The glory days of home customisation are long gone as far as I'm concerned......nobody sells diffraction tape anymore.... Team that up with a 7ft whiplash clipped into the gutter and that's it, job done!

There's some panel diagrams here which might be of help..http://www.austina30a35parts.com/images ... ls1001.jpg

Talk about rose tinted specs!! :lol: let's go back in time to the sixties and seventies.....an average motor then was very lucky to see 100000 miles....most of them were gone, corroded to nothing, generally worn out, by the 10-15 year old age. All my cars back then were cheap time expired absolute h...

I bought a box of these a week or so ago, but haven't had the chance to use them until this evening. I changed the discs on the Metro, a right filthy faff as the drive flanges have to come off, hammers, pullers, stuck hubs, phenomenally torqued nuts, scaffold poles, etc.....these gloves are awesome!...

Fuel evaporation is not an issue where the Metro is concerned, it never has been. A 1988 car will be unleaded, and quite happy on modern fuel. I would be looking elsewhere.

The best thing you can do is also very cheap, hidden switch to your fuel pump supply, maybe another to ground your coil supply/starter solenoid circuit, that's all an immobiliser will do anyway....

It was OK, but Ron Howard is definitely no John Frankenheimer....there's no comparison between modern CGI and 60's car mounted film cameras, if you want to see how F1 should be done on screen, watch Grand Prix, split-screen 'n all.....a totally awesome piece of film-making.I leave Steve McQueens LeM...

Basics first, is it actually, really, overheating, grinding to a halt in a cloud of steam, or is the only evidence what the gauge says?.....I.e., if it didn't have a temp gauge, would you still think it was overheating?

Any decentish guitar will have a compensating bridge, set for standard tuning, so no need to mess about, just tune to a G if you're using standard tuning. If you're using an open tuning, there are about a zillion variations, probably a double zillion, just on G alone, which will all have their own s...
