Re: The dying traveller that refuses to die, restoration started
Apologies to the OP for wandering off topic, but I'm sure that many on here will join me in wishing Alan and his family much better luck next year.

Spanner recomendations
Having started to pull apart my Moggy today I discovered my limited selection of spanners and sockets that were not metric was just not cutting it. So I could do with a set of sockets and a set of spanners ideally under £75 for both. Any recommendations?

Re: The dying traveller that refuses to die.
Decision made, for now anyway... This was a complete car this morning. The metal is actually pretty solid I need a new drivers side floor and and a little touch up to the sill. Both doors are shot though. I took the roof panel off and the wood collapsed in on it's self. Before http://i1189.photobuck...

Re: The dying traveller that refuses to die.
If the car had been virtually written off, I'd want to make sure it's basically straight before throwing any cash at it, and then only if you have patience---a lot of it! I have the newspaper report from the incident with a photo of the car busted and the owner kept a written daily log of what they...

The dying traveller that refuses to die, restoration started
Well I took delivery today of what I hope was a fairly solid project traveler. It's future is now very uncertain as the condition is well awful. A little history on the car from its massive thick history file. I think this car is known to the MMOC and I would love to know more of it's history. In 19...

Re: Getting Ernie Back On The Road....
Loving the look, very different yet refreshing compared to the endless stock looking versions we get in the UK.

Re: sold my modern car!!!!!!!
Well done on getting rid of the modern, I keep thinking about it but then I get scared about the classic not working properly one day when I'm late for work.

Translation work can be quite good, and they even sometimes have company houses for workers from overseas. From experience I can say Bet 365 is good at looking after it's translators and they will provide accommodation if required.

Re: barrie's project
It looks fairly solid, and the quality of your paintwork is amazing. The finished car will be quite an eye catcher.

Re: Traveller Restoration
An amazing job your doing there, and your proposed mods sound very subtle yet useful. The car should come out as a very useable yet very mint minor.

Re: Winkley (I think), Devon
House is for sale, might be worth careful watching as I should think all the cars on the land will be sold with the house and then all sent to the scrapyard in one go.
