IF these chaps were around now and had access to the Forum would they have written the following:

Richard 3rd “ A Herald, A Herald! My Kingdom for a Herald!

Churchill. Rust! We will beat it on the Wings! We will Beat it on the Front! We will never surrender to Rust!

Harold Macmillon on completing his restoration! “We’ve Never had it so good”!

Neil Armstrong in his GT 6 “ “That was one small step for me! One Giant leap for Mankind “!

He hasn’t said this but he might have.. King Charles 3rd “Rishi are you and me the only two able to afford to complete a renovation on a Triumph?”

Looks Great loads of space and dry and warm and the car look good!But I’m am registered Blind so good luck.

Surely by now now you guys have learnt that when someone is in this predicament that you rush round and film the whole episode! It’s worth a few bob on you been framed ! Or Tic Toc! 

I was so proud of my wife and daughter, joining in with my Resto Polishing the Hubcaps , look brilliant after thirty years in a field! Took this photo but should have looked in the background before posting on forum,Mmm Looks like another distraction from my project or anther excuse to get out there!

I think that the Club should bring in a new Rule that when Posting The Poster ensures they are not being Pestered by Grand Children or had 1 too many Metaxa! On New Year’s Eve!..My Family said it was a mistake giving me a Clever Phonographic Device! At my age!

Typo!

Happy 2024 and may every Nut and Bolt be easy to undo and every weld successfully made first time Enjoy your Triumphs.

More likely the Germans would mess around with the Spitfires DNA and rename it a Messerschmitt and give it 3 wheels!

All items now have new homes at long last. Would be good to see some Photos of Phil’s Vitesse resto

Cash your tickets in and use the funds to buy all the East Sussex Members a few Pints of Harvey’s Best. Happy Christmas!

They are Phil

Thankyou for your input,it would appear that sticking true and standard is the route and from research financially the prudent option.I won’t have to hide in the shed when I leave the list for the Wife!😕

Hi all . I’m at that point where I have to advise Santa which Brake options I have. Currently I’m going to replace the master Cylinder Calipers as they are beyond hope! I have already put new disks on front and new pads on rear . New pipes in between! So my question is type14 or 16! I’ve seen and it has an impact on the type of Master cylinder I notice Your Guidance much appreciated. So I can I advise the Bank of Wife! Thankyou

I’m sharing this with you, it’s true and if any of my family or persons feel upset then I apologise but sometimes a story needs to be shared so it’s not lost and you to can go OMG!….

A couple of years ago I went to my Aunts Funeral with my wife.We only have a small family left on that side so basically me the wife and my uncle. Plus a lot of friends of my Aunt and Uncle.

The Vicar started proceedings by thanking us all for coming plus my Aunts Children! Gasps! What! A! Children! ….. in the 55 years I’d known my aunt I never knew about any children! Nor did the rest of their friends. 
Yes says the vicar, the Aunt had ran off to a Large Circus and dated the Elephant trainer while she was one off the girls riding bareback on the horses! During this time my Auntie had 3 children 1 and then twins. All were adopted. To say we were gobsmacked would be an understatement but yes.For a moment I thought we were at the wrong Funeral!

I can see a Netflix series being made!

It’s because the French Apreciate the finer things in life ! Like Fine Wines, Fine Cheeses, and Fine Classic Cars with that important name “Triumph” hence they are willing to pay a premium for a Beautiful Triumph… Fiat 126 doesn’t have the same ring!

Thanks Wendy that could be a possibility as yes the stick has been removed over the period and with my eyesight I may have relocated a bit wonky!

Update 840 days now !! It’s not finished.I spent most of the time unwrapping the car then it would start to rain so covers back on. Bit like an English Test Match! So moneys saved up and a large canopy constructed over rear driveway and Herald,jobs a goodn.

Aquired Doors Bonnet Bulkhead and rear tub, some alloy wheels! The JC Midge that has a 1200 herald engine.

This first week of September I used the wiring loom all beit about 6 wires from the Midge to use on the 13/60 and almost got her to turn over! First time in 25 years, well the Starter turned, had to use the graphite dust on the bendix problem now is I need to rethink what I forgot to do with the the clutch as I cannot get her to go into neutral it will be something simple like I should have read the manual! Instead of trying to remember stuff from the 1980s when I last done them! At leat the wheels weren’t on so it wouldn’t have shot off down the drive!

No ! You have used your tank as a SAFE PLACE! To store these pellets but have forgotten why!

Many thanks Wendy.👍

Please can someone give me the correct name for the items pictured,I’m struggling with the diagram that has been put up for Alan Re Bolt positions on his 13/60 as I’m in a similar place. I would like to know the correct name of these items and if possible the best place to obtain some replacements as looking at the diagram I think I need 8 yet only 2 fell off the car when dismantling! Many thanks Adrian.

The Bulkheads and A panels have moved on to other restorations.

so as at 22:07:2023 I have available Front left and right deep pressed floor pans in need of new homes.

I’ve messaged you Phil so maybe technology will work for us Adian

I have the 2 panels no longer have the bulk heads Please Pm if these are what your after

So I have spent the weekend clearing my workshop and putting it all back, then my Son in law came round who wanted to borrow the welder compressor and my angle grinder which was on my workbench, I picked it up and underneath the grinder was the pack of bolts I’d been looking for. It seems like a Week for Expletives! Now I have a cunning Plan! I have set up a what’s app group with my wife and named it SAFE PLACE then when I have an item that needs storing, I photo it in it’s stored location and put that photo and description in the what’s app group! Job Done!  Now where’s my phone!

Does anyone else suffer from SPS I’ve bought some fittings boxed them up and put them in a Safe Place now I can’t find them! I know they will turn up when I’m looking for something else! But it’s ruddy annoying when the workshop is abit OCD every thing in its right place! Except I didn’t label up Safe place! Prehaps I’m just LMM!  Loosing my Marbles!
