Re: 411 LE, parts to be saved, act quickly

OK, I don't think Richt needs either which would be great news. I was getting a bit conscious about the balance of the car, I don't want to chop the front off and have the thing go vertical on me :) Window winders are off and awaiting a long bath in some oil Do you want the handles too ?

Re: 411 LE, parts to be saved, act quickly

Richtbiscuits and I spent the day doing some 411 parts saving. She's getting smaller and very little is left on the car now. We even took the cutting disc to the front end to save that as a body cut because much of it was in good condition. Front suspension is off petrol tank removed, dashboard, ped...

Re: 411 LE, parts to be saved, act quickly

Not got there yet, front suspension is nearly off, after that it's finishing the engine compartment and then it'll be the interior. The window winder handles are solid at the moment, but i know well enough not to try and force them. Door cards off and then we'll see. I was hoping to get a petrol fla...

Turret tops are in great condition..... shame there's corrosion within 30cm of a prescribed area as far as an MOT man would be concerned :)

Re: 411 LE, parts to be saved, act quickly

Engine mountings were in a similar condition to the front bumper mountings. Almost nothing left of the bolts, lots of rust and in the end I just used a cutting disc to slice through the remains of what was there. No idea on the slave, I didn't even separate the box and engine, but I'll probably just...

Re: 411 LE, parts to be saved, act quickly

Right, I have added those requests to my list.

I don't remember even seeing a fuel filler pipe, the rubber boot was pretty much disintegrated but I'll check

Nice to see so many type 4 members popping up for this rare opportunity :thumbsup:

Re: '67 Square continued.....

Too late now but I seem to recall you should not adjust the push rod.

I can't remember what brake system you are running, but start with the basics:

Adjust rear drums
Bleed system
Check for warped discs or wheel bearing play allowing the discs to knock the pads back

Re: 411 LE, parts to be saved, act quickly

Door lock removed, the keycode is VB xxxx. (code removed, key now sourced)

I don't suppose anyone has a spare key I could borrow, or have you get one cut from your master ?

Re: 411 LE, parts to be saved, act quickly

I was thinking that you might want to come and cut the pieces off yourself.

Gutters and roof actually seem to be decent, the rust is mainly at the front and lower edges.

I'm in North Yorkshire (see sig) and you ?

Re: 411 LE, parts to be saved, act quickly

I think this is far beyond saving, unless you are particularly skilled and ambitious, you can see the absence of a front inner wing. the front mounts for the trailing arms are also hanging free due to rust, hence the somewhat excessive amount of toe in. So, I think the best thing is to save what can...
