Happy Birthday mate

Cheers, Lee and Joe Baz and everyone else

err, you might want to ask them if they know what they’re doing if they’ve told you you’re having a straight axle IRS because you can only have one or the other - they are completely different systems.

Yes I guess that makes sense re the target when you sell ad there’s quite a following. I suppose there’s not that many people buy new cars/vans outright these days so I didn’t really consider that. Hope it all works out and you don’t get stung but I doubt you will.

Ethanol in fuel degrading the rubber probably the main culprit. It’s across all classic cars. If you use Esso super supreme unleaded or whatever their expensive one is called it contains zero ethanol. Unless you live on Devon, Cornwall, Scotland and the NE The next best one is Texaco super duper un...

Hi Kevin, We were discussing electric/non fossil fuel powered vehicles today at work. How long do you think it will be before you need a permit or licence to buy petrol for a classic vehicle and old be able to drive it X miles per year to an organised meeting/show ? I reckon around the 25-30 year ma...

Looks great and even better that you’ve done it all yourself. Well done.

Hmm, dunno what’s happened to the pictures :lol: Oh...and lovely house with History! Sincerely hope you will be very happy there! We moved end of July and still in chaos! LOL.. I am enjoying the move.. especially the quality time with the family n the grand daughter squashing...LOL Cheers matey :che...

View out of my window. What’s not to like. Over the other side of the house there’s an uninterrupted view of about 5 miles across the valley and to the left you can see the Atlantic :cheers: 305FDE98-6B19-48C9-B64C-1719F1E5B6DF.jpeg Here’s a shot of one of our trips out last summer just before we mo...

Funny enough when we give people directions we tell them to go almost to the end of the road and we’re the pink cottage on the left.

so I’m told

Not sure whether you’ve noticed, but your garage is pink. Just saying... :lol: the whole house is pink :lol: Mrs E is trying to talk me into painting it a sort of light green but I quite like it as it is. I reckon it makes it look and feel more “cottage” like if that makes sense. Given it’s about 1...

Probably a culmination of all of those Ron.

Good to see you back in it dude
Look forward to some more of those awesome fabrication skills.
Do you have a body for it or are are you building it from new panels? I know you can get a complete roof now but don’t think that goes for BD roofs.

When we bought the house the garage had been converted so that half of it was an office. It had been professionally done with a raised insulated floor, power, tv and phone points and also plaster boarded out and plastered and decorated plus there was carpet and skirting boards down. The stud wall se...

Yeah it’s silly things like not being able to reach the window latches in one of the bedrooms so I can’t open the top windows :lol: We have some lovely ceiling roses and quite a bit of original detail like picture rails (can’t reach them either) and coving and lovely brass door knobs. Thankfully we ...

Ah ok makes sense now. That’s a bummer but it is solvable. Either wind a bolt in from the inside (tricky but can be done) and loctite it in or as suggested above use the 8mm down to 6mm studs. Personally I’d try to get a 6mm bolt down from inside first as the other method is last chance saloon. You ...
