Hi all Reluctantly looking for a new home for my 3500s due to never having any time to do anything to it. Don't want to put it on ebay yet. It is lunar grey in colour. Going to be totally honest and say that the sills require a bit of welding. It has no mot or tax and has been stood for a...

That would be great to see. I will hopefully get round to doing something in the next few weeks as well

Thanks very much for those great pics....they clearly show the areas that I need to work on as well. I have been over the whole underside of the car i have given it a good tap with the old toffee hammer and the only sections of sill that are horrendous are the one photographed. the rest of it is...

Its a nightmare...didn't looks too bad at first but as you say the prodding and attacking laid bare the true extent of it...Im lucky the rest doesnt apppear too bad, as another chap pointed out, it has been repaired before. It was sat for 8 years on a damp bit of ground which couldn't have...

The ends I should be able to patch...Its the big massive rotten section behind the near side rear jacking tube that is giving me concern..the rest is pretty solid and able to take smaller repairs. You are right it has had some welding before, looks to quite a good standard. the middle sections...

cheers for that.. Everything under the rear door looks alright, no holes on the D posts its where the arch meets the sill its rotted through and the floor area at the sill as can be seen in the photo. In board of the sill is ok as well. I have had a look at JRW's exploded diagram..I presume...

That is seriously impressive! I wish I had seen this before I asked the question about mine just now. the areas repaired look alost identical to the tin worm on mine. You think it would be ok for this? :shock:

Hi everyone, could anyone advise me what sill repair panels I will need to fix the following rotten sections of sill. (behind the covers) It initially didnt look too bad but when I started prodding and pulling at it, bits turned to dust. Cheers Graham Rear nearside Rear nearside 2 Front...

mine is the exact same...hopefully just needs bled, It has been sat for a few years,, no sign of life from it.

Re: The optimist I concur, It looks fantastic!! Love the NADA bonnet on it

Absolute rover heaven :) amazing pics, cheers frazzle. Wish I wasn't stuck offshore would defo have gone along. The slightly rusty p5 coupe has serious potential!

Just an update, bought a couple of Recon front calipers and pads from Winns today, hope to have them fitted and get some welding done within the next couple of weeks, also looking at a full respray just now.

Hi, after some recon or front calipers that are in good working order for 73 3500s Cheers Graham

certainly different..I am a mustang fan though!

Nice pics frazzle. That is a serious bit of bad luck on the insurance front. How muc hwere they after if you don't mind me asking? It sounds like a wacky plan I don't know if you have tried it. I started off with one car and had a few years NCB for this. I then got another car which I had no NCB...

Re: P6 V8 project: Alloy wheels fitted, bodywork finished!! That looks just amazing! love it

Thanks for allt he amazing tips on this page! some seriously usefull info

"TBM" = Total Bull .... Mob? :lol: have picked up some great tips there and there are some great people but some of the politics there and arguments about little things are quite unbelievable. Thanks very much! I see you are not too far away from me, seems to be a good few of us around the...

Thanks for the comments! that was just a very quick going over on the bonnet, I could spend all day on one panel. It has had a dodgy spray at some point, so panels are not particularly well matched. I just intend to get it as a good honest useable classic, don't think it will ever be concours...

:lol: I am sure it is compainig about the door mirror! it looks awfull. luckily I found the original in the boot. There was a boot load full of spares, everything excpet a new bumper with overriders that I am looking for. Hint hint..... Only mods I am thinking of are a custom exhaust to get...

I thought it was the lifters too, but it was more from the front of the engine, it sounded like the timing chain. will remove the rocker covers too for a general inspection It will deffo be getting a full oil change as a matter of course, thanks for the tip on the oil to use.

Thanks for the comments! The external sill covers have been completley removed, the only corrosion is at the ends, not too bad up front, the back is worst, also removed the seats in the back and there is zero corrosion undernearh there. very pleased. I do love the luanr grey (or should it be...

Hi everyone, just a quick update on the P6, finally managed to get the time to drag it out of its resting place and get it taken to my mates workshop where it will undergo some TLC.. I was too excited to see how it would look given a bit of attention with a rotary polisher so I removed the...

thanks kiwi Great info. The belt is nice and tight and everything looks as it should, I will try and give it a bleed and check the filter to see if that sorts it out. hopefully it will! Don't think it has been swapped out, looks fairly original to me
