he's looking to sell it! posse's got my number!

Rolling the car out of the garage for the first time in a year and am missing a nut that bolts the TCA to the strut! wheeled it out and the tca jumped out as i turned the wheel! so anyone in local area know where on a bank holiday easter sunday a can get another either castle or nylock!!! dunno what size thread it is either!

Scum plain and simple, dont care what car you drive that shouldnt happen!

mate top man! its well sweet, get saving for a engine transplant!

its sadly so true!

Sorry lads but your all gonna hate this, I think your wrong, chips away and all smart repairers are limited to what they can and cant blow in or touch up, Depends on what paint you've got if its a solid colour you could try a smart repairer but honestly if it was me, i'd save up and get the wing painted!

its a lot work and i can respect the detail but! I've seen more taste in a packet of ryvitas!!! Cant believe cf featured it!

start small, think big! You'll be doing full cages before you know!

having a knocking shop above my garage means that i get a regular swathe of dickheads making pointless stupid comments just before they go spend £50 on ten minutes witha gigantic nigerian! who's the loser? My favourite is always "why dont you just go spend your money on something nice like a BMW"

legend!

mate that would go perfect in my workshop, i got a chippy next door, every fri night me and the lads tuck in, would be a touch to cover it in carb fed goodies!

nice one mate cheers!

Just started to unpack another expensive package from rally design! everything is lush except the fuel hose i ordered, 8mm inside diameter rubber hose, labelled as fuel line its more suitable for washer pipes! cant blame them it was only £3, where can i get some nice quality braided stuff?

do i need to have it shortened? i've got the distance between the box and axle if it helps

Ok last two bits i need, A prop, from type 9 to enlish axle and exhaust system from the xe manifold, any ideas? Was thinking reco prop for prop and then modifying a 2 1/4" LH RS system for exhaust!

Anyone interested in advanced tickets at £2 pm me, this will be an awesome event!! I know coz i've been planning it for months!!!
