Hi, I've been refitting my headlights - went on to Canleys website to find out what screws to use to refit the cowls  and  noticed in the parts list " rubber plugs "  listed.  There were none when I took the cowls off - does anybody know what they are for and where they go?

Hi, I'm in the process of of refitting the winder mechanism and window back into my doors. I noticed that there used to be a polythene sheet (weather curtain) attached to the window channel, has anyone still got these in their doors? do they work?

Started fitting the front valence this week, trying to get the gaps as close as I can , had trouble with the brackets being too flimsy so I reinforced them with a piece of steel bar - much stronger now. Also did  a test fit of the front grille resprayed it gun metal grey to see how it would look!

Hi Shepsy , I used a non isocyanate single stage 2k paint  from Jawel paints , its very easy to spray and come out super shiny . although it takes a long time to harden properly, its touch dry within a few hours but stays plastic for  about a month then hardens up over the next few months!

De rusted and sprayed up headlamp bowls and sidelights this week . Rust was pretty light - but I've got two different types of sidelight lenses !

Hi everyone , its been a while since I've posted  -  been busy  welding , cutting  and repainting.  Here's the story , I bought this red 1970 Herald 13/60 in 2005 because I needed a cheap second car, it had an MOT and the insurance was very cheap. I drove it around for 7 years then in 2012 decided to take it apart to do a full restoration - should take a year or two ( so I thought! ). Eleven years later after new outriggers all round , floorpans , spare wheel well , door skin , rear wheel arches  and nearly every panel repaired and much de rusting and welding    -  and fitting a 1500 Spitfire engine  , I have finally  given it a respray  , ready to be put back together. Hoping to have it on the road by next summer.

Hi Everybody, I'm replacing my door seals (13/60 Convertible) the ones I have are too thick and make it difficult to shut (slam!) the doors. I seem to remember someone selling the correct type on these forums  -  can anyone point me in the right direction  -  Many thanks .

Hi Adrian , The body should come off easily ,with just kick or two  - then start by replacing whats left of the chassis with a newly restored one , then replace the body tub , the bulkhead and the bonnet and replace the engine.I would also suggest new valances and a new soft top , you could have it done in a month !

Hi, I had a similar problem and it turned out that the door seals were too thick, the wrong type had been fitted. The proper ones were much thinner.
