A mostly dry day out in God's county - champion!

I didn't know about that. I'll get them all uploaded. Some are in two parts to fit a 256mmx256mm build plate.

I've recently did my V8 bonnet vents using some mesh and these 3D printed press templates. You can find the 3D model files in my post here, but I appreciate that not everyone has access to a printer or the skills to design something themselves. So I'd like to hereby offer these free of charge to members who can then use them to press bonnet vents in his/hers preferred mesh. All I'm asking is to cover the postage to your address and once you're finished with them, offer them up to the next person under the same terms. @HB46443 has first dibs 👍

Starter motor solenoid issues! New starter on order from the Bay of E...

Thank you! Quinten. I would love to press these. I will Email my details through the forum. P.s Does anyone now how to press? Crash course on the way. 🚜 Thanks again @Quinten @DarrenK your next!

My wife bought me a 3D printer for my big birthday, and my OCD put it straight to work getting my toolboxes more organised than they have ever been. I've even created extra space for more tools 😁

Gents, please standown. I've found a classic car specialist and arranged for him to visit on Wed at 8:30am- https://www.bcandsc.co.uk/contact-us Very helpful gent, knows Escorts and only lives mins from the docks.

Along with an eclectic mix of 80 other cars, participated in Minehead Motor Club’s Spring Tour today. As usual, a very enjoyable ~70 mile run around the country lanes of the Quantock and Brendon Hills on the Somerset/Devon border. As expected plenty of mud and standing water about, at least the ford was shallow! Guess this week I’ll be cleaning the car!

Do please post some pictures. I think the charm of these early cars now is in having them in close to original build spec, Ford Crossflow with twin sidedraft twin choke Webers (or a single twin choke downdraft Weber), live axle and 4 speed gearbox, rather than buying one now to extensively modify. I would get it up and running, replace the tyres, flexible fuel and brake hoses, brake pads and shoes, flexible coolant hoses, and give it a good service including replacing oil and antifreeze, new brake fluid, drain the fuel tank, flush out the radiator and heater, new filters - oil, air and fuel, new rotor arm, distributor cap, condenser, plugs and leads, check coil OK, check fuses, clean all earths and electrical connections. Then MoT and use and enjoy. I would not over restore it, just as built and back up to running condition. If you change your mind, such a project car is always of interest… If you simply restore it it will always be saleable plus you won’t have sunk too much into it.
