Decided to do a fairly comprehensive anti rust treatment before starting build. Used the polyurethane sealant on all joins inside the tunnel, underside of floor, area around rear suspension, and in the “V” section in front of the tunnel. Then applied a heavy coat of gloss black paint, not worrying t...

Thanks Bill, will bear your comments in mind although do not plan to use car for long trips or touring as, unfortunately, my wife’s general health means she is not able to get in such a vehicle. I will probably get more enjoyment building the car than driving it, but look forward to regular outings ...

Have got chassis set up on trestles in garage and started build. Had a few problems with the rear brake bracket but Alan is making a new one to suit. Couldn’t resist fitting front suspension, went together easily and looks great. Decided to fit a rear mudguard to keep that area cleaner, bought a pla...

The premium was £145 for fully comprehensive, £11000 value, 1000 miles per annum (least they wil...

Have now got type 3 kit in garage and about to start build. Are there any other members/owners who live in the Kent area? If so, would like to get together and swap ideas etc.

Have type 3 on order and in process of getting donor parts ready. To begin with I will use the standard 17” California rear wheel but need to replace the tyre. Any recommendations?
