Looks great Danny!!

Are you going to put the Hazard County Decals on the car or will you just leave it as is now (fresh paint etc)?

Many people would have quit and bailed on the project, but you stuck it out - top man!

Decals were applied to the car with the help of my mate Paul... (25/05/2018)

So finally my first show after a 5 year restoration...

Debut was at the Enfield Pageant of Motoring... (26/05/2018)

Putting 2 and 2 together, was that your axle I saw up at southern axles?

Yes mate that was my axle there

Basically later that afternoon as i went to leave the Pageant, the car would'nt move...first thought the rear brakes were binding on but no! Anyway called the AA out...




Ended up being not a drip of oil in the diff so the crown wheel pinion had fused together from getting so hot on the drive to the Pageant then where it had sat all day had melted/fused. My own fault i guess as it was something i never checked in 5 years of owning the car yet there was no signs of leaks that i could find so i guess it was empty since owning it! After many hours later the recovery truck finally showed up to take me home so my first ever show was quite an adventure!




So yes dropped the axle to Southern Axle (Watford) where they supplied and fitted a new crown wheel pinion, bearing kit & oil!

All back together now and ready for my second show!

As you can see the diff wasn't showing massive signs of leaking...and I cleaned up the area around the plug and it looks to be pretty sealed... (29/05/2018)


Removed the plate and no visible damage, was just seized solid... (31/05/2018)

Axle removed and ready to drop off at Southern Axle (Watford)… (03/06/2018)

A lick of Hammerite paint... (11/06/2018)

Rear axle back and also bought a new set of rear shocks... (18/07/2018)
