Took all the broken bits to a mate who has a company that makes neon signs for BP. I made a template out of card with the critical connector positions and holes for mounting and ran through the suggested ideas, he agreed that the solution lay with a new medium for the board. He was a bit stumpted as...

It just shattered into small pieces!

Help!... While dismantling the A/C heater box to fix a leak, the a/c blower resistor fell to bits when I removed the connector. :oops: Does anyone know if they can be repaired with a replacement base (it's beyond sticking back together) or where a replacement can be found NOS or used? I think the pa...

Car is going back in Tor-Red (EV2) with black vinyl roof, gold dust trail, black transverse stripe and performance hood paint. The only changes to the car is the omission of the rocker mouldings, removing the A/C and it lost its original 383 engine and 727 transmission before it came to the UK in 91...

1970 RM23 Roadrunner

Hi all, Couple of shots of progress on the 70RR. Rear quarters finished and engine bay prepaired for paint. Still a bit to do before the actual paint, but getting closer! The rusty looking K member is just Tor-Red paint dust stuck to the oil/power steering fluid leaks. The whole underside has been s...

I have restored at least seven cars from the ground up and have never considered it as a financial investment, but I do enjoy it and I am lucky to have a Wife who lets me slope off into the garage while she mows the lawn. I cannot say that I have money spilling out my pockets but to buy the best car...

Hi all, Thanks for all your kind words, to answer a couple of questions I will be maintaining the Tor-Red/black vinyl roof/stripes. I understand that the engine swap was done in the States, but I would like to contact the first UK owner to talk about the car, I can see that he enjoyed his ownership ...

Hi all, Found another shot of the stripped out engine bay and a shot of one of its stable mates, 1969 Triumph Vitesse that I bought on Ebay for £410.00, very drunk at the time, discovered it was in the Isle of Wight, cost me about the same to get it on the ferry and back to Chester! On arrival at th...

Hi,

Found a shot on my laptop that fits! Here you can see it part stripped, now fully stripped and bits all over the place, too many of you will know that feeling!

Cheers

Hi, Thanks for the welcome, all my pictures need resizing, so I will look into that and post a shot or two once I have got my head around it. The car was originally a 383 auto but has a 440 4BBL out of a 69 GTX. It has a 3 speed console shift, buckets, vinyl top, a/c, RR stripe, Mag 500's, AM/FM, Ti...

However Wife ordered that one must go, but which one??? I can say that since buying the car I have enjoyed every...
