I would use a 1mm cutting wheel to alter the radius on an angle grinder. It shouldn't get too hot. Use a sharpie to mark the area to be operated on and go easy. Make sure you are holding the bumper to the body in the same place as it may take a few goes. Go easy. Use masking tape on the body if it i...

This one is medium satin grey. OSG (light shade).

I need one!

You stepping in then Joey?

Congratulations, a very hard qualification in a very difficult subject.

My academic aspirations stopped at the Highway Code.

Well done.

Harvey, Test far air in the system by by doing the heater connection at the highest point and see is you can get more coolant in. They can be susceptible to air locks. Then, with the car running, check the circulation of hot coolant with your hand from cold. When the thermostat opens you should feel...

Looks like an excellent head. Bet it costs about as much as a wide angled C&G head though. If money were no object, I would have a go. Getting large power pout of an XK engine is expensive. My opinion on the diminishing returns of power vs money spent is 300 bhp on a fuel injected 4.2. That is aroun...

Danny, you are a sad man.

He says, whilst holding an almost identical bag of thumbscrews, purchased from Ebay at the weekend.

Great minds must think alike.

For all that, I would have bought it had it been offered to me and I would still be happy with it, even with a huge oil leak.

Good purchase Hoovie. Fantastic car.

I would definitely change those footwells. I bought a pair 2 weeks ago, they are less than £50 each.

Well BLN, you weren't totally wrong!

Well Hoovie makes quite a bit of dough from his channel and is very will known as a Youtuber. He is very talented. This film went live a day ago and has has a view rate almost 5 times as much as his other films and has had almost 3,000 comments already. Goes to show the enduring popularity of the E ...

Well done Hoovie.

I always knew he would come into the fold one day.

I definitely will do Carsten

You can get sponge strip in from Woolies, it is self adhesive and you buy it buy the meter. It sticks around curves beautifully. https://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/c-132-sa-sponge-strip The last pair of cant rails I did, I used thick square profile black strip. You stick it on, then you sand it with a b...

Yes Julian, that is what I meant. Shabby Chic, sorry. I love Citroen almost as much as Jaguar. However the SM is the only car I have given up on. I purchased an Orient Blue one from Italy 10 years ago. It had been parked for over 20 years and was seized. I stripped it to the bulkhead then gave up an...

Excellent film, well worth doing. Congratulations to the family. Just looking at my first SNG invoice for E type parts over 7 years ago for a brake pipe set and and some clutch bits for £143.84. I was ordered on a Wednesday and arrived the next day, no drama. I now have well over 300 transactions la...

Surely you need that gap to take account the width of the screen?

I would just fit the screen.

Good job Joey, you will have it installed in no time at all, you look very organised. I promise to get you an update on my power steering S1 FHC project soon. A couple of weeks and we should be on the road. The XK with the 2.88 is rippin it up I must say. https://i.postimg.cc/qRN2518m/20220813-20531...

My guess is that they have simply drilled injectors into the manifold from underneath. Its nice to use what you already own. The SU pistons/needles, float chambers etc have just been disabled so it still looks nice externally. A throttle position sensor has been attached to the end throttle spindle....
