The square has reached it's winter quarters at last. Needs a really good clean and polish, then a bit of tinkering required. The n/s window regulator decided to fail this morning, so that's been added to the list. https://i.postimg.cc/28j08jhr/IMG-1616.jpg Managed to pick this bargain up whilst out ...

I save everything, that's why it taken so long to move into the new workshop.

Finally solved the issue of the air filters having no clearance to the decklid. 2/3rds of a E Type Jaguar IDF short stack filter set up. https://i.postimg.cc/YSbCS31g/IMG-1335.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Mp0GCxH9/IMG-1336.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/N0g0YVrB/IMG-1337.jpg Just need to find the bits I cut o...

I'm running 175/55/15 on the front of the squareback, abeit with 50bhp less than you.

Roof flashing makes great soundproofing, and a damn sight cheaper than dynamat. Used it on a couple of mini projects in the past and it works a treat.

And me, as long as you heat it gently and use a roller.

4 lug Speedmasters, very nice.

Took the square to see it's new home and neighbour.

I use a bit of liquid rubber gasket sealer just to hold the seals in position whilst reassembling, haven't had any leaks since.

Did you use any sealer on the cooler seals?

Very smart looking car, pleased to see another one on the UK roads! Youve done a great job of getting those wheels under there. It gives me hope for getting my 6in tyres under with out a horrible fight. IM generally not a modified sort so its all new to me. Im in the middle of trying to sort out ph...

I've got a NOS offside door skin for later doors.



Postage might be an issue though.

Thanks!

That's OK, I think they suit the later body style.

I like the BBS.

Yes, absolute bastard so I was told. Nick at CJ Motors did all the MOT work on the squareback and the bus as I was busy working around Birmingham last week. He said he clamped off the front lines and bled the rears for ages before he got a decent pedal. And it is a very decent pedal now. I'm in the ...

Production years run from 1st August to 31st July, so a build date of August 1966 would be a 1967 Model Year.

I've got two shipping containers to sort....

Back home with a fresh MOT, and fully operational brakes now there's more brake fluid than air in the rear circuit. https://i.postimg.cc/GpgmCrVS/IMG-1120.jpg I've acquired a new secure home for the fleet. Clean out, a couple of coats of paint, new lights, additional sockets and the hard work of mov...

I went to Aircooled camp out Banbury on the 5 July pretty good turn out considering. They are aiming for another meet in October. So stuff still going on.

Hello Rob.
Graham's hoping for the weekend of 2nd-4th October.
All socially-distanced pitches again.

Nice bit of paint there.

Lovely car

I'm not quite that bad, I only have 29 of which 11 are unopened.
I'm invited to a Glenfarcas tasting on Zoom this evening.

My wife knows I don’t disclose the real value of anything I purchase to her, whether car parts, records, whiskys, etc.

EMPI Coach steering wheel
Berg locking shifter
Porsche 944 staggered polished Teledials (to get the 8" rears to fit under the wings meant swapping to short axles with CSP disc conversion and rebuilt gearbox...)
2058 engine being built as we speak.
