After completing a couple of small jobs, I had a bit of a play with my new toys. Much easier to move cars around the shed now. Semi-employer has a set of these skates, they are very useful for moving cars sideways when you don't have room to 'parallel park'. The Cav is a beaut. I look forward to seeing the PC feature, I'm lucky to get @Cluffy's copies when he's finished doing the crossword. Re: driver's door rattle: TADTS. My Dad's five MK2 Astras all did it. It's a factory feature to keep you awake/annoyed. 4wheeledstool and Bren 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4wheeledstool Posted March 16, 2023 Author Share Posted March 16, 2023 Ran this up for a while the other day... Hopefully the gritters are getting put away soon so I can get the thing out again. 😀 puddlethumper, Scruffy Bodger, JMotor and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4wheeledstool Posted June 8, 2023 Author Share Posted June 8, 2023 Not had much time for this since taking on the restoration of a G40 body, but made a bit of time for a decent ride out in it this evening. A thousand miles done since getting it back on the road - this thing'll probably see me out at this rate. 😀 timolloyd, outlaw118, Jon and 22 others 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4wheeledstool Posted December 26, 2023 Author Share Posted December 26, 2023 This has been neglected for the last few months. Fortunately it forgave me by starting instantly when I finally got round to paying it a visit this morning. The very light use its had since its return to the road means it has stayed pleasingly clean under the bonnet. And inside too. It really needs a lot more use - I'm thinking of letting it go if I don't get much time in it next year.

Matty Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Be a shame to sell it, but I can see where you're coming from. It would be interesting to see what it would fetch. There can't be another in existence which would come with the provenance (I know hate the word but can't think of another) of the photographic history of the restoration! 4wheeledstool and grogee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had never been out in the Rain or Salt. Was probably as clean as that. 5 years later with 110K on the clock I sold it to buy an AX1.4D . How stupid can one person be. outlaw118 and 4wheeledstool 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grogee Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 @4wheeledstool's Cav is the stuff of legend. A painstaking nut-and-bolt restoration detailed with pictures. Shirley this is a five-figure car that should be advertised in the glossies? Saying that, a quarter of a random if it goes that way. 4wheeledstool 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mainwaring Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 I'd somehow forgotten about your Cavs, so naturally I had to read both threads all the way through again! Lovely to see them both still looking great and being cherished. Hats off to you sir, they're a credit to you the pair of them. outlaw118 and 4wheeledstool 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
