Re: Had a good day

Hi John, Great to hear from you fella. Thanks for your kind words. Was getting real worried for a while when two of the starter bolts would not budge at all. First one was fine. Nothing worse than getting excited starting a job I had planned, only to be stopped in my tracks at the first hurdle by st...

Re: Grey Dash Top WANTED

Hi Andrew,

Hows it going with your dash top replacement mate. Did you manage to fit the frame from your donor dash onto the new Capri Club one ?

All the best,

Nick

Re: Classic Ford - 45th Brooklands Report

Hi, Just thought I'd add that the write up is in this months club magazine. Five pages of text and photos, looks like a great read (although I haven't yet, but I'm just about to sit down with a cuppa to do just that!). Andrew. Dam, its at times like this I wish I had renewed my membership. Sounds l...

Thanks for the information. I would certainly get one. Even though mine works...ish, I only use it as ...

Re: Grey Dash Top WANTED

The dash didn't sell for as much as I thought it would....£270+P&P. Tell you what Andrew that aint too bad a price at all for something so rare...especially if you compare it to what people have paid fairly recently for mint parcel shelves. Kind of seems a bit of a bargain really. I reckon the ...
