Re: Stoneleigh Restoration Show
They should know our club as we have been dealing with them for the Bromley Pageant. Good luck with the show

Re: Stoneleigh Restoration Show - Sunday 24th October
Form received and sent back today, applied for same pitch size as last year and even though new people running, same as previous years, can be 2 cars on the stand, 1 for showing and 1 for being worked on.
SO COME ON GUYS WE NEED 2 CARS :wave: :wave:
And they are offering, if I read it right :eh: that they are giving away £500 for the 'Best Active Club Displays of Restoration' so got to be worth a try :+:
-
Re: Stoneleigh Restoration Show - Sunday 24th October
Well I will be going but its someone else's cars time to be worked on,
But if your struggling for a car to be worked on Ive got 3 restoration projects :lol:
Seriously though I will bring tools etc and help

Re: Stoneleigh Restoration Show - Sunday 24th October

Re: Stoneleigh Restoration Show - Sunday 24th October
Hoping to be there...however, I don't think welding's allowed, from what I've been advised?? Or chassis jigging, I believe?? :lol:
So I think that's all mine out, too... :oops:
'Dark side'...mk2/mk3, or even worse??

Lol, doubt they'd have room for that, last time I did some chassis pulling - it involved a landrover and a length of chain. :lol:
'Dark side' = I went and bought a mk2 :oops: (tho' I love him to bits and we do also still own one mk1) :mrgreen:

Re: Stoneleigh Restoration Show - Sunday 24th October
Debs have there been any arrangments made for the resto show yet ? Just thinking aloud but we dont have much time left :? Really should get peeps offering their mk1s for the event and making sure we have the right tools at hand for the 'project car'.
I could always be persuaded to show the mk2 if we're short :twisted: :lol: PMSL (joke)

Please can we have a volunteer car/cars otherwise no point in turning up :think:

Re: Stoneleigh Restoration Show - Sunday 24th October
Might be worth a post in 'off topic' or general Debs. Some people rarely go into events so it may bring it to their attention ? :think:
-
Re: Stoneleigh Restoration Show - Sunday 24th October
Hmm...coolant flush/thermostat housing replacement any good?? :eh:
Not the most involving job, but an hour's work for some to get their teeth into... :)

Sounds good :+: I hope this goes ahead, the response hasn't been great which is a shame. We need one car for working on and one for showing off.
Anyone want to bring their car ?
Unfortunatly Chris' mk1 wont be finished in time otherwise we'd bring her, Oukie, Richard, Danthrax do you have owt ? :eh: Dont worry if they're not pristine, I'll bring polishing gear and we'll clean it up. :think:
-
Re: Stoneleigh Restoration Show - Sunday 24th October
Well...if you wanted something more...the heater pipes have just gone!! :lol: :lol:
Got to try locate some in time, however if I can tee them off(and link them) at engine end, I can still run her... :shifty:
Edit: she could do with a clean too, come to think of it!! :lol:

Crap. :roll: Just been informed that the organisers of the show dont much like work being done that involves fluids exiting the cars. Another problem i didn't think of is the need to run the car to bleed it's coolant system. D'oh. :cry:
This isn't going so well is it ? . Anything else wrong with anyones car ? :lol:
We can still give your car a good pampering No3157
-
Re: Stoneleigh Restoration Show - Sunday 24th October
Ahh...just found a set of heater pipes too...shame... :-:
No grief, can do it myself...I'll deffo take you guys up on some TLC for her though!! Thankyou!! :clap:
Hmmm...anyone else then??
-
Re: Stoneleigh Restoration Show - Sunday 24th October
Come on peep's. we need two cars to make this happen. :crazy:
-
Re: Stoneleigh Restoration Show - Sunday 24th October
I was gonna go in my mk1 anyway so don't mind it going on the stand, just thought it was another members turn
That and it was my car that was on the stand last year getting a gearbox replaced :+:
But I love the show and If could actually see some of it this year, would be great.
So if no body else objects, my car could be the shiny (ish) one.
Chris

Re: Stoneleigh Restoration Show - Sunday 24th October
Chris, by all means put your mk1 on the stand. We need to find out for deffo whether or not we can do a coolant system overhaul as it's looking like our only option at the mo'. :think:
Obviously though the car WILL need to go outside for at least the last bit of system bleeding (engine running). So here's hoping we're ok to move the car about. Debs any info on where abouts the stand will be in relation to doors ?
Plus we can detail both the cars while they're there Oukie, they will both be purdy by the end of the day. :+:
Does anyone have the phone number for the organiser ? I can ring them to find out more info and rules etc... :think:

Hi cassi
I'v popped up something in gen discussion for you to raise interest, as this is such a good show, but it takes a lot of organising. I hope this post helps.
-
Re: Stoneleigh Restoration Show - Sunday 24th October
This is an awesome show. I really really wish I could make it.
In fact, I'm gonna see if I can. I'm still gutted I missed last year.
I'd offer either my N/A or SC for work (both need reassembling of some sort - the N/A needs a suspension part replaced - easy enough really - and the SC needs the engine finished reassembling and rewiring). However, either one would have to be trailered there, which I don't have the means to do at the moment. :-:
I'll see if I can come. I'm really really up to my eyeballs with work, but need to start taking a day off here and there as I'm starting to go properly mental. :roll:

Thanks Jo :+: I cant believe there hasn't been more interest in this. It was one of my first shows and I've loved it ever since.
I'm not quite sure what to do TBH. With only two weeks to go, no boards, no pics (though I think Chris may still have some here from a couple of shows ago). We have two possible cars :?: But no idea if we're allowed to do coolant overhauls... Jo do you know any details of 'behind the scenes' ?

Yes Maximus, you must try your best after all we need a decent photographer :+: (if it goes ahead)
We have the same problem though, El would need trailering up there and it would cost us a bomb. :(

I thought Debs was organising the show?
You aren't allowed to do things involving fluids IIRC, the details are in the pack sent to the organisers along with the tickets etc. they tightened up since the very first one i did.
therefore coolant wouldn't work as it involces fluid and running the engine - 2 no-no's.
An idea :idea:
maybe mock up some work, such as stripping down and rebulidng a caliper or something else where a nomal car goes to the show, has soemthing removed and put straight back on again?

I'm afraid that I have no time to organise this show, my day job has taken over and I'm bringing work home, something I have never ever done before but needs must, if I don't buy, we don't make, no-one will have a job :-: :-:
Also triple booked for that weekend too, not sure what I am going to do yet, will need to have a think :crazy:
Tickets have arrived this morning, only good thing so far.....can NOT believe no one has offered their car/s :eh:

Re: Stoneleigh Restoration Show - Sunday 24th October
I've just got in from fetching a replacement gearbox, I would've thought gearbox oil would fall under fluids, but if you've fitted one of these previously I assume that'd work if you can't find anything easier to do?
I'm a little ashamed of her current appearance though. :oops:
I might see if my friend fancies popping along either way seeing as we're only down the road in Donington... :)

Gearboxes have been done before, so pretty sure if you are offering your car, it will be snapped up to be worked on :+: :+:
-
Re: Stoneleigh Restoration Show - Sunday 24th October
Gearbox I think has been done before, Chris has had to go on to sea this week but I'll get a chance to speak with him at some point this evening and will ask his opinion. :think:
State of the outside of the car isn't an issue but if we can go ahead with the work are you able to get your car and the gearbox to the show ?
