Congratulations Kev, yes, as you know I too was thinking of getting it into Cornwall, just a tiny bit too much for me to take on but I am sure it will be lovingly cared for at it's new home.

Cheers.kev.

J1mbo is good like that. Shame he couldn't take it for a test drive to get a feel for it.

As for someone wanting to break it, you are correct it's just plain wrong.

Be nice to have the new owner keep us updated with the cars progress back to greatness.

redkev · 24th April 2013, 15:21

Mikes already been in touch.new tyres which match the rears,new back box and oil/filter changed.
It deserves it!!!

eumjmorris · 25th April 2013, 17:26

OK, well, the set of serpents with the two new tyres are on Fred's Gold Connie today, and the poor crown wheels off that, which I recently had my favourite Mohawk 205/65/15s put on, still as new, are now swopped for four brand-new Comet wheels which I already had, the alternative standard wheel for this car, and as are on my 53 Tourer CDTi, also new shiny bolts, and I think it looks a treat, but also, it rides better than on 45/17s and even, I think, handles nicer. Now a quiet smooth drive.
As Kev says, exhaust back box, oil/filter, new wipers, awaits new badge insert for the bootlid handle, driver's grab handle from Sean, also one jacking pad, all bought already on ebay. King of the road, and what a bargain these great cars are. Many thanks again to Emma and Kev, and my colleague in car crime, Fred, also to Big Russ who alerted me to the car last week.. I'll have words when we next meet! Projects will be new brakes, and also possible fan issue. Car to POL 2014?

those few bits now received and fitted. sorted, M.

Jules' GOLD resistor collected yesterday, thanks, and fitted this morning, now the fan works happily on slow speed instead of cycling the high-speed on and off, when aircon is selected.. MAGIC. Thanks again, Jules, for interrupting you yesterday, regards, Mike M.

Ahh, so J1mbo's diagnosis was correct.

Be good to see some pics as the project moves forward.

quite, and thanks, though the original pics still stand, apart from now being on brand-new Comet wheels, which I already had....Mike M.
