Classic cars forum & vehicle restoration.

[michael1703]

Hi there, my names michael and my passion is ford thames 400e's.... get the username?

I have owned a 3 speed for 10+ years, but its currently mid restoration after a heavy front end crash last summer

A few years after i bought it i was offered a 4 speed maltin walter 'workobus' which is a 12 seater, this is in rough condition and in regular use but i will restore it when my 3 speed is done

My newest purchase is a 1968 420g, ive just spent 3 months recommisioning it after being laid up as an mot failure for 23 years, it looks brand new underneath now, but up top it looks a bit 'withnail and i'

When my van got written off last summer i bought a 58 rover p4 '60' which i am intending to sell should i ever finish smartening it up, it came with a few dents,drivers window drops,the silencer rattles and a few other things will need to be sorted before i sell it

In january i bought a 1970 nsu prinz 4l which has been stood since 1986, it had a very seized engine and i'm gradually getting work done on it

In march i bought a '72 mgb gt, it came with so many (un needed) spares that when they are sold off seperately, the car will owe me nothing

My partner has a 77 mgb which is her daily runner and clocks up about 250+ miles per week without much fuss

I've also got a morris minor which ive owned since 1994 which ive never driven one day....

Anyway... enough of me, i found this forum whilst googleing for Bedford CA spares, i'm a classic car restorer and a 68 ca just turned up fresh from the container as it has just been shipped from turkey

I'm in the process of writing up an estimate for parts

anyway.... err.... hello

Hi

Welcome from me in Cheshire, have you any pics of the cars? Pics speak a thousand words as they say!

Cheers
