Hello Steve and Stemo,
You and me are on the same page Steve,  I just can't leave it, I'm genetically attached to it!  The gap is a bit obvious and otherwise everything's mint!
From your earlier post Steve, the gap is to one side of the bonnet.  Everthing else is spot on...
Stemo, I'm afraid I'v had the Mig for about 13 years now and always been of the opinion that accepting anything less than perfection is a bit of a slippery slope with an eventual end (As I proved with a Merc CLK that I had in the meantime; drove it simply as a tool, then parked it up to use the Mig more, then gave it to some kid for £100!) :)

Don't worry about STE-HOMO... he wouldn't understand caring for a motor. Where he comes from they're only there to steal the wheels from  ;D

Don't keep them long enough to worry.
I mean, there's nothing I like better than crawling under old buses in the cold and rain, honest...... ;D

Just think, Webby, if you get it into tip-top condition, it could be worth as much as £500. :o

I'd venture; there's a difference between price and value myself... (sort of like the analysis of power to weight only quality/quid  ;D

Haha! Again, good point STE-HOMO.

Thing is though it's not about money at all. I like to have a tip-top car and in the future (assuming I can tame the rust) I'm hoping it'll be a car that people take interest in.

Like the Senator in the Straight 6 magazine. That was an 'L' reg and it looked like new. Gorgeous.

One day you'll think of one yourself. I won't hold my breath though  ;D

Guys, not bumping but I have a question I think I forgot to ask last time  ::)

IF my crash bar is bent and I go to remove it so I can replace it with new brackets... is it possible that the bolt holes or fitting where the brackets attach to will no longer line up (due to the bump that initially caused the bent crash bar)?

Due to the cold and having a cold and being fat and lazy I still haven't got round to getting the bumper off so just thought I'd ask this first  :y

Not an issue, probably, but be a patient Bear, and wait until the New Year... ::)

Say the next Wycombe meet... that should give you time to aquire a new crash bar, brakets and fittings :y

Fittings are just in case as I have had a couple of reused bolts shear... will be four nuts and four bolts.

Take about an hour to strip, reallign what needs it and refit all ship shape and Bristol fashioned :y
