Hi, it became pretty neglected again. But I recently fitted a DCD Webber carb, it runs much better but needs a few tweaks. I have a new battery and have a new accelerator Cable ready to be fitted. So some progress has happened. I hope things have been good with you? I really appreciate what you organised. It will definitely be hugely positive to see similar afternoons organised. Even just the social side of it was massive for me.

Can confirm I had a fantastic afternoon. Made some progress on the car and enjoyed some good company. Mental health wise I felt normal, like I was part of the team. Crazy that that was almost 3 years ago!

Chris is a good man! I'm absolutely over the moon with the work he done. I really appreciate that

I'm happy that everybody enjoyed themselves. I posted in the depression thread a while ago and Joe initiated the process of getting people together and helping me out. So almost 2 years ago I broke my C4 and C5 vertebrae diving into shallow water. Not the smartest thing I've ever done and I definitely wouldn't recommend it. I'm still trying to figure things out but seeing some progress on the car is absolutely huge for me.

Thank you so much to everybody that came. It was great to see some progress and just really nice seeing everybody have a good time. I really appreciate it. I will get a new battery this week, was there anything else that needs to be done? I will try and source the corner Cover things for the rear window. Once again thank you everyone

I sure did, and you worked for Mark?

That all sounds great! The barbecue would be handy but not essential.

Hi guys, really looking forward to Sunday. Can I get a rough idea on numbers? So I know how many burger patties to Make and how much beer to buy.

Everybody is welcome! If you can't spin a spanner you can just hang out and have a burger and beer! Really looking forward to meeting everyone

Hi guys, I want to say a huge thank you to all of you and especially Joe. This means so much to me. I will supply beer and food! I'm really looking forward to this it will be great to see some progress on the car and form some friendships. Thank you so much

No real progress pictures as such, so here's just a couple I liked. Rusty bits shall be gone soon and I'm excited to get to some meets and just enjoy the car.

Long time no update. The car is currently having the rust repairs done! This is ( or should be) the last big hurdle. Last year I took the car to a mechanic as it wasn't quite running as well as I thought it should be. There were a few issues which have now been sorted. Part of this process involved having the cylinder head rebuilt. Most of my issues ultimately came down to wear in the distributor shaft. Luckily Oldschool GC Will had that rebuilt for me and the car is running incredibly well now. I'm hoping to pick the car up in a few weeks. Then give it a quick once over and make sure everything's working as it should, get the new window rubbers fitted, change the gear box oil then take it for a pre wof check. I can't imagine that it'll need to much doing. So I have genuine hopes of it being on the road by the end of summer...... we'll see!

Thanks for the reply, I'll contact them.

Hey guys, my car is finally going in for rust repairs. I need it trailered as it's not road legal. Does anyone have a trailer and want to earn a few $$$ ? It kinda seems uneconomical to hire a trailer and find a suitable tow vehicle. So was just wondering if anyone has a set up for this? I could tow it on a rope as it starts and stops etc. I just get paranoid about these things. Cheers guys

Thank you! I assumed it would be simple enough. But didn't want to get stung with unpaid fees or what not.
