  1. Bill’s just about finished now, engine detailed and control cables fitted. The sediment bowls have been rebuilt with new rubbers and seals and new fuel pipe Decided to go with the pepper pot exhaust so pipes made and fitted, bonnet fitted and decals all done. Many thanks to Titch at Machinery Decals for a superb job.
  2. Surprised you didn’t put a stack pipe and flapper on it ?
  3. Still got 4 stainless stacks, i was hoping to use a couple
  4. I did say it was only going to be a mock up, if i used a stack i would cut it shorter and put a support under it Nothing looks worse than a stack pipe that isn’t straight
  5. Exhausting day, can’t leave the original engine silencer tucked under the hood so I’ve got 2 pepper pots or 2 stainless stack pipes which would look nice polished up and maybe a bit shorter. Your opinions please, i like a bit of bling myself.
  6. Had a bit of time today putting Bill together, still more to do on both but at least i haven’t got all the parts hanging from the ceiling of the shed.
  7. I did think about that but I need a good brush and a steady hand and I've got neither at the moment
  8. Still a way to go yet Norm, fuel pipes exhaust wiring and I’ve got to make control cable’s
  9. Here’s yesterday’s progress, still a lot to do but the parts pile is going down,
  10. Vauxhall Cavalier QH part No QG1017
  11. Started putting Ben together today and I needed a couple of shift lever boots, I found some on fly bay at £18-75 each Looking around in the shed I found a rack gaiter left over from a job that fitted perfectly ( with a bit of lube on the stick ) back on fly bay searched the number and a pair for £7-30 a pair , umm guess what. ?
  12. Gonna look nice with your decals on them.
  13. Good Friday and lovely sunshine , what better way to spend a lockdown than with a spray gun.
  14. Happy birthday mate, hope you have a great day if that’s possible at the moment.
  15. Why didn't you bend the steering arms ?
  16. Just spent the day doing a few little jobs before painting begins and replaced all the transmission oil seals. Nice little package arrived in the post from Machinery Decals, Titch is really top man for Wheelhorse decals, I’m really pleased with the. I think they will really add the final touch to the build.
  17. Happy Birthday Ian, hope you have a great day mate,
  18. As the day finished yesterday i had a final check that all the fabrication was done and I’m quite pleased with how they look. As the day finished today all I’ve got is a big pile of bits.
  19. Ive got a shed full of projects Alan but Pams also got a list and hers is different to mine
  20. He does a lot of reproduction stuff and did my roof when it blew off in the storm a few years back
