Perfect morning to stretch her legs - The barges at Maldon, Essex

Making the most of the nice weather. Not sure how many more opportunities we’ll get this year now…

Having sold my last Westfield to purchase a house, I am now in a position to buy another. I bought this one about two weeks ago and it’s great to be back in one. My wife and I traveled from Thurso in the far North of Scotland down to Lincoln to pick up this beauty.

I've subscribed to Wayne's (aka Bizzle) "Tea N' Bizzkits" fledgling YouTube channel for a while and finally got to meet him in person at Newark. He has a lovely Rotrex supercharged 4AGE Striker and his channel documents his journey with the car, from maintenance and repairs through to track days and car shows. Nice fella too 👍 The Club stand gets a very complimentary mention and quite a few clips of our cars are in there.

Good to see our illustriousChairman @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman caught at the end of the clip too-

The only time you need to know is 'Westfield O'clock' 😃

The Alfa clock should probably go backwards! I can't have a German clock as I've never had a German car, I could get a Honda CRX one though. I'll keep a check on how reliable they are when I learn to tell the time.

Got a new home for the car over the weekend, put it up yesterday. I'm looking forward to being able to more easily complete the engine swap and do other tinkering in less-than-ideal weather. Have to see whether any condensation results. Hopefully with the vents it won't, but I can always zip on some fans to the mesh to give airflow. Cleaning the drive where the tent was to go did highlight how badly the rest also needs jet washing 😁

Lovely car and ideally placed for trips over to Orkney. Been through Thurso many times when doing the full 500 and stayed at the new Premier Inn a few times now. Happy motoring and enjoy your car 👍

If you private message me you number I will ask them to add you

Great looking Toybox Westy, welcome to the club. I bought mine last year. I am located in Fife. There is a Scottish kit car WhatsApp group alot of the members are up north between Aberdeen and Inverness etc

I have watched all his videos so far since we got same style of car a Striker. I was gutted to of missed him at Newark. I am going to watch this tonight once the little one is a sleep.

Alfa clock stops when You need to know the time most, when You are in hurry Westfield clock slows down in winter (not for all, as I have learned there on Forum, but how brrr... .;)

I'll be interested to see which clock turns out to be more reliable 😉 Shouldn't the Alfa clock reflect the time in Italy? Surely you need a German or Japanese model 😎

Westfield clock from https://www.mancavepembs.co.uk/. Matches my Alfa clock.

Progressive rear springs from Spax courtesy of Damperman. Order at 12.09 yesterday and delivered at 2pm today. Wow what service, it will take me longer to install them!

East Anglia area meeting 5th October 10am for 2 hours at Arbuckles Downham Market pe38 0ad. We will be in either sevens cars or tin tops. Everyone welcome. We will be catching up and listening to ideas plus looking at maintenance and having a laugh. Please say if your planning to come so i can watch the numbers and possibly book tables. Cheers martin

Finally got round to giving her a vacuum, thorough wash & polish after driving back through monsoons & tsunami’s (I know I’ve been told 1,000,000 times not to exaggerate) from Newark a few weeks back - had that much debris across it, I though it had Toybox strips on it 🫣🙃😱 all ready for the Black Country meet on Sunday 👍

Just seen this video - it’s a good watch and great to see all the WSCC content

Weathers looking good and 14 have said yes. Could be an East Anglia record😀

Thanks Paul - it’s a lovely part of Essex and was a perfect day for a drive out. The car attracted plenty of attention making it quite difficult to get the photos 😊

Car looking great @MJS71 I’ve got relatives just round the corner from there so I’ve regularly walked along the front at Maldon, never seen a Westfield there before! Nice place on a sunny day

Thanks @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AOI found it this morning. Under the dash at the passenger side. Which is the opposite to everything on YouTube (and the advice from a local garage proprietor!) Changed now.

Well I was billy no mates until a second turned up 😂

Now renewed, thanks very much.

Nice little Setrab oil cooler knocked at my door today. Pretty pleased with it 🤩

Nice little Westfield sticker from Demon Graphics Here. Really pleased with the quality and how well it went on.

Cracking photos! Only so much I can play with as they're low resolution downloading from here (look grainy when I try and crop them etc) but here goes... Before: After:

A few pics from my run today, just a short one 200mls. Up and over The Rest and be Thankful to Colintraive then a ferry over to Isle of Bute and after lunch a ferry back to Wemyss Bay and home via Ayrshire. 😊 Could really do with Rob to make the pictures pop... Arran in the background Rothesay Bay and the hills on the mainland I'd driven through to get there

Been a little quite recently been busy with some other projects/businesses. I've been installing a new autoclave oven which has taken far far longer than it should have done and like all new equipment you have to learn the inns and out but I think I've turned the corner now. So as the cold winter weather is coming maybe time to spend abit more time in the garage keeping warming playing with abit of carbon so keep your eyes open for some new projects and products.

Yes it did. I’ll edit the post 👍

£650 SOLD Team Dynamics 1.2 light alloy wheels. 15” fitted with TOYO R1R tyres. Great road & track tyre. Tyres still have the markings on them. All tyres are 205/50/15 and went under the arches of my SEIW perfectly. Fresh powder coated in antique copper. They are perfect condition. Collection from CV13 6EU. I can put them on a pallet and wrap them in film but you would have to arrange this with your courier. I have a forklift for loading purposes. No PAYPAL. Cash on collection or cleared BT. £650. I will take £600 if collected with cash. Russell.

Being a Single Donor Vehicle, they cost less to build than the “modular” kit that the Zetec/Duratec cars will be based on. This then gets reflected in the resale cost, making them good value for money. Same goes for the Sierra SDV, although many of those will have used the very old Pinto engine and will thus perhaps be less desirable these days. The mazda SDV makes a great option if you want to have a turbo though due to the inherent strength of the base motor.
