hi, as title suggests i need a tailgate in any condition for a hatch or just the glass even, seeing as it got smashed today . the nearer to harrogate n.yorks the better, as this is for my daily driver and im a bit stuck without it. cheers sean

well i didnt expected that, yes it was steves car, yea probly me no doubt! pm sent , i really should get cracked on with this car............

Well i have a pretty good pass rate at my local MOT station, even got your hatch through

Good luck with the MOT..... im sure it will pass

[qoute] Yeah mate i think your A will require many many pictures to show all the welding its going to get Shouldn't be long till i have some space and we can get cracking on it [qoute] hope you've good a big enough memory card in that camera of yours then dave, good, thats music to my ears, sean

definatley argree with the above comments, you will have to do my a series soon then dave! didnt think it was that bad when you where telling ne the tale about it! sean

unlucky for mick he cant just cut a hole,as i remeber the bits in yellow have been cut out aswell leaving him with a rather large gap! if i remember rightly? cheers

hi mick, yes you are right the carb is a webber twin choke, hope that helps cheers sean

good look on mot , your list shouldn't be as bad as mine,as yours is quite solid from what i remember sean

ho problem, yeah let us know how mot goes when you get there. heres a pic of how it should be. cheers sean

hi mick, on the yellow A the previous owner had cut out were the stereo sat in,leaving that missing bit,you will need a new dash board, me and steve were after one but were unable to obtain one.i will try and get a pic up of mine so you can see what i mean.

hi mick, yeah that was definatly my old man he is very clued up about the A series, anyway ive been looking through my old emails from mark kinnon and according to him the chassis number of the car corresponds to March/April 1973,origanaly from info i got from the previous owner before me and steve the car was origanaly a 1.6 in bronze/brown colour cheers sean

hi, i have a bit of history of this car as me and my old man steve who i persume you bought it of, we rescued this from the oxford area as it was going to the scrappers,i can tell you tho as it is definatly not taxed exempt as i got the club to check it out for me a few years back, hope you have fun bringing her back up to scratch cheers sean

yes shed loads of welding theres tons underneath aswell! just aswell mantasrme is local, and is a really good a welding up rotten old mantas cause hes got his work cut out whith this one im goimg to need a the luck i can get cheers

right then pulled the back seat out and found these, picture of crusty rear floor pan, and gte rear seat which i quite like in the A seat removed after a bit of poking around anways thats it for today, may be another update or so in a few weeks when i get back from sunny spain cheers sean

yeah lol might be A update and piccies if i get round to pulling the back seat out to see if theres any more horrors lurking

yes robbie, definately worth it , hopefully it wont give me as much greif as my hatch did

yeah thats probly the only thing solid well maybe i didnt say that but thats kinda what i meant,seeing as i had my if its going to get done it may aswell be done proply head on that day! hatch quick! that had half the work this needs doing and its still not finished properly and thats taken a few yaers at my speed!!

hi ive just wire brushed the area i wanted to treat,and given it a good coating of hammerite kurust,ive heard good feedback from this stuff,and to be honest its the first time ive used it aswell

right just a little up date, today i have just removed the sound deadening from the boot,and treated the cursty but solid metal in there to stop it getting any worse while its laid up, Right heres the dreaded floor pans to be honest this car isnt very solid at all but its saving grace is its tweeked 2.4 i dont realy no whats been done or what its got,but from what i remeber from years back its bloody quick,that may also get a rebuild aswell if i can twist daves arm into doing it again very crusty under here aswell again just treated the batery tray aswell. cheers

hi, just thought i would post a few pictures of my new A series project,basically this car used to belong to my old man and it came up for sale on here a month ago and i decided to get my grubby hands on it, so i asked if dave (mantasrme on here) as he was local if he would pick it up for me and he said he would so we arranged a date and went to pick it up. wen we got back from essex we decided to get it running as it is a pain in the neck to push about,a few new rubber fuel pipes and some fresh juice it burst into life, with a rather noisy top end, so we shot some fresh oil and filter on and it now runs spot on,better than my gte hatch infact! after a good t cutting and wash more piccies ect as work progresses

cheers dave for popping that pic up looks like i will be joining the club then!! mantadoc that will be much aprecited if you will look prices up ect for me can wee still join via paypal then? i did spot that boot lid but me and dave havent decided wich way to go with that yet cheers sean
