Six-cylinder Posted March 18, 2019 Author Posted March 18, 2019 Brilliant! I hope the cosmetics can be left as is, interesting and very 1986! This year it will certainly be run as it is. And that includes the replacement door! MorrisItalSLX, richardmorris, HMC and 11 others 14
HMC Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 Do the festival of the un exceptional frown on “patina”? Great candidate IMO. Also haven’t you had cars borrowed by film companies? What with the different coloured door and general patina etc it would be perfect for something set in the 1980s Mrs6C, Brodders, Burnside and 1 other 4
BeEP Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 I like the way you've colour coded the arch to match the door MorrisItalSLX and Mrs6C 2

Six-cylinder Posted March 20, 2019 Author Posted March 20, 2019 Today's Drive shot, I am feeling pretty pleased as everything you see is legal and works. After a long and torturous time with the Cadillac not working because of a worn gear cable selector bush and then a MOT fail it is now all sorted with a fresh MOT. The Allegro ground to a halt on the drive and would not restart, turns out to have run out of petrol showing 1/4 tank. egg, Bfg, eddyramrod and 18 others 21

richardmorris Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Yea, thanks Ian, you were a great help. I don’t like blood! All the rest of the family are biologists- I went into chemistry.
richardmorris Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Even better an hour later. Repairing faster than the Alfa anyway Mrs6C 1

Six-cylinder Posted March 24, 2019 Author Posted March 24, 2019 Turweston Airfield car show today and after the failure to proceed to Mike's burger bar last year its first outing just 16 miles. I have still got to get home! eddyramrod, NorfolkNWeigh, LightBulbFun and 9 others 12
Six-cylinder Posted April 1, 2019 Author Posted April 1, 2019 A clue for an upcoming car job? Strange thing it was significantly cheaper to buy it in Holland including shipped than buying it in the UK. Even the time to get it too me was very reasonable, I ordered it Wednesday evening and it is with me Monday morning. Thanks to richardmorris for steering me to the correct one for my car. richardmorris and Burnside 2
Bfg Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 ^ you cheated ..you read the bright orange packaging tape as being from 'Burton 2cv parts'

richardmorris Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 Photobombed by the Toucan... Didn’t notice that! Mr sixcyl appears to have dragooned me into fitting it. Sadly I noticed too late that the current roof was missing a couple of studs. Hopefully the rest will be straightforward. It’s copy for my ccc column anyway. Ohdearme 1

richardmorris Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 I'm sure that Six-Cylinder can make up for any that are missing! He says he’s ordered them - I’m annoyed that I didn’t notice before the roof was ordered, would have saved him another delivery charge.
Six-cylinder Posted April 1, 2019 Author Posted April 1, 2019 Ok have been reprimanded by Mrs6C for making the "spot what I am working on" too easy and even leaving the "parts for 2CV" on the packing tape I never spotted. Thanks Richard your experience is valuable when doing this job. Mrs6C 1

Thanks Richard your experience is valuable when doing this job. I’m no expert but I think this will be my fifth roof I’ve helped fit. It’s been a while since the last one though. But I don’t suppose they’ve changed.
