Out of Interest What did it go for?

Unacustomed as I am in giving praise, if there was an award within the club for promoting and preserving one of Britains finest little sports saloons.......................ahem the winner is............MAD MART

Out of Interest What did it go for?

Money, probably. At the moment we are still using money in transactions in the UK. Although we British always consider it rude to discuss actual amounts !

What do you use in New Zealand?

Spare roof sitting in my back yard; a present from Kev, but he allowed me the privilege of upsetting my neighbours one evening by cutting it off here

It's not spare, it's PFJs! Trying to sort something out Alun.

Well there's nothing that i can say, that i haven't already said in the past....can't wait to see the end result!

[Mad Mart]

Here we go again!...

Me & Mary set off for Devon at 9:00am. We met up at Crediton at about 10:30 with Paul from Truro (collecting BFR) & Michael who was trailering PFJ back to Weston for us.

PFJ was a little reluctant to leave it's home (for the last 18 years), the rear brakes had seized. So we coaxed it out with the help of a tow rope & Michael's 4x4.







The offside rear brake became unseized once we'd got it out of the garage but, even after towing the car for about 50 yds, the nearside was still holding firm. After removing the wheel & with a tap on the drum with a hammer, the nearside let go.





Once home, I couldn't wait to get stuck in...






Obviously the first thing to be removed was the hideous door mirror. If anyone wants it, it's at the bottom of the bin.

Looks Honeysuckle to me - HEY!!! it's not my car is it?

Just get those front indicators swapped around to the correct way eh Mart before you go any further?

[hutch76]

From pics., it almost looks like the body would be sorted with a good polish!

Getting excited about logging in again, with progress reports to look forward to!

Garage, still Sprintless up here!

Honeysuckle it is. Well spotted Alan, I hadn't noticed the indicators.


I've found a couple of places that need some attention/welding. Above the rear windscreen & behind the nearside rear wheel arch. I'm sure I can find some more.

One thing I did spot yesterday was that it has adjustable spring seats on the front shocks. Oh! and there's evidence it has been resprayed around the front scuttle.
