exhaust bracket welded back on, welded both sides, nice and strong, that's the third item on the list, going ok, but it's hard in a single garage finding enough room to work. Now off with the rear drums.

Red Hermatite is on my shopping list, thanks for the tip. First job on the MOT list done, the steering gaiter resecured both ends with zip ties, got my son to wheel the steering lock while I watched the gaiter do it's thing. Now for the track rod end, the list says it's loose... http://i67.tinypic.c...

Another February MOT fail, quite a long list this year, and Alice has done low milage since the last MOT. This year's is epic. I have never had a list like this, mainly brakes. the rest is trivial stuff that takes minutes once you have possession of the correct parts. http://i67.tinypic.com/11lmwcn....

Can the mods save this to the scrapyards thread please.

Budgie, sim and BMC go to the top of the class, you were all correct, it was the Solenoid. I ordered a new one and a starter switch as I was convinced there should have been 12 volts on the white red wire terminal, wrong. The parts were ordered from BM @ 0930 yesterday morning, arrived at 10 am toda...

the starter motor coughed momentarily when I bridged the gap between the solenoid terminals, bypassing the switching inside and going streight to the starter motor, so it's not that. I had a thought of switching the white red wire from the starter switch to solenoid, replacing it on the spare termin...

cheers Sim, I'll check that, back in a mo

hi all, car wouldn't start this morning, the ignition warning light and oil orange came on, but no clicks and def no starter motor noise. (thought it was the teeth meshed together with the starter and fly wheel, but it's not) 12 volts battery and connections both sides of the solenoid when earthed b...

wow, this is a car with a very personal history for you Trina, when Zippie's on the road again, with you behind the wheel, everyone you drive passed will see you grinning from ear to ear.

you made a nice strong job on that floor (pic two from top) looks almost landmine proof. Like your cardboard template pic 5, coming along steady, taking you time ,great to see.

second pic from the top, wheel just peekin through the arch, is that a trial fit on how you are having the suspesion lol. Love that number plate FYI "for your infomation". Nice amount of space you have around the car to work, very wise. Looking forward to seeing how it all turns out, agree about the...

I do like that colour tone seperation,very subtle and have to say, classy looking.

wooohoo Fin, go Fella, that's one hec of a update, more like a photo essay, great to see you're still passionate about Mog, she's keeping you busy, keeping your brain sharp. Like that you had the pistons numbered up in ice cream tubs so they can go back in the same order they came out, good thinking...

cheers Panky, that little stub has no use I can find, it's just a manufacture stub, so I cut it off and painted it black to stop it rusting. The spring inside the headlight bucket was fighting me all the way, I was cursing not being able to find my long rat nose pliers when I noticed them on the she...

the old wing had to be cut apart to free up the headlamp bowl.[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1463938008_9563 [/frame] ready for a good scrub in a bowl of car wash[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1463938048_9563 [/frame] amazing the weathering it's had in the short time since it...

the new wing needed a tap here and a knock there to get it in position, the rear shut line was even all the way down, but it's here at the front, joining the hockey sticks that is where my trouble starts.[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1463924903_9563 [/frame] the rad panel is old, rusty ...

first steps to todays work, move the car to one side of the garage and jack it up on an axle stand and remove the front wheel. Undo the lights and unbolt the wing. [frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1463924496_9563 [/frame] checking the old wing over there is rust on both sides of the rear a...

top coated and hung up out of the way to harden off[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1463741187_9563 [/frame] waiting for a few days off from work when I can fit the wing. In the meantime it's up here on the bike rack out of trouble.[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1463741312_9563...

i'm leaving this top rear corner in primer and plan on spraying it in body colour.[frame][/frame]
