Finally, I've re-joined...

Only a 25 year gap... #LOL

Still looking for the right car though, but now have an empty garage waiting.

Welcome back. I had a similar gap but I still have my original car, just wish I could find the time to finish it off!

Re: Finally, I've re-joined...

Stupidly I didn't purchase my old car when it was for sale two years back, in fact it came up twice at a good price but at the time I had no time to do the work it needed, now I do.

Your car looks a cracker in that thread you have started.

Re: Finally, I've re-joined...

It was, unfortunately the paint suffered when the roof on the garage it was being stored in was repaired and now it's covered in micro-blisters. Once I've got it running and MOT'd again I'll have a go at re-painting it. That's why I was asking about the "roller-your-car" paint. The process seems similar to the one we used to paint it in the first place, i.e. it took a lot of rubbing down and polishing to get it looking good! I used coach paint on the rally car and that always looked ok, even though we never put much effort into the painting ;-)

It's a shame that you missed the chance to buy your old car back. What spec are you looking for?

Ideally looking for a Triumph six based hybrid, just missed one a few months back which is why I sold my Vitesse, slightly annoying that I got the timing wrong. Otherwise if I managed to prise PKK 989M put of the current owners hands then I'd upgrade the 1.3 with a super charger and return it to the original dark blue and silver.

I had been trying to find my old Alfa Marlin for the last 18 months - without any luck - but have managed to find a similar car which will be rebuilt for Easter 2015 !!
