Alan

Im glad you have nice drums they look as though they might clean up fine....

I think my brakes are the same, my car was last taxed in 1974 the engine started fine before I removed it, and will hopefully be ok but the brakes have all rusted the piping is all falling apart, so bought new on ebay, also bought drums and other parts for the brakes but I worry about doing this job...

Well as me and my husband are the only MM owners in sunderland or seem to be, I thought I should start our own branch. Me and Alan have tried to join the northeast MM website but there is no option to join and when we emailed them they have simply not responded.... Maybe they dont welcome newcomers,...

There are good things about my car! however you are right at the moment I plan to touch and try to restore or replace anything rotten or broken... There is a lot of rust and rotting woods, however it has been untouched for about 15 years.

Thank you for the reminder of how bad things are...

Alan

I think getting something with an MOT for a 1000£ will be very difficult because I notice when the car owners on line have an MOT on there cars they increase the price even if the car is no good. some garage owners who are selling can put there own MOT on a bad car. This is not good but I notice thi...

by the way - it looks like you have a really nice car!!!

Alan

In december 2011 I lost my first wife and daughter which was a very emotional time for me. My solicitor dealing with th...
