ptjs1 Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Bill, Tks for that. I finally realised that the problem was caused by using Google Chrome on my small netbook. At 100%, it didn't display the left-hand side menu options. Changed resolution to 90% and Bingo! I could then access the left menu areas. Really interesting blog! A few items that I'd like to ask you about re. the engine rebuild, so I'll drop you a separate email rather than disrupt your thread here. Tks again Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bill Bourne Posted October 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Your going to have fun fitting fuel pipes now Bill. Stuart. I knooooow ! and there is quite a bit of other fiddling to do to get things to fit the way I want them to, but I'm really pleased with the paint job. Just got to hope I don't scratch anything. mmmm , unlikely but I'm going to try. Best Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Hi Steve Thank you Oh I'm sure it will be used although this is Fiona's car, so perhaps not as much I would use it. It certainly won't be shut away as an ornament though..

Bill Bourne Posted November 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Terrific Bill but your door trim is upside down, minor detail . Roy Hi Roy I wondered when someone would spot that. Although I looked at numerous pictures of other TR5's and it's 50 -50 - some are down and some are up. I like them up and I'm leaving them as they are. Weeely don't want to take them off again - ooh no. Best Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bill Bourne Posted November 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Really coming together now Bill bet you are proud of what you have achieved. Cheers Mike. Hi Mike Thank you - yes, it does feel good putting it together. Each bit fitted feels like a small victory. Great sense of achievement. I'm very lucky though to have some experienced help looking over my shoulder. Next the fuel lines. Big mistake. I should have done these before the body was fitted. It would have been a lot easier. But events and time overtook me and I lost the opportunity to fit them. But I am where I am. So currently reviewing all my options at the moment. Best Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
