M5Greg 83 Posted August 8, 2020 Just a little update, took the car for its second MOT today and it passed no problem, hard to believe its been on the road for a year even if it hasn't had much use. Finally decided to fit the mud flaps and I'm really pleased with how it looks, I held off fitting them because of the insane price sets go for I was worried about loosing one, the last set of 2 I saw went for £120. The only problem is the instruction picture on the back shows the bolt heads facing outwards towards the tyres which I think doesn't look right so I've turned them round for now. Had to remove the engine a few weeks ago because of a bad oil leak from the sump gasket, when I gave the engine a quick overhaul I used the later one piece rubber gasket, which leaked. Still not learning my lesson I dropped the front cross member and all its attachments and tried another one with the correct sealant, it leaked even worse so I took the engine out this time as its easier and used the original style multi piece gasket with Wells seal. A few miles and weeks later its dry as a bone, apart from normal maintenance and whatever comes up I think she's finally finished so thank you all for the praises, kind words, help and encouragement, it means a lot to me. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garyo 0 Posted November 2, 2021 Hi Greg, I was looking through my old photo album, and found a few pics of cars i drove, and looked them up to see if they were still on the road or had Mot history etc, & your car came up TNC 88X...... i drove it brand new & was my demonstrator at Quicks.... I will dig out the 2 photos and post them on the forum if interested? i also had another Carbodies, TNC 750X, as my demonstrator afterwards, and had it for a long period, which it was nice in the summer, but not in the winter! it was a Dark Gold colour, and I think we sprayed the lower half a light gold colour, in a bid to create interest. cheers Gary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
