| | Thanks Woody for pointing out the correct orientation for the anti-roll bar brackets,this explains why I had such a struggle to get the bolts through,it should be much easier with every thing in the right place! | |

| Whilst on a high from all the very encouraging comments about the project (thanks to everyone who commented), I decide to crack on with preparing the bonnet and boot lid for paint. I decided there was enough rust in the boot lid to warrant getting the welder out, as usual I got a bit ambitious with the amps and blew a few holes!
Once the paint was removed from the underside of the bonnet quite a lot of rust was revealed, I am wondering if this could be a result of an engine fire at sometime? A going over with the sand blaster outside on a tarpaulin has cleared this up a lot. Next task is to remove the paint from the top of the bonnet.

| Rust in what you would think were of as benign places never ceases to amaze me.

Always nice to see your other 96 though, very nice, especially your Soccerballs which I am not usually a fan of. They have been done just right IMHO, subtle flatter paint not bling shiny.
Always reminds me of John Ashley Barkers 96 which I think he said he got from near new or new, low mileage, same colour as yours, his wife sold it for about £3300 which was cheap. A solid car, with an outside respray he was never happy about, I wonder what ever happened to it, as well as his blue one. Unfortunately I lost touch with John for a few years and he died in that time. I didn,t know anything about is health or his passing until later sadly. Apparently the two stroke he had has deteriorated quite badly which is such a shame considering the work that was put into it to get it in shape with very rare parts sourced. Some people sadly treat them like a modern car without preservation in mind and they can die in a handful of years... |
