I have a decent Clubman Estate roof if you're still looking.Pillars are cut shorter than Jamie's one.

Re: Wheels

Usually stamped on the back of the wheel otherwise you would have to measure from the inside of the rim to inside of the rim which would mean taking a tyre off but try the back first.

Re: Ciarans 1380 Cooper

The problem is that getting a better shell than that is going to cost money and it will probably still need work.At least if you do your own shell properly and rust proof it,you know what you have.

Re: IMM 2016 BELGIUM

Hopefully they have allowed us enough room for everyone,I emailed them the amount of cars and people that we had on April the 8th so we should be good.In Kent,the organisers did not have us down for our own camp site even though I did email them our requirements which meant we had to go to the unres...

Re: subframes - paint or powder

I have had two sets of subframes powder coated and the first one is showing signs of rust whereas the second it not.I think the prep for the second was better.The thing with powder coat is that it loses it shine after a while and becomes dull.I think the next set I do I will get them blasted and use...

Re: IMM 2016 BELGIUM

I contacted them in early April when they opened for business in the 2016 season and they would not accept one night bookings in their mobile homes,they would only accept a minimum of a 2 night stay.Maybe they have changed their policy but I booked in Abbeville instead.

Remove the rad,alternator and manifold along with the exhaust.If you split the top ball joint you can pop the pot joint out but drain the oil first.You can leave the speedo cable connected until the engine is up a bit and then undo it when you have the room.You need to undo the gearchange,I forget w...

Re: cleaning wheels

You are going to have to polish those rims as there is corrosion on the aluminium under the lacquer.Youtube has loads of videos of how to polish wheel rims or get them professionally refurbished.
