Well,as mentioned elsewhere,Christine and I parted ways but I am still working,albeit it slowly on a Morry project. This old girl is a 2 door sedan,better than many when it comes to rust,the usual A p ...

Regards the black traveller,I thought I overheard the owner speaking to someone saying $5K which I thought at that price was the biggest bargain ever,I was later corrected and told it was $15k but don ...

Surely the ESM unit would have a warranty if its only 6 months old and they should carry the costs although I doubt they would see it that way!

I just know Im going to get flamed for this but in worst case scenario you dont "really" need the whitworth tools for some of the jobs.Some of the imperial/metric are sooooo close that they will do li ...

Honestly,I think your best option is to either source another guard or weld in a repair section for that specific area. I probably have an old guard that you could cut up for that piece if you were in ...

Good to see your back to mazzy,was wondering what had happenned to him!

Hi Kel,sounds like you have an interesting project on the go there but a serious question,do you expect/hope to drive it on the road as a legally registered vehicle because if you do I think you may b ...

so,is there any more progress on this yet???

hey,hanging out to see your progress on the new wiper arrangement.
