i dunno whats wrong with me, but i am definately of the thinking that, "if it doesnt fit, dont try and wear it"

im only here once, and i dont have much else to waste my money on, apart from the house, the missis, our other cars etc lol

and all back together again, please excuse the one extra long thermostat stud, it only temporary. its a shame the manifold obscures the nicely painted engine

 

 

 

Temporary fix my foot, that bolt is still on the car now lol. 

 

I brought it last year off a chap in Kent.  I think he brought it from you, as there is some paperwork from the eBay listing.

 

It came to me with no antifreeze in so I draind it down and fitted a air bleed in the top hose of the rad.  It runs cool as  you like now.  Although I have not had the car through a summer yet!

sorry about that bolt, as you can see I had a list of jobs to do but didn't get round to them all.

 

how is the car doing now? out of everything I have had this is about the only things sometimes miss!

 

would love to see some new pics of it!!!

Awesome,does this mean we get to see it being restored?

The car is looking good.  Now has black set covers.  Did you fit them or did the chap I brought it from do it?  He had the engine out and fitted higher ratio diff gears.  He left an oil leak, which is annoying.  I can't see where the oil is leaking as it gets every where, I think due to all the air movement down there.  I don't really want to drop the engine just to fix the leak, so I will live with it for now.

 

The gel coat has faded quite a lot on the boot and bonnet.  It looks nice and shiny when you had it.  I'm borrowing my brothers buffer to give it a good t cut at the weekend,  That should bring it up to a good shine again.  I did a small patch by hand and it came up well.

 

 

Did you ever have the soft top on the car.  When I got it parts of the fixings to the top of the screen were missing.  I have made it fit using bits of s/steel studing and wing nuts.  It fits OK and looks good.

 

I had a look at your other photos on photobucket.  Love the disabled scooter regal supervan III.  Is it finished yet?  I have a 1963 3/25 regal and a 1973 3/30 regal (saloon version of the van)
