I can see the scammers jumping on this with glee - 'Just click on the link to see how you are doomed'

I once had an old chap come up to me at a show and was admiring my Commer Auto-Sleeper. He was insistent that they were built by VW and would not be dissuaded as he knew someone that worked at the factory :roll: Ah, a fellow ex-Commer owner :¬) many years ago I had a Commer Highwayman in fetching C...

My traveller is called Ted after my dad who had a few Minors (two travellers and a saloon) in the sixties.

Back end has a slight resemblance to a Citroen DS. I like it

The SPQR tools usually comes with a chart showing the number of clicks for different engines.

I think you get a refund for every whole month left.

Have you checked the in line fuse up near the control box

My traveller is under a Stormforce cover. I wasn't initially impressed as the car deteriorated badly over one winter but I think that the rot was well established anyway. Since the restoration, including a new frame, the car has fared much better while under it and it is out in all weathers. One thi...

I was just being silly. I didn’t mean to be rude. Yes indeed my wrinkles are not identical to the original. I was going to use the Sticky Fingers decal but when it arrived I didn’t think it was going to look right. I had a bit of an eventful day with heaters yesterday. The heater valve on the engin...

The heater fascia should be crackle/wrinkle.Very poor attention to detail And your wrinkles don't look like the original wrinkle pattern, so poor attention to detail on your part too! :lol: https://board.mmoc.org.uk/download/file.php?id=12116 Did you mean this company when you said Sticky Fingers? ...

Sorry to upset your sense of correctness and for doing it the way I want, not everyone is a slave to originality . I'll ignore your comments in future

I had Ted's heater to bits for a clean up when he was under surgery. The front plate was painted satin black but looked a bit drab and started to get scratched https://i.imgur.com/2HklxZd.jpg I was planning to use some Letraset to fill in the heater position lettering but couldn't find anything suit...

Mine arrived this morning too. Cheers

Panky may come back with his own ideas but here is a brief overview. The reasons for fitting a 940 head on a small block engine is to do with the breathing. That is getting the air/petrol mixture into the cylinder and the exhaust gasses out. The larger the inlet valves the more air/petrol mixture y...

No problem and I'm very happy to give an bit of insight to the modifications I've done over the last few years. I'm a natural fiddler I just can't help myself. When I first got Ted I absorbed all the modification information I could from the forum gurus like Phil and BMC Ecosse. I couldn't afford a ...
