Unfortunately secondhand radiators are best left well alone, even if bought from a usually reliable source. They seem to deteriorate inside, especially around the various joins that are in there and once put into use, spring leaks in as many places as they feel like or don't cool the engine as they ...

How are things going with your Coupe?

Great stuff Marc! I did comment on your video as well!

Very nice! I've never been able to find models of cars i've owned, the nearest i've got is a JDM spec Datsun Skyline C210 that i need to build! Mine were all UK spec cars but i can find most of the correct bits in the kit. I do have a Triplex-sponsored SD1 rally car model but none of my SD1s were Tr...

I did think of a fir-tree fastener and modifiy it to give good grip then glue it on in place of the missing fingers so not far...

Good luck with the sale Simon, i hope it goes to an enthusiastic owner!

Excellent pics and write up ans always Stephan!

Bummer about the Vitty screen! :cry: :shock: :cry: Something i've seen done for heat shields which makes them easy to make is either perforated aluminium or thin aluminium sheets. Easily folded/shaped then bolt/rivet them all together with a washer separating each sheet from the one above. This give...

Aluminium work hardens very quickly so if you are going to do repeated operations, you'll need to anneal it in between them and i'd advise annealing it before you start. https://makeitfrommetal.com/how-to-anneal-aluminum-the-beginners-guide/ That tells you a fairly easy/foolproof method, the big thi...

Excellent news Mark, your perseverance paid off! Easy to see the differences between the 2.0 and 2.5 exhausts when they're side by side.
