Then Gaz got a VAN !

[Mr RVM]

Matt and I have had to do a couple of A post repairs ... one of them here, about half way down. Fun they ain't

Year I know once did a rear pillar on a capri (3 skins) and remember the bother I had I have an old shell that I'm constantly robbin bits off for everything else so can cut out the bit I need and "dress" off the inner part to leave me with the outer skin so probably not too bad a job when I come to do it

[kalkat]

One slight worry.....there seems to be a bit of braze in the top of the outer skin. It spits like billy oh if you catch it with the mig!

The biggest 'issue' is getting the angle of the screen recess correct - well that's what I found anyhow

I do like to read a good thread
Very good work

[Mr RVM]

Bought (yet another) set of wheels and stuck them on, nearly new tyres on them (would have needed new one's soon anyway) so not expensive at 170 for the set of 5 with nuts



wont be getting much more done to this before "mania" so this is pretty much the way its coming

Brill. We all know that in the long run you will get her looking fantastic so you don't need to worry. Like them wheels, absolute bargain!

Well the tyres that were on were up for renewal (maybe another 1000 miles) so thought cheapest new tyres (remoulds) would be around £140 for 4 so a set of 5 alloys with nuts and tyres that have at least 7mm of tread on 4 of them seemed like a good deal to me

If there are only 6 left resto it would be a shame to paint her red??

Might only be 5 but the rest cant match the condition of this example and its a split screen model (right down the middle ) still has its original steps and sills (whats left of them) there's the usual bit of arch on the rust (to be expected for its age) one very carefull owner (and another 4 lunatics) will accept offers around £4286.54p first to see will bye bye

Do what all the ebay sellers do, put a start price way too high, or have or priced proper but remove it before bidding ends in case someone gets a bargain..
