Spit n polish in Tonbridge, so local to me Dave. They’ve been around a long time, but I’ve never used them before. I’ve heard more good things about them than bad over the years so I think I’ll give them a go. Nicely refurbed wheels will probably be the best looking part of the car though!

Thanks Dave.The wheels have come up well Dave It’s a big expense for me. I usually like to do these things myself, but just don’t have the time at the moment to refurb five wheels. They’ve turned out nicely though and will definitely be the best looking bit of the car! |

The joy of classics Bish, they'll always be something needing doing, but a fuel leak - totally agree thats something you want to find now. I'll need to update my post. I'm hoping to have the interior valeted next week and start fitting it. I'll MOT it but wont be used now until next summer, not going to TAX it over the winter months. |

My boot floor has holes and is very rusty. I dare not take out the tank just yet and see what lurks beneath! Actually that is not entirely true. I'd like to take it out, but I made the mistake of filling the fuel tank when I bought the car. However I haven't used it since driving it back, so I need to find some way of emptying it and somewhere to put a couple gallons of fuel. Have you tried any local radiator recoring places? I know they often have the ability and want to fix fuel tanks too. |

I have emailed my local radiator repair shop. My dad had his tr6 radiator re-cored there which they did a nice job of. Maybe they can help......
