That’s lovely Mark, great seeing the progress pictures.

More interested in the size of your house than the car.

Cars awesome too though, nice project.

 

[Mark King]

Class. Van looks awesome too in fairness.

Is it "just" mechanically needing a bit of fettling, or is the body going to need some TLC too?

Looks decent enough in the pics, but in the right camera lighting I don't look bald either

No just mechanical. The shell is very good

Amazing how simple they are underneath compared to modern stuff. Looks lovely that.

Yea so easy worked at and loads of space unlike new stuff

Surely you mean with the lens cover still on?

And some clown even painted the inside of the drums.

Interiors wrong and the sunroof rattles like ****. Charles hurst have only had the four goes at fixing it and still rattling ffs.

Charles Hurst couldn't fix a cup of tea ffs nevermind a hand made Bentley

Can't wait to see the progress on this. Keep the posts coming please

Love this Mark. Looking forward to seeing it all back together

 

[TheDaniel]

Lovely! Health to tinker.

Heads away to Roy brown to see what cam is in it and to give the 45s the once over,wheels and a few other bits to get powder coated left with nu-luk. So while waiting for those to come back made a start on the suspension. Decided to go gaz coil over and ap brakes with j book bells. All stripped blasted and painted and built up with new bearings.
From this

to this

When you see the strip down and underside, you really see how you could work on older cars yourself and enjoy it, rather than the all new way of electric and computers. Class thread.

Fantastic work!

 

[HILL9N3GTI]

top quality its a pity the effort wasn't put into it before the sale but this thing is awesome can smell the interior from here

 

[Gaz]

Lovely, had to do a double-take there as we had one many years ago with reg ending in 'V' - same colour inside and out. Different car though.

Great project to have!

Love the Welsh Road Rally Spec RS2000 look, hard as nails. Effectively a narrow body Group 4 car in suspension terms with a healthy pinto and single sidedraught to stay within the regs. This is what a lottery win car looks like for me.

Great wee car. I admire your courage and patience when rebuilding engines. I can’t handle the failure anymore lol
