Look like a good fit. https://www.classicandretroautos.co.uk/home.html Don't know how I haven't seen them before, they're only about 10 miles away. They can get it picked up fairly soon Hope that this works out okay. Actually quite excited now. These guys sound like they know their stuff, and are keen to get it turned around... Might get it back on the road soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Thats awesome news mate!! Tubs willbe making her return to the road soon by the sounds of it!! She can join DD (took her in for MOT even though we have the 6 mnth extension, as I wanted her done at my local garage before we move on friday). Needed handbrake adjusted (which I knew about but tools are all packed away again so got them to do it) advisory on the trailing arm bushes again (says theyre still good for at least another year, and again, I already knew about them) and a very small oil leak from sump. And thats it! shes passed and driving amazingly well. Not bad for an old 20yr old! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 Had a call from the new garage who've basically condemned what was done before, and said it needs thousands spending and that they don't think it's worth it. Going down to take a look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 The old girl is not in a happy state. Work that the last place did needs redoing, and much more. I'm waiting to find out a list of unicorn parts that I need to find. One thing that it needs is the rear cross member, which is discontinued. I'm wondering whether a dc2 / eg one would do the job because of braces etc fitting. @KiNK43 would you know from your eg days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sort of subframe area the arms bolt too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_broon Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 Not a good advert for the work of the place. You can't just paint over rust or weld new to rusty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Holy f**k. How is it that bad? The eg subframe is similar for sure, same width I recon as for the shape how it sits to the floor i dont know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
