Could be worse,on a Mk1 Focus you've got to remove the nearside wing🙄

blimey. New Edge, new issues. I guess the 'reach around' method (oo err missus) might work on the i10, depends if it is completely boxed in.

Spotted next to where I was working today. A lovely Jap sports car and some beige, shite kit car.

[Jenson Velcro]

A Panther Rio. A very rare handbuilt re body of a Triumph Dolomite

[High Jetter]

I'd rather have a Wood & Pickett one myself, that's horrid.

Good holiday the last couple of weeks 🙂 Highlight was visiting a delightful small town on the edge of Exmoor which boasted a proper traditional Subaru garage with not only an immaculate 55 reg Legacy for sale,  which I was tempted by, but a matching pair of red Daihatsu Sirions as courtesy cars (one even had a private plate the other was about 10 reg) This must be unique, I only wish I had my camera with me.  Any other courtesy cars to rival this?

I think the screen wash pump has gone on our i10, first issue we've had.

Anyway, first step - remove front bumper...

FFS! All modernz!

If it's anything like the i30, you can just pull back the o/s arch liner and pull the motor out of the bottle, clean the rubber gauze (which might just be your problem), pull off the pipes and fit a new one!  20 mins.

A Panther fucking Rio!!! Jesus that’s a spot and a half!!! Never seen one in the metal!

My 305 reached a destination for the first time in 24 years presumably, thanks to @garbaldy for the replacement engine.

A mini Bristol in my eyes. I remember seeing one at the NEC Classic show, reading the write up and being shocked at the price when new and how small it seemed. Panther lives on in other ways........ Robert Jankel

Indeed it was, well spotted  Almost every other car in Dulverton is a Subaru, so it is good to see an independent garage thriving.

Good to see the company's still going in one form or another.  Although obviously that won't stop his son*, Ty Jankel, from trying to flog a replica of the Panther De Ville based on the Citroën Ami.

I can't help but give it beans every now and again just for the noise...

i got a frame that size on the bike and took it to ireland..........

[vulgalour]

Unexpected rust in the sill edge ended up being an easy and quick repair, even got it done before the thunderstorm arrived.  Got to wait for the thunderstorm to leave before I can put it all back together again. and then I think I'm MoT ready.
