I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. It’s definitely worth a try.

Yes it’s a bit of a conundrum. I have tried to contact JDHT, but they don’t seem to minding their phones due to staff working at home. I have emailed too - but have had no reply as yet. It’ll be a shame if I can’t get the original colour again. All the wheels on the car will need refurbishing event...

I think bodywork is very often the most time consuming job on cars. It’s a good effort. Hopefully it will all come good in the end.

That must've been a satisfying milestone, Simon! One of the reasons we bought our current place was storage space and depending on the reader's perspective it was either sad or cool that the cars moved in before our furniture did... ;) One of the reasons? :lol: Great news Simon.

There’s a genuine Tow electrics kit too. But it’s MY specific as usual for 40 electrics. I have one ava...

Hi Larry, I am pretty sure I spotted at least one of the thermostats when I was looking for a leak last year, so I assume they both have not been removed by a previous owner. But could a defect thermostat cause the same behaviour? Oliver Genuine new Thermostats £8.54 each. (Two needed of course). U...

The local heat wave has kept me away from my storage/workshop, so only a parcel update for now. 50213969566_2d8934dd3e_w.jpg AJ6 Engineering has been swamped with orders since the beginning of the pandemic, so I had to be patient, not my strongest point... ;) This ECU has been reprogrammed to 'unde...
