restorations take a long time if you want them right

Yes it's still a junk yard! Only 1 Capri in here now and a Citroen dyane. Slowly working my way through. Cav is Sat at the back being patient. I have a classic mini to do for my lovely lady first!

We can sort that

coming close for its check!

rust encapsulation is by far the best. rust treatments slow it down, that's only if its not coming through a seam

Hi all, thought id pop in and say hi :wave the reason the site is ruined is its not as easy for people to use, cavmk3oc was much better. I could use it with ease via tapatalk and upload pictures easy. here is a total headache. Troy is doing alright lol now have a garage in Oldham working none stop o...

Ideally you need to find measure the corner weight of each corner.
Also need to measure the unsprung rate. There is much info and calculators online
Really depends on the engine you are using

Wheels lol

does look nice! so far

Cheers, it's joggled as neither Wayne or I like butt welds where they can be avoided, slightly less chance of panel warping that way too. i have to disagree, a joggled join is stronger. There is more material to weld so more ampage is needed, this could easily distort panels. horrible unwelded flan...

nice work!
did you do a joggle join on the sill.

as a result the clutch could not be changed the traditional way.

it will compromise the smoothness of the engine though and may feel the typical v6 dip in the revs more

hi and welcome.

love to see some pics of this low mileage example

IF it;s been flushed one way then the other, I wonder if the heater matrix has got some kind of blockage. I'd be tempted to bypass the heater matrix and see if that makes any difference. The heater matrix is fine. It does a good job of cooling the coolant as not to overheat the engine. Its thermost...

That's a huge Shame.
Was that the only one you were doing this year

This not happening this year?

Hi and welcome pal. The car looks in nice condition

The filler neck is tricky to mend properly. I had to cut the whole lot out to gain access to repair the inner arch. I could then repair the filler compartment on the bench. I did it this way to ensure all the rust had been removed for a long lasting repair. Good effort with the repairs, if your plat...
