Hi Mark, good to see your car at Steve Gray's place...he cut the rear end off my Kirkham following a shunt last year and replaced the bodywork aft of the doors. Gave me Sebring arches to boot!

I like Steve, I like his work ethic and his high attention to detail. Please wish him well from me (Colin Newbold) when you see him next :D

Cheers,
Colin

P.S. What will you do with your alloy wheels and tyres if you get wires?

Everything that is not correct will be sold on to fund the restoration in a year or two..

I am having new spinners and pin drive hubs fitted to all corners at the moment due to threads being stretched and a little past there best to say the least. Safety first!!

The list of 427 parts I will be selling are...
427 engine.
4 Italian Weber 48 IDA's
427 long range tank, filler neck and cap
427 hub carriers plus pin drive hubs and Halibrands (alloy) set of 4 plus one slightly different
427 Rad
427 dash panel (no instruments)


Possibly the Harrison expansion tank.
possibly the adjustable modern shocks
If i can source the correct 289 HiPo cast heads, inlet Manifold, Cast Exhaust manifolds then the Alloy stuff will be sold on inc tubular headers.

Plus anything else we find to be incorrect.
