Hi All,
After a long time stood at my in-laws farm and a couple of years stood in a garage, the time has come to get this little car back up and running! Over the last few months a lot of new parts have been ordered, and modifications lined up to change a few things. A new spray job has been booked to coincide with the jobs to be done. Well yesterday it managed to fire up after changing the plugs, points, leads and a new coil and how I have missed that sound over the years
Got it jacked up to have a look at bits that need welding and surprisingly there wasn't that much that needs addressing. A couple of sills, a bit of the floor pan, the front where the spare wheel sits. While up on the ramp I noticed that the round gearbox mounts could do with replacing as the rubber has perished, not a shock as it has sat for over 8 years gathering dust while a new family has been taking up all of my time and work commitments have been a minor inconvenience. The thing I'm struggling with is trying to find a stockist where I can obtain two new mounts. I've had emails back today from Ricambio and Axel Gerstl stating they haven't got any in stock and they don't get produced anymore?? Does anyone know of a solution to this problem and where I can get them from? I have become a bit disillusioned and questioning whether I should continue with my restoration as if these parts are no longer produced and I can't get them I'm snookered
Hopefully someone somewhere can come to my rescue...Pete126 it's normally you that solves my problems
I'll keep posting as I go along with updates and hopefully it happens!!
Cheers Scouse
