Re: Classic Ford Battlesbridge 12.08.18

Nick, sorry you couldn’t make it today, I had the car on ramps for your inspection! weather wasn’t the best and I think it stopped a few people attending. There were still plenty of very nice cars there. Be good to see John’s photos

Re: Autoglym wax .......

When my car does get washed it’s dried with towels by dabbing and patting and then finished off with a “Leaf blower” and they are great in my view, it blows out warm air as well which helps http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/metro-vac-blaster-sidekick-cat5.html The less contact you have with th...

Jason, that’s my original manifold, so they do clean up ok, no chance of that rusting through, it must be 20lbs!

Re: High temperature paint

Jason / Andrew in my view it’s the best coating you can get but it’s not cheap for my cast lump of iron I think it was about £300 they used to list prices on their web site, anyway I had mind done in silver to off set the black. I will post a photo later as not near a pc at the moment and I can’t an...

I have found the after market TCA’s to have very poor quality bushes, swap them out for polyurethane and it may well solve the problem, it did for me and my TCA’s were new

Re: Wanted! S/S exhaust! Possible janspeed!

Re: Wanted! S/S exhaust! Possible janspeed!

I did a lot of research into a replacement stainless steel exhaust for my 2ls, and yes i did say replacement, the old one rusted through, admittedly it was 20 years only but there are lots of grades of stainless steel . Most company's buy in the boxes and bend there own pipe and with my old one it w...

Re: £30K 3.0S

Take a close look at the 2.0L S, i didn't know that as new meant with rusty lower rear quarter, or is it just a bad picture, me thinks not, its a shame ads are misleading


“Genuine 12k miles from new. The car is in concourse 'as new' condition. Nothing to fault.”

Re: Kent all Ford show Aylesford Sunday 22nd April

Nick, thanks for that looks like I put the mockers on that! To be honest I find this a real surprise considering this announcement was made 11 days before the event and even more so when you see the weather forecast for the next ten days, not a drop of rain and warm. The field must be in a real stat...

Hopefully this will be a good show, it was last year and the forecast looks good for the whole week.

Re: Rust location. Panel needed but no idea of the name

Hi I expect you will find the corrission greater in the inside of the inner wing as moisture gets between the external reinforcement plate and rusts through. Any good fabrication shop should be able to cut out and make a bespoke repair section.There are also sleeves that sit internally to the chassi...
