Re: Selling car nightmare! Grrr

It looks ok, the only thing that could be putting people off is the write off :( Sadly I'd expect a non crash repaired to be not far off that price.

How long have you had the car? I gather that you brought the car damaged and then got it back on the road?

Re: Headlight upgrade

Hmm, I have heard Raybrigs been mentioned a fair bit. Personally I went to Halfords and got the mega bulbs (90% brighter) i.e. the ones that are bright as you can go on the road..... job done :thumleft: If you have standard bulbs then it can be fun. Even now people claim not to have seen the car :sh...

Re: Bonnet catches1av1b are they different?

Can't say I've noticed any differences. I had the same trouble as you. Check whether the bonnet is on square as this caused mine not to shut. Also get a torch and look at where the bonnet meets the catch. You should have some tolerance in the mounting bracket to allow you to move the bracket about b...

Re: Car is now dead

Given the weather we've had the cold could have just killed the battery. If you have a charger just put the battery on charge overnight. Otherwise, give it a jump and a run around the block for 20-30 mins. Then see if the battery is still toast.

Re: D 406 UGP Mk 1 Rolling Shell - ideal basis for track car or for conversion

I can't buy the whole motor but seeing that you could be interested in splitting the wheels.... I'd be interested in these. I could even bring some other wheels to swap them with :thumleft:

Re: Grrr.... someone just killed my Mk1

Sorry to hear about that, really annoying when it's not your fault. Looks like it may well be repairable to me. Insurance won't do it, but if you haven't bent anything the suspensions tied to it's got to be worth a go. Right guys? It's all bolt on round there. Coulda brought it to Stoneleigh, we mi...

Re: Beware of Ebay user breaking Mk1

Now I remember this ebay user name. I did ask him about a Mica blue that he was breaking http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320298076240&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:GB:1123 I did ask for the bumper and slam panel but heard nothing (didn't give him any money though). Heard nothing...

Are you able to call the AA to get it towed? You should be able to get them to tow the car back home.

Re: possible bargain for someone?

That does look good, a few months ago and I would have been down there in a flash. I'm taking a mate out in mine tomorrow and I have a very strong feeling that he's going to want one (and then get one) :D

I'd love to, I really would. However I'm doing the Teeside night sprint the day before so I won't make it down in time :( Did mention this earlier and I was considering going anyway, but its too tight.

Re: Front wings ??

I have searched around. To anyone who has brought the fibre-glass wings, how do these compare weight wise to the steel ones? Is there much of a weight difference?

I need to get mine either repaired and sprayed or just get fibre-glass ones and get those sprayed :)
