What have I been up to lately? Nothing! Tried working full time in a garage but crippled myself, so much pain you wouldn't believe it, only changed the clutch and a couple of cylinder heads in classic mini's and a steering rack and column but I can hardly move. I think at 72 I should give up the idea of trying to be a garage mechanic. it's a younger mans game, anyway I am too big, even after loosing 40Lbs, to get under the dash of most modern cars, let alone a mini. So lots of Eagle time one would think but no, I still have to earn something, somehow, as the UK pension is pathetic and at under 700 a month just pays the rent. When I have the time, no money. When I have the money, no time.

Hope to be along one day with the RV. Ill have to pick a dry day as no roof... See my post re getting a new roof in the RV section. Don't think my car is on your database so it will be interesting to see where it fits in or if anyone knows of it. Better let me have the details then and I'll pop it on. Peter

Sounds like a really nice kit. Thenks for the work and time that has obviously gone into it.
I hope there will be plenty of interest and some orders.
So often this things are asked for, like screens, seats, seals, pentagrams, etc but after a lot of work by individual members, when push comes to shove, no take up.
So come on RV owners, dig deep and get a great top for your RV before the winter sets in..

Nice one and thanks for posting but it is a NOVA. needs a lot of work, definitely a total strip and rebuild job and that engine is guaranteed to be solid by now. I see you also posted it on the euro-nova forum.

Hi Aaron,
Welcome to the Eagle forum.
Pleased to hear your RV is more or less ready to rumble.
Hard tops and doors are hard to find and on here is the best place.
Maybe you can get to Stoneliegh this year, we are rapidly running out of kit car shows to attend.
Peter

Just found a thread on another forum that says the Astra speedo has 12,000 pulses per mile. so now all I have to do is figure out how many teeth I need. So 12,000 PPM on on 225/60R15 = 787 revs per mile, is 15.25 On 15.5 on 235-60R15 at 773RPM. Either way 15 teeth and a pulse compensateor for 25 quid. The Astra AH transponder is 16 pulses per wheel rev, 8 magnets x 2 per wheel rev. so near enough.

Just to resurrect this thread as it contains a load of information relative to the SS windscreen.
How many people actually bought a new windscreen? What did it cost? Did it fit well? Did you have it professionally installed? Anyone still have the latest info, numbers etc?

WARNING! Anyone with polyurethane gearbox mounts that are a few years old. I was under the car the other day checking the starter relays and noticed some red plastic crumbs, on closer inspection I found all three of the red polyurethane gearbox mounts had crumbled away with very little holding the engine/gearbox in the chassis. I will have a look at the front tubes bushes and anti-roll bar next. A new set of OEM mounts called for.

All true. , I forgot I am in Spain, we don't do rust down this end, none of my old cars has a drop of rust apart from the Corsa under the rear window.
