mikeyb Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 It wasn't as readily available as I'd hoped! That's why I ended up with a 25L drum to special order! Good luck anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 they got the 25l drums on special at my local.......my 2 locals have plenty of it....never realised it was sometimes hard to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 Thanks for the advice guys.I managed to get some in the trade outlet i use www.maccess.co.uk. They came in 1ltr bottles with the flexi tube so nice and easy to get oil into the box, trade price was 2 pounds per bottle.Gearbox oil now changed :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 Cheers Ste, long last i managed to find a free afternoon!MOT not far away hopefully.Ive also repaired the windscreen pillar, was quite bad, cut the rot out, fabricated a bracket and mig welded it in place. Also today i managed to get the repair prepped and painted. Its not concours but will do a couple of years until i decide to get rid or do a full resto!Im going to build the interior back in tnt.Passenger side iffy, but should be able to get another 12 months test, going to need some serious surgery soon though....im looking at GT6 convertibles on ebay, dangerous!!Ash.

spitty71 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Passenger side will be fine for a year at the very least, I've seen much worse pass an MOT! Cost of what 40 quid get it on the road for those dry autumn days :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
