Stuarts

So, after the sale of my car, I have all this lot left in my garage. I've just started a new job and haven't the time to sell off individually, this is a job lot, I will NOT be selling off parts individually, I just don't have the time. What you see is what you get (and some other small boxes of misc parts that I'm to dig out). Wings - steel, the NS was new with my rebuild, the OS is the cars original and had a small repair under the headlight nine years ago (fully cut-out and replaced with fresh metal). There are a pair of lightweight bumper blades - and originals, with all the front & rear bumper fittings including rear reflector. Original SC heating unit (was fully working), door trims, rear seats, mint glovebox lid, pair of 7x15 Cookies, flag mirrors (I think I have another pair too), new brake hoses, CV joints, braided HT leads, F&R roll bars (with new drop links) & misc trim bits, along with many other useful bits & pieces - oh, and a SC steering wheel in great condition (not shown). The only parts not included in the sale are the original Marchal bonnet lights. £1500 for the lot - £1700 with Marchal lights. Ideal for someone starting out on a restoration project. I have only advertised on here at present, and will put on DDK in a few days, then the dreaded fleabay

Manual - nice light clutch and very slick box

Big reduction, as I've now got a new estate - £500. Only issues since original posting, is drivers side central locking works 50% of the time - and front drop-links are creaking again! (common on these but a very easy fix). A great cheap runner!

Ah yes, very poor of me, the cold air ventilation blower - slider switches

Hmmm, Just about to hand my car over to the new owner and on a final check through at my garage, the heater controls have no power - screen blower not working! Any suggestions as to what it could be? Cabling all seems ok. Cheers

A pair of Marshall bonnet/hood lights, excellent condition. Unfortunately, no covers. £200 inc. mainland postage

A pair of pretty rare Marshall spot lights, complete with original covers. £150 inc. mainland postage.

Great choice. Best thing to do is pick some good roads, fill it up, jump in and drive til you've emptied the tank. The more you drive them (like air cooled's) the better your feel for the car. Don't forget to put your car details on your profile on the club website - then I can keep you up to date on whats on. Enjoy!

Cheers guys, It's only a weep. maybe a few drops after being parked up after a run - when thoroughly warmed, and, from memory, it's been like it for a while. The motor now has 147K on it, and from what I can deduce from the little history, it's never had a full rebuilt (suspect it's had a top end 'refresh' at some point). Think I'll just carry on driving and monitoring it - and will try and see if it is coming from somewhere above. Watch this space...........

Gents (and Ladies), I've got a serious weep from the bottom of the clutch release fork lever. Can this been sorted in-situ easily enough at home? or is it a PITA job lying underneath a car, better being done by a suitable garage?

Thanks Chris, Great photos.

I thought it was a good attempt for a first meet. There were some really nice cars - as usual. Had a great chat with Josh Sadler (Autofarm founder), he really liked my car, which was a great compliment. Chris, great pics, did you get anymore pics of RUF 430?

I've had my 997.1 C2S for 18 months now, I specifically looked for a gen 1 with a reputable engine rebuild (mine was done by Autofarm - and hotted up at the time, but that's a different story). I must say that it's the best car I've ever owned (closely followed by an E30 M3). They do still feel like a 911 - but more refined and can be properly hustled through the lanes. I use mine (nearly) daily and it never misses a beat. Just keep the revs down when cold and up when warm. You're more than welcome to come and have a chat & drive in mine - oh, by the way, I'm now the 997 Register Secretary for PCGB

I'm going up tomorrow - in the 997 though. I'm going to VW Stanford Hall on Sunday in the 911 if anybody else is going to that?

I'm booked in. Will be going in the Red Shed now it's on the road!
