southerly, thats a plan I like, Im thinking now that the beams could be beefed up as you said, this would make future engine lifts easier and materials bought would pay for themselves with time. E bay is my favorite site and I too have spotted the deals on hoists on the site. I may yet go down this ...

Ive just checked there isnt a photo of the damage but I will upload one tomorrow.

hi all sorry I didn't get back sooner PC problems.... The main problem is where the holes are in the plates wither side of the engine, when she was stored on a farm they hooked a chain either side underneath using these holes as a towing point - with the brakes seized :o as she has been stored for m...

Hi Flying and all I'm back, just bought a new toy a gasless mig much better... :D all that remains is to dig my way into the garage and get on with the boot floor I made a mess of two months ago. Im going to reduce the size of the photos as soon as I manage to get into my account on photobucket. I w...

Hi I need to lift brendas engine out to repair her mounts as someone tried to tow her and has torn the plates under the engine mounts, i dont have a crane. what are my options? Im thinking about buyin a block and tackle, with it attached to a roof beam in my garage and liftting it clear of the mount...

Hi again, you may be getting somewhat tire of, my woes. but jus to let you know, Ihave spent a bit of time on her today and she is starting to get there. I now have seem weld running full width of the panel, Ive put in a peice in the drivers side where the pannel falls short. This is a bit of a pain...

Hi Flying Im having great fun restoring this minor, Ive been a bit busy of late but I did manage to try my hand at welding for the fist time in eight years yesterday, here is what I have done.. :roll: <img src="http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s192/nslocomotives/STA70356.jpg" border=&quo...

I ground mine out, had the same problem with my front wings, all bolts turned except the top ones under windscreen. I struggled with heat, penatrating oil and every other trick in the book. But the grinder is more fun, much quicker, you dont skin your nuckles (if you have any left :-) ) and the bonu...

do they do rivnuts in sizes bug enough for wing bolts?

Oh yea that too.

This is the point where I get bored (lose patiance) with spanners and just get the grinder out :evil: , cut the nut off then worry about how im gonna re-fit it latter :o , a bit extreem I know but a lot more fun than trying to free off old bolts and skining your knuckles in the process. Hope the mol...

The rear inner wings on both sides are rotton except for some small patch repairs so im cutting out more than I expected. I managed to mince thr...

Hi flying Im glad someone had already asked you that question, I started cutting brenda's boot rot out today, and there is a lot ofit too... I copied you and removed the petrol tank, its probably safer that way. and I have now got the replacement pannels. Im considering how much to cut out as the fl...

Hi Flying, Im about to start welding up my moggie brenda I was hopping to get her back on the road this spring, but.... I took her down to a chap who I was hoping to get to weld her up!! As he put her onthe lift the leg of the lift under the sill disapeared up through the body work until it rested o...

Many thanks for advice I will atempt the job at some point today, I have to bolt the front pannel back on, bolt a front wing back on paint rear wing and bolt back on, replace boot handle rebuild back brakes, replace all the brake pipes ensure all fluids are changed and bled apropriately and to get h...

Hi Ive bought a new set of weather strips to go into the viodbetwen the door and the windup window. But cant see an easy way of fitting them, any IDEAS? Im sure someone out there has done a few, only when I wash my car the water runs straight down the window into the door :o Obviously I need to sort...

thanks John will do..

It was worth asking,you never know

You mentioned a local suplier of pannels, would this be NVWC in Norwich? as im looking for some pannels to go on my saloon this winter. It would be great to be able to buy them down the road.
