Stoneleigh Restoration Show Today

[john 215]

Hi,

Took a drive along this morning in my FHC [8D], not as big as other years and nowhere as busy as i have seen it, i guess a sign of the time. Got a few bits and pieces, plus met a few old friends and had a good chat with the lads from Robsport. By the time i left the car park were emptying out but a couple of pictures from the day.


























































There was a Sprint there running solid carb blocks, so took a couple of shots, owner said no issue's with them.








Cheers John

Hi Phil,

Good to see you too, yeah saw the Marina.





I remember doing lower trunion's on those. They were basicaly a threaded jiont at the base of the front suspension upright, this upright turned in the trunion and seize up. The first one i done as a apprentice, heated it up to get it off, didnt remove the grease nipple at the base, the grease expaneded and the cap at the base shot out like a bullet [:0] To which all the other mechanics found very funny [:p]




Great news about Steve Rockingham's car being displayed, will have look at that one


Cheers John
