Interests
Buying classic Fords, taking them to pieces and never finishing them off, love welding, buying too many wheels, passionate about Essex V6's, especially in a Savage.

I think somewhere in my many storage spaces, l have an inlet manifold for a OHC twin choke Weber, if l can find it, you can have it for the cost of postage, first l have to find it, if you want to go down the route of a twin choke at a later stage.

Is the side glass flat ???
-
Above is very true, l always try to get on with my MOT tester, and he knows that l will straight away ie the same day put anything that was advisory to good, so nearly always no advisories, but there is garage that unless l am really desperate for a MOT, l avoid, a good decent car would get probably 5 advisories, just to cover his ar*e, but VOSA are becoming a nightmare apparently.
-
Selling or buying? The trouble with any auto box if buying second hand, is what has it been through, l am always interested in a second hand good condition, reasonably priced C3 as a spare for my Granada.
-
Probably the over use of silicone weighing the engine bay down has forced the back end up.
-
Cheers, my 2.3 Ghia doesn't have the original supplying invoice, but it has some unusual accessories.
-
Ghia badges missing from the wings and is that rust on the nearside rear inside arch !!!!, I still like it, but you can't really tell how good the gutter trim is, because of his pictures.
-
That is what l would have thought, a lot of people paint RS alloys black, which is incorrect.
-
How do you know it is a S, shocks will be long gone, what other features would or should it have?
-
I own two Ghias, and neither has diamond cut alloys, but they will have, and l wouldn't have thought they were painted white, but l have been wrong on several occasions. Local engineering company allows me to use there big lathe to do my own diamond cutting, l have done them before by hand, 600, 1000, 2000, 4000 foam polishing mop and G10, takes forever. The Ghia in question does look a fine example, reserve is less than £10k, so £9999.99 buys it. I wonder why there are no underbody shots or cross member or rear axle shots, those are the areas l would be looking at, because they are very time consuming to restore.

He has a good eBay identity

Apply to DVLA,if it is a UK car there must be some "trail" you can follow up on, no matter how long it has been off the road.
-
That was really unfortunate, can't help you with the panels, got a pair of Mk4 wings, waiting for that elusive 2.0S to turn up.
-
Are the A pillars and gutters any good and are the gutters on the C posts any good, if yes, l would buy them off you pending price, depending on where you are, l could remove them.
-
No, l mean £12.00 a square inch, there are plenty of places that will do a sh*t job, just a small selection of components normally come to £300.00, what about the stainless steel replacement ones, they would work out cheaper.
