#1 Re-commissioning Project

Post by DevonS1 » Sun Jan 12, 2020 3:57 pm

Embarking on the re-commissioning of a 1963 3.8 FHC after a number of years laid up in a less than ideal garage.

Posting some initial photos (sorry about the lighting) in the hope that some more experienced members might offer some first observations on where to start!

Any recommendations for replacement hose options gratefully received...

Hi Ed.
I am based near Crediton, when you get the car back to Devon I would be happy to talk it over with you.
As for hoses SNG or David Manners are all OK , I would stick with standard ones for now.
Good luck looks like a good project.
Neal.

Thanks for the generous offer Neil and the advice. Once I have her here near Plymouth I'll be in touch.

Steve....really enjoying the forum and can see it will prove invaluable as a novice like me plays catch up with the experts!
