"Sean Hamerton" wrote Any constructive feedback is greatly appreciated. Why not just buy a Sunbeam Tiger? Small car, huge engine, similar results, I would think (great in a straight line, dodgy round corners). No?

All, Further to my last mail, we have decided to sell. If anyone wants the car - theirs for £500 ono It is a mk2 1.3 Ford Escort Ghia. It is light blue with a Vinyl covered roof, but the Vinyl has peeled off in most places and will need replacing. Otherwise, the car is in excellent condition, starts easily and runs

Hello, I really want my car pink.. so much in fact, I have devoted a website to that exact end in the hope of raising enough sponsorship to make my glittery pink dream a reality. I need as much help with my quest as possible and wondered if you would be interested in making a pinkless woman happy and content. You can read my plight here http://www.paintmycarpink.com I hope you will feature...

TEST "Ed" wrote in message ... The trick with cans is to REALLY shake them for 5 minutes before you use them - use LOTS of light coats so that each drys before the next (only takes a minute), and ONLY mask off surrounding panels (never mask off part of a panel!) The best canned-paint I got from a place in Brum which...

Wonder if anyone using this group has any specific experience of making hand made panels, using a wheeling machine? I know this is perhaps unlikely, but it would be very helpful if anyone did, as I would like to ask a few questions regarding this. TIA Chris

I was talking with my next door neighbour today, and he has recently transplanted a 3.5 litre rover V8 into his mk1 Landrover. I brought up the idea of putting a rover V8 into a Spitfire, and he thought it would be fairly easy to acheive. How realistic is this idea, and what would the major problems with such a transplant?

All, Sorry, new to this group. I have been asked by a friend to see if anyone would be interested in buying the following car. I have no idea on the value, so maybe some pointers here would be good. It is a mk2 1.3 Ford Escort Ghia. It is light blue with a Vinyl covered roof, but the Vinyl has peeled off in most places and will need replacing.

Having read all the replies I am a bit surprised you've not had one from someone who has actually done it. Chap I work with has a Rover V8 in his hurricane. He races all over the place for fun...in fact we're off to the Nurburg in a month. I have a feeling that he runs a pretty standard diff/clutch/gearbox and doesn't have problems. THe thing he does say is to make sure everything is working as...

2x 1965 4lt R's. Would like at least one to go for restoration but may be too far gone. Loads of good parts inc engines. Several 1500 Midgets for breaking. Mail me for more detail. Graeme

Anyone got ant idea where I might be able to find a decent set of heads for my Ford 302? Plenty about in the US but haven't found many places in the UK. Cheers, Dan

Wow - that is one rusty sill! I had an FD1600 as my first car, then an FE1800 and FE2300 after university. The original outer sill became so thin that I gouged a huge hole in it against a rock in a car park, but the middle part of the sill was still perfect - that would have been in 1987 (on a 'N' reg car). The FE1800 had a good body, and the FE2300 a good engine so the way forward was obvious!...

Someone recently mentioned the Apollo HVLP Spray set as a worthwhile purchase for spraying cellulose instead of the normal compressor etc. Has anyone any comments re the various versions ? Is the cheapeat worth buying? Is it easy to keep clean? Where`s the cheapest seller?

Hi All I'm putting my A series engine back together after a complete re-build of my Frogeye. I can't remember what sort of lock nut it had on the flywheel bolts. My Haynes manual shows some of the two holed arc of metal types, but I can't find any in my box of bits -any ideas? Regards Stephen
