The other one with the Anglebox was when when you hit a a bump in the road & the struts parted company with the inner wings & tried to come up through the bonnet!

Been there with a Leyland van, when opening the rear doors to find the rear leaf springs are obstructing the floor space.

Well.
I fell to two bits of pressure from my friend. @Chillitt and @Barking Mat Do not even ask to see them.
This modern tin plate item was sacrificed for the greater good.
Beer Tokens.
Fitted a lamp holder.
The glass was also replaced with better glass, tempered stuff.
Job done.

I owned 2 but never drove them as I hadn't passed my car test!
Both rotten as a pear 30 years ago....
A friend had a 1.8 Coupe that somehow gathered up enough speed to roll itself into somebody's front garden landing on its roof, a quick sledgehammer session and some red Dulux had it drivable for another few months
I've helped do a couple of MG / Rover 200 heads, get the right gasket and metal locating dowels for the head to replace the poxy plastic ones and it should be ok. Make sure the cooling system is spot on first.
I had 7 of them! They were the staple of my dad’s company fleet, I used to buy them, run them for a month or two and move them on for a modest profit, I don’t think they deserved all of the bad press they got

Afternoon using grinder. Chopped a few mm off the parting holder for less over hang. Enlarged the holder its in from 14 to 16mm. Couple mm from the vcmt holder so I can use it in any of tbe standard 14mm holders. Last I removed a bit off the larger boring bar and squared the radius so it sits better under the screws, had it a year and not used it yet.
Need to get some more holders ordered I will never get round to making them, if I do then I will still need more.

Tell me about it, I had five new holders for my little Dixon tool post delivered on Tuesday, spent a while populating them and setting aproximate tool heights and by Thursday I was back to changing tooling around and thinking 'I need to order more tool holders'

One of the best handling small cars I ever wellied around the single-tracks in the lower Highlands.

Favourite trick of the Mk1 Cortina, was that, too.
Did you turn them to weld, or move around? Nice!

Not only fords can do that - in this case on the e39 it was the rubber bush which perished and only dropped like this when hoisted on a lift to investigate a knocking from the front.....
Excellent!! You've 'upcycled' a lamp into......a lamp
You would have thought Fords would have made a stiffer bonnet.
crates yes, bottles and contents no

That looks pretty thick material [well, to me], what's the cutting capacity of these waterjet machines?
O yes they did (pantomime) believed they used their door parts on range rovers etc.I had 7 of them! They were the staple of my dad’s company fleet, I used to buy them, run them for a month or two and move them on for a modest profit, I don’t think they deserved all of the bad press they got
