Re: Turbo tail

I have the sides and the top section of one. Was going to use it to build one out of two but found difficulty mating the replacement bottom section to these bits as they seem to "set" into position, or so these bits seem to. I'm looking to sell them if your interested. I paid just over £30...

Re: Wonder what people will make of this Barn discovery

It's a shame it's not in better condition. It's not a car that excites me but i would be excited for the owner if it was better preserved, As it would be a bit more special, rather than being just another rusty pos found in a shed.

My opinion from a 90's boy who knows nothing about allegros

Re: Aldi Car Polisher

Looks very similar to the one I got off eBay but mine was a silver line brand, think it was £70 odd. Does make the paint come up nice.

Re: Windscreen Cracked

You know Danny, yet again your resistance to adversity is superb. I am not one for swearing, but I think if I went out to my Capri and saw a new crack on the windscreen then I dread to think what I'd be saying and what I'd be typing on here, it would be far worse than your gentle opening gambit of ...

Re: In Full Colour?

Black and white has always bugged me and I don't find black and white photographs show the details or quality in the images. I hope it stays this way! It's a step in a great direction and I'm now looking forward to the next letter.

This is interesting to see, wasn't someone like Aston or someone making an electric kit for a classic car now?

Forum question: incoming pm "on hold"

Hi, can anyone advise why I am unable to read incoming private messages due to them being "on hold"? I only have the one but it's the first time it's come up and it's to do with buying parts, if I miss out because someone won't let me read my messages I will be VERY disappointed lol.

Re: Any thoughts on the new Ford Capri idea

Back to the Toyota gt86, how and why do they sell this car with a Lexus badge on it. Am I wrong or are they the identical car with a different badge?

Re: Roll over jig

I'm on the look out too, found a decent one for about £300 on eBay but they all seem more expensive these days. eBay item 133119585775 is what I'm looking at. Primarily because it's pre painted.. I got one bought by the missus for about £180 few years ago but it wasn't painted so it went all rusty a...
