BRAN FYND 20220129_212234.jpg Another Acclaim wing, the NS one on my car is a patchwork quilt. The OS cost me £40 from Rimmers a couple of years ago, this one was £80. Now NOS panels are getting scarce and more cars are being restored bits are getting pricey. There are a couple of cars that were wor...

I've a stripped Spitfire 1300 engine the bedroom and a Herald 12/50 motor in the basement. I'm not looking forwards to moving them again...

They aren't as heavy as Squire's lump at least...

Tis indeed 320Touring's, formerly FriedOnion's.

It's had new sills/floors for a couple of years now but has never quite managed to climb to the top of the priority list for an actual return to the road.

The passenger side door does have a habit of popping open...

Took this a spin around a car park. Nice old barge.
Needs the brakes going over, tyres and some carb seals and it'll be ready for summer motoring.

I'm surprised as I got the fucking thing advertised to me every time I opened Facebook... I suppose it is a touch niche.

Lack of arsedness...

I may well do that though once the cars are welded up.

The issue I find with factory drainage holes is they count on you having the car parked on fairly level ground. The Dolly fills the wrong bit of the footwells up, I haven't even managed to liberate the bungs in the Volvo's floor as they're undersealed in, although the rust holes do the same job...

Everything I own currently lives outside and leaks like fuck. The Volvo completely fills it's passenger side footwell with water and turns completely white inside from condensation. The Acclaim fills it's boot and dribbles into the area behind the rear seat, I have to wipe down the rear window on th...
