Guest CKEMPY Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Thanks Ian71 this is great to hear! And certainly will need help/advice. Thanks rsvanman doesn't look so great up close, lots of mould and rusty bits although did have a friend who knows more than me look over it and the shell is ok no big rust areas as such.

gingergman Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 a village in south Northamptonshire round the corner from towcester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CKEMPY Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Yes that is close, do you know of anywhere nearby for parts at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingergman Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I use to break them for parts myself so never really need anything, but if I did I just find eBay the best place, some bits can be pricey though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CKEMPY Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Update; had a local garage look round the car and the chap put it up on the ramp and was pleasantly surprised that the car is all good with no rusting underneath etc and could see nothing wrong with it. Chuffed. I now need to invest in a trolley jack and axle stands. Was looking at the 2 tonne packages. Would these be suitable and does anyone have any recommendations? Also had no paperwork with the car so where is best to place the stands? Thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CKEMPY Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Also one last question promise :-), just bought a car cover from Halfords for it and says for soft tops must use a protective cover underneath, any suggestions of what a suitable protective cover to put under the car cover is?
