Re: Best solution?
I feel your pain and sympathise - but- You are ignoring Rule No. 1 of the classic car rabbit hole you have plunged down - you will never make a profit if you pay for work done. You would do well to accept that financial damage limitation is the best that you can hope for. If you can bring yourself t...

Wait until he finds out the truth about Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men.
Not only were they artificially created, they have never been to San Francisco.

Re: Planning a long trip
I like the sound of this.
I can see how a restoration would be therapeutic for the OP just now.
I remember having ambitions, plans, and dreams. It was good.

What route do you have in mind for the second week, after you have done that one mentioned above?
Whereabouts in the country are you?

Re: Parcel shelf
Thanks again Stephen.
I am now looking at constructing a modified shelf with a more crushable transverse bar and a fibreboard template that would be a plug and go fit without having to disturb any pipes or ducts.
Wish me luck!

Re: Parcel shelf
Parcel shelf expert wanted. That doesn't seem to have the right number of cutouts/hose holes for my 1969 2-door saloon.
Would any expert care to comment?
Thanks to Moggieshedfull for his helpful engagement on this. His post is a direct response to my wtb.

Many thanks Phil.
Mechanical prowess is one thing, but having done it before always trumps theory in my book.

Fitting a 3.9 diff to a 1969 2-door Minor
A question for those who have been there and done that. I have acquired from a reputable source a 3.9 diff that is said to be perfectly useable with maybe the only issue being with the pinion oil seal. My plan is to just fit it and see how things go; in the belief that should the seal need replaced ...

Re: Virtually all electrical system gone.....!
Check the input and output at the ignition switch to make sure the switch itself hasn't failed - they do sometimes. Also ensure that the battery terminals are clean and tight. If the starter motor is working normally, the battery terminals will be secure and the battery is demonstrated as adequatel...

Re: 1954 split screen
If it helps:
POD was issued March 1954
XVU was issued May 1959
One possibility that occurs to me is that in May 1959, POD was transferred onto another vehicle as a cherished transfer; if this was done by the LVLO in Manchester it would account for the 1959-issued Manchester-based reg. no.

Re: 2023 Classic Car Show, NEC - where did the cars go?
I don't mind defending the NEC Classic Car Show. 1. The organisers are doing it as a money-making venture. It is their living. I don't begrudge them that. They are good at it. 2. The expenses they face are vast. They risk making a huge loss as well as anticipating a huge profit. Good weather for tra...
