Ah. are we talking french blue here Dave.

<p></p><i></i>

You only know half the story Neil !!<br>
Let's just say when I decided to buy an older car, a Dolly wasn't the first choice.....<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :p --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... tongue.gif ALT=":p"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
Are you still meeting in Warrington, Mr Area Rep ?!<br>
And yes, b****y turd b***n autos are out to get me !<br>
Pete.<br>

I probably know more than you think. unfortunately I had to let dave down at the last minute because of personal circumstances. hope you enjoy it if you are taking it on.<br>
you will definitely need a garage now then.<br>
<br>
I don't think that I am the area rep. It was a short lived affair which was cut short by the re-emergence of dayle Perry from a long slumber. <br>
<br>
I may be something to do with the 1850 rep though?<br>
<br>
I haven't yet heard from dayle but last I heard he was trying to get a lancs meet together again. try e-mailing him.<br>

Are we talking about the same car ?<br>
Green 1850 ?<br>


<p></p><i></i>

We may be at crossed purposes here. I heard of a free pageant blue dolly 1500 for Gratis in stockport. I thought it was the same guy. Evidently not my friend.<br>
<br>
Hope you get fixed up soon though.<br>
neil.

Okay,thanks.Will be (hopefully) viewing a Brooklands Green 1850 tomorrow.<br>
Will be applying for a council lock-up soon as well.<br>
See ?! I am listening to your advice !! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>

Just got back from having a look.<br>
The temp gauge didn't work.There were holes in the footwell and A-pillar base.Oh and the front anti-roll bar had gone walkies.Plus the body work was generally scruffy.<br>
Any thoughts/observations ?

Learn to weld young man.<br>
<br>
whether you find a good or bad example you will need this valuable skill soon anyway.<br>
<br>
Have you found a lock up yet?<br>
<br>
Also keep an eye on all of the local papers and the loot etc. you will find that old gimmers tend to use the local evening papers.<br>

A post pillars corroded; this is a standard non optional extra!<br>
<br>
I may get shot down in flames here, but as I've sold many of them to 1500 owners here goes............the rear arb wasn't fitted to 1500's.<br>
<br>
If you want a car with minimal structural rust but a pair of plastic Claire Rayners get yourself down to Devon!!

<p></p><i></i>

If you have a 1500, get the rear anti-roll-bar from an 1850 or Sprint and stick it on. It'll only take ten minutes to fit and you'll be very very pleased.<br>

I walked. Just didn't get the "vibe" from the car.<br>
I reckon mig-welding courses at my local college will be about £200, so I'll probably go for that.Don't know about the lock-up just yet.<br>
BTW, how do you re-finish home welds ?<br>
Is it a case of priming/rust proofing the area, and then saving for a re-spray ?

I walked. Just didn't get the vibe.I reckon 200 squid (ish) will get me on a mig welding course at my local college.Don' know about the lock-up, still waiting for an application form (ditto Rimmers catalogue).<br>
BTW, how do you refinish repair areas ?<br>
Is it a case of priming the area (to protect it) and then saving for a re-spray ?

<p></p><i></i>

Uh, not sure what happened there.........
