Now I'm looking forward to episode 12!

I was thinking those screen surround dies would be very useful in general especially for the front screen lower corners.

Found your car from a Facebook post, it matches the one on your YT profile

Hi Mark

This is not the car Carl is restoring or is that not what you mean?

Comparing with this

I do like the look of them with a bigger arch on them

Flared arches...I am sure a man of your considerable talent could knock up the dies to fabricate these...before breakfast !!

Put me down for a set

Love your work Carl.

Cheers

Steve

Yesterday was spent re pinning locks, so now I have all locks working off 1 key .

Great - it's a fiddly job but worth doing!

So I took the engine out today and found out something new that it came with self levelling head lights.

rossocorsa · « **Reply #35 on:** August 15, 2026, 09:39:35 PM »

Are you sure? that's very odd if correct or perhaps you mean that it has had later HPE light units retro fitted? They were normally ony fitted on HPE and Berlina due to the greater payload. Watching your excellent videos I keep noticing that the roof looks like the style fitted to later coupes with the black dashboard? I could be going crazy or need a trip to specsavers but it does seem to have the flat edges of later cars?

Carlwil10 · « **Reply #36 on:** August 16, 2026, 12:47:56 AM »

Well im not 100% but I have a link arm that when I looked in the book it said it was for leveling headlights.

Hi Carl

Yes that front wishbone is off a self levelling car, just not yours..... it does not appear to be attached to anything?

Also your lights are the Carello ones, I think you would need Siem ones to get the levelling.

Beware that open topped carb. It is just waiting for something to fall in and ruin your day later. Time for the old sock of doom in there.

Hi Eric

I think that is the least of Carl's problems, he said the engine is seized......
