sutty2006 Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 Most of you will remember the carlton I bought. Some of you wish you hadnt. Its now got 12months MOT from today. Ive done a considerable amount of work for the MOT 4 part worn decent tyreswelded and rehung the ExhaustAdjusted rear brakesnew front ARB linkswelded rear of sills and inner archesreplaced some bulbsfixed the handbrake ratchetfixed some bulbsreplaced the wipers Theres more but i cant be arsed to mention it.... This is a ROLLING PROJECT. It still needs work so dont expect a mint show winning car. The front calipers need replacing as the seals have split and one works harder than the other. I would recommend changing the rear springs and shocks as they crash about abit. There is some body work that needs finishing. It has speed peal across the roof and boot lid, and the washer/intermittant wiper relay is missing. I will update more later on or tomorrow. But for now, its £450 no offers. I will throw in a brand new fuel tank if you want it. Located in Stoke on Trent. 07738910361 CreepingJesus, Dick Cheeseburger, Craig the Princess and 9 others 12

fordperv Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 I agree shiterider buy it, to be fair from what I've seen when looking around it, it's a very easy job for someone
Brodders Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 Get it bought; it looks great, especially for the price.

Brodders Posted June 11, 2016 Posted June 11, 2016 I would love this, but the insurance companies seem to think that allowing me behind the wheel of this would cause cataclysmic damage that would bankrupt them. Either that or they are being greedy bastards. Anyway, I am also shocked that it hasn't gone yet. Have you tried putting it on Car & Classic? It may reach a wider audience there and subsequently sell faster than it would do here.
