yes thats a good idea, I think two of the patches are bad enough but also not too complex a shape that I will have a go myself, the rot is quite deep. I've bought a load of jelonite rust converter spray!! What I like to do is get rust and paint off back to bare metal, Kurust or jelonite it and...

tbh most of the work happened last year, most of the summer of '23 she sat immobile due to no rad and then the cylinder head was off for a long time.

Thankyou, this is a compression of 1-2years of work on and off. The thing is from the outside she looks much the same if a bit shabbier. The work has all gone on where it cant be seen (as has been questioned by the rest of the family!). So far I've also forked out to have the van be stored over...

But...I love driving the old thing

At the moment she is pretty loud and obnoxious, there is no sound deadening in the van at all. I'm hoping with some applied and getting the exhaust to really bolt home it will be tolerable. Also with the overdrive I'm hoping 60mph is not so loud (or so thirsty). Oh and I have reoccurring...

So thought I'd better update whats happening with Daisy, as she has come to be known. Still a long road but so far the work has run to: * Mk2 escort rad * Davies craig pump and computer * A number of fans in push and pull configurations before finally getting a motorsport type job which works...

Thanks I'll have a look! I have been enquiring with Rootes Part Service Holland who have some original stock it seems. However it sounds like it wont deal with the step.

Just jumping in, is the van that the interior is coming out of a highwayman type body or a pop top van? Many thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I am on the lookout for a tow bar, I've seen some old threads mention some come and go (sadly to the scrapper in some cases :( ) If anyone has one lying around, preferably with a step on it, please let me know. Cheers, Mo

Sad times, maybe sell the bike and super carry and then have a think? BTW I love super carries, they are awesome little things.

I love the run on function too, it’s made a big difference to my van, I’ve not had a super hot day to try it but I did go out on a day it was 28 and thrashed down the a47 in 4th at 60mph. I just about got it to go to 90degrees! Most of the time it sits at 85 - 88. Having a motorsport fan as a...

If it should fall through please let me know

Aww shame, just too late. Thanks anyway

I’ve seen on Facebook that there is a guy in Australia making some although what price I’m not sure. I too need some bits here and there

Hiya, I’m interested do you have any photos?

That is a good idea, in a similar vein I’m having to contemplate welding in the street/on the drive and want a spark proof welding tent to protect others from arc eye etc.

It easy to sort with the pic on a laptop, in windows for sure there is a ‘save without location data’ and it makes a location-less copy. But it means faffing with uploading your pics from your phone, making a copy and then uploading to forum etc and life keep getting the way!

It’s all pretty precise with gps coordinates

Not that anyone here would do that but if the info is out there on the net…

Aah well I think all phones and most cameras save metadata along with the photo in the file. You hear stories of people putting up ‘spotted in driveway’ pictures to groups and then the motor was nicked.
