Hello everybody, Contact, spring and insulator are missing on my car. I can re-do them, but haven't any idea of size. Andy, could you please give me roughly the dimensions of the insulator tube, the spring (wire Ø, external Ø, free length) and contact. Hand made drawings on a pdf file will be great....

I can't bring back the car to Uk for many reasons even though it is right. For me, it will be a personal failure. The only thing is I must re-fit the doors as well as possible and enjoy the car untill I'll repair it properly. You must understand I have saved money during many years for this project....

Hello everybody, I will certainly redo the sill work in the next 2 years. Not only for the value, but also because I'm 54 and, by God grace, I want to enjoy my car as long as possible. So, what I plan to do this weekend, is to remove the flacking bitsonthe gutter witch are 3mm thick. Because the win...

Good evening everybody,
I tried to find the stamped n° on the bulkhead without success. I look near the accelerator cable. Is there any other known location?

Hello Kennatt, I am not very comfortable asking the seller a compensation. Did he even know the problem? I am not sure. Of course, it'll be fair but must come from the seller himself! What is bothering me is what kind of temporary and not out of cost reparation can I do to enjoy my car now. I like h...

Unfortunately, it seems you are right. I jack her under the cross member both sides and same result: gap increasing. I don't believe it! I bought her £2950, crossing the channel to get her back home. I thought I should get a car with a sound body for that money (that's the seller said to me). In Fra...

But I don't understand ( I am French, you remember...) why the fist date of registration in UK is 1983? Have I any way to find out the ex...
