Hmm, that car looks familiar! I know every single nut and bolt on that car and have driven it 1000's of miles!

It always ran ok and it never let me down even though it always struggled to get oil up the top, what i used to do every few weeks was to pour some thick oil additive over the rocker shafts and it never gave me any grief, in fact it ran perfectly! When i sold the car the gearbox needed attention but i believe that has since been sorted. I have spoke to you before via email and you have written to me as i promised you a disc with pictures but my laptop is currently broken and i will sort some out when its fixed. I sprayed the car about 6 years ago and also replaced the pushrods in the engine with a stronger type. Also had tailfin (turtlespeeder) replace the rear discs and pads. I fitted the iron cross mirrors inside and out among a hell of a lot of other jobs. Is the light up glass skull inside that i fitted a few years ago?

there isnt any iron cross mirrors, but i still have the skull.

at the moment the car is waiting for someone to rewire it as it burnt the wiring loom out under the bonnet .

i think a wire touched the exhaust .

i was at the nats last week is this yours

thanks steve

Yes mate thats my zodi, me and Dell put a recon 3.0 v6 Essex motor and auto box in it last winter and it certainly goes well now! Got plans to sort a few bits on it this winter but still stuck in 2 minds whether to put shiny paint on it.
