Well done you.
I would get an agreed value insurance policy for at least 5k before you start using her again just to protect all that hard effort

Thanks mate. I couldn't do this without people like you supplying parts and having such a good service.

You really think £5K

Thanks mate.

Your collection is look good buddy. I am hoping to get this one on the road for the spring. Probably nit fully finished but looking good at least. I think the underside rebuild will probably be in the summer

Well Jon
You really need to tot up the hours spent on it at say £20 per hour for insurance purposes.
Add the initial purchase price and parts spent.
It won't be far off.

An agreed value is simply that but obviously the more you want it covered for the higher the premium.

I have one insured for 10k for £160 per year.
Maximum mileage I chose was a mere 1,500 per annum.

Agreed value cars are not considered daily use vehicles due to the limited mileage brackets offered.

Good luck

Just a quick update.

Last area to clean around the engine bay was around and under the hydramount.

With the engine supported from underneath on wooden blocks I undid all brackets etc and removed all the supporting aluminium.

Once I was down to the mount I found it was knackered

I removed the mount with a strap, all the wiring and you can see the years of crud

So degreased and cleaned

Next up was to clean back all the aluminium for this part of the engine mount.
The replacement bottom mount had arrived by the time I took this photo but I was waiting on the hydramount.

Only a small update as I am now onto the engine

Dont forget the bonnet pull mod!

Looking great as ever!

Hope to see your car in the 'flesh,' watched it's progress with great admiration for your attention to detail.
My ZTT that now has your carpet installed is coming along, having bit of an issue with corroded brake pipes for the MOT! Look like it's going to be a little costly :-(

Cheers John

Are you not going to do the pipes yourself? I think the only difficult bit is up over the fuel tank.

I will definitely drive up and see you when its done. I am hoping to get her looking good on top in time for the spring then work on the suspension running gear and brakes to the same standard whilst enjoying the car using all my spares over the summer

I have already started buying the bits I need for the suspension but the rear shocks are worrying me a little

Windslore · 7th March 2016, 20:52

Look forward to seeing you, perhaps a spot of lunch when you come up or meet in Exeter what ever suits.

I would have a go a the brake pipes but my work load at the moment just about gives me time to put fuel in it! In all honesty doing the brake pipes might be a tall order for me. I had a quote from one garage and they were talking about £600! I gave them a wide birth!The phrase ' You cannot be serious ! ' springs to mind!
