Talbot Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Unfortunately my insurers wont let me drive it fullstop even on the vin Why dafuq not? Surely at that point you're insured and driving it to a pre-booked MOT... Do what? Registration? Oh, yes. That minor detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoss Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 See those cranes?One of those is what took your car off the boat. Don't know if that's still the same boat you can see under the cranes. That's a big one. Maybe yours was near the top. Mrs6C, eddyramrod, egg and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoss Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 You're still tracking the boat then, even though your car's not on it any more? Gets addictive doesn't it. It hadn't occurred to me that the containers weren't all UK bound but I guess the rest of Europe want their fair share of Shite too.

danthecapriman Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Nice one Jo, I bet you can’t wait for it to come home!? Glad you’ve done it now though?It’s not that bad really is it in the end. It’s just getting over the fact your buying blind and paying blind. I’d gladly do it again anyway! Joloke and eddyramrod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I like a vinyl roof on a 70s car, personally... but I reckon it says PLAH rather than bASe, so I guess it's down to personal preference.

somewhatfoolish Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 The most difficult question is what colour to have the vinyl; a blue matching the velour, 'you forgot the topcoat' grey, lairy white or plain old black? Joloke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNWeigh Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Other questions are half or full? Padded or not? And what side window style do you have? vulgalour, eddyramrod, cort1977 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNWeigh Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Personally I think you should paint it Highland Green, paint the centres of the rostyles black , get some JJZ 109 showplates. Then go to a Mustang owners club event , content that your car is just as faithful replica as all those other fuckers,( and there will be at least a dozen, none of them actual 68s let alone 390 GTs) somewhatfoolish, Joloke, JeeExEll and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthecapriman Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Great news Jo. Personally, I love vinyl roofs, especially on 70’s yanks. It just looks ‘right’ and of the period for them.Only down side is that our country is generally a wet shit hole for 50% of the year so bear in mind the corrosion issues it might possibly cause longer term.My Capri had acquired one (non original) and it had caused some deep rusting to the rear quarters where water had gotten in and sat behind the vinyl rusting the panel. They were very obvious after stripping the car down and it meant the rear quarter panels were best being replaced... worth bearing in mind!They are seriously cool on cars like this though. Going further I’d be tempted to go triple blue!Blue paint, ideally metallic.Blue full vinyl roof .Blue interior. It’d look lovely! eddyramrod and Joloke 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danthecapriman Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I’m sure it’ll be fine... Funnily I thought exactly that same thing when mine got stuck at New York docks because of no Title! It was sat up in NY through winter, and it was very cold and snowy that year.Turned out to be fine though. Joloke and eddyramrod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
