Lotus engine nearly done. Maybe I'm sad but like Jaguar engines and most V8's they just look right to me !
Lovely Porsche 924S. Lower front arms looked good from underneath but not so good on the topsides when the wheels came off !!
The XJSC is looking a stunner. But look at the rust in the fuel rail and injectors we found when giving the fuel system a check over having not been used for a few years. These cars have to be used.
'Every picture tells a story' we removed the rear wheels on a Jaguar Xj40 and happened to notice what appeared to be a Heli Coil insert hanging out from the hub nut. Bearing in mind this keeps the hub attached to the driveshaft we removed it to check and discovered the insert was only three threads deep and the rest of the nut was doing nothing. Scary stuff on a 6 litre , 150 mph car !
How's this for a wonderful gesture from Tom. Sent him out to collect some refurbished wheels and he comes back with the diff he knows I need for the 2CV8 as well. Only when I finished thanking him for it does he say 'you got to pay me for it though' ! Doh lol.
