Purchased a new coolant expansion / header tank to replace the original 1988 part from the donor car. For the first time since building the car you can see the coolant level! Should have replaced...

Outside observer, not seen any of these in person so I may be talking nonsense:

Is there a gusset or any triangulation above the part that seems to be floating free air (circled in red) - other...

Looks great :)

Some of these are pure entertainment, some more serious and some are more technical - all car stuff though:

Thanks :) Circlip, that's an excellent solution. Will keep that in mind if it comes loose again. Yeah I did the other side too, I really didn't want to have to extract the heater again any time soon.

You can never get to a project being 'finished' ;)

For a number of years now the heater has caused problems with the fans moving out on the shaft and scraping against the side of the outer casing. The tick tick scraping noise can be heard even with...

Thanks, I'm looking forward to having a play with the settings next decent weather day. It also prepares it if I decide to add bigger brakes so I can balance it properly (something I've thought about...

Radiator Return Pipe

Since the car was built the return radiator hose as been a long flexi pipe, this was never a good solution. At some points the pipe rubs which eventually would have cause a...

Welcome :) really like the colour

Nice, looks really good :)

I had some issues last year at the normal place I go to - they failed my Sportster for high hydrocarbons - they used the wrong test criteria for age of the engine.

It's an 1988 engine so no CAT...

Nice, well done :)

designing a bracket right can take so long, especially the way they approach it with perfection!

yeah Cobra Roadster 7's - not impressed with the quality. I've had the cover off the driver seat to weld the frame back together as it had snapped on both sides (there are less than 7000 miles on the...

Thanks :)

I ended up changing the filler pipe and the hoses for the vent last weekend. Degraded rubber, the fill hose more solid than rubber. The garage, and as a result my kitchen, bathroom and...

The BMW one didn't come what you would consider a traditional manual, it was a CD with pictures. I'll drop you a PM.

I can't comment on fit on a 97, but on my 2005 - E30 BMW based kit I'm using metro ball joints, part number: GSJ268

I normally get them from mini spares, they don't last very long though:...

Lots of great advice, thank you :)

Shame I only just rebuilt my exhaust a couple year ago, I have 4 tips out the rear middle again - which I prefer visually https://youtu.be/KXJBKerTiNI

Looks really nice too :) That will spread the mouting load quite a bit.

The wings I'm using are substantially lighter than the originals, after the first wing stay failure I bought these. You...

Thanks, something for me to research for the next set! :)

Did have any good standard clamps handy, the old ones were no longer holding properly. These are exhaust clamps, they're not coming off. They're done up with a 10mm socket.

The templates help a lot getting the final bend to sit about right. I used a calliper to measure the distance from the bottom of the tread over the whole tyre for the final adjustment. I also tried...

That's a good idea, need to see if I have enough speaker grill cloth to mock something up to try.

Years ago I added side screens which greatly reduced wind buffetting in the car, but did make the...
