im back off to the manufactures last week in feb, i havent finished with your"s and dave"s panels, as they havent been scanned, and as it costs over £600 to scan each one, i wont be doing that until just prior to actually placing an order with them.

i have the prices for the rears that you and dave lent me, and as the mk2 wings will be first, i will bring them back with me and just grab them off you again, nearer the time of production and take them back up for scanning. ( if thats ok with you two )

so see you both there, and ill bring your panels with me, and thanks.

LLyod.....................keep them until required save carting about mate.

if you are sure lee, as it would save me alot of driving around the country, cheers boyo.

Wow, Lloyd, you seem to have put an incredible amout of time, effort and money into this project, and I for one will be enernally grateful when it all comes to fruition.

I have had dealings with the other "supplier" whose parts are currently unavailable and which didn't fit properly anyway even when he had some. I know who I would rather deal with, and it isn't someone who pretends that things are (or will be) available when they're not (or won't be).

I have a Mk2 saloon and a Mk2 estate, and the next one to be welded will be the estate. One side seems solid but the other side is definitely not - so I'll need MK2 front wing(s), Mk1 sill(s) and possibly Mk1 rear wings(s) too.

May I take this opportunity to wish you all the very best with this project. I have emailed you, and my order(s) will follow!

hi andy,

thanks for your kind words, email sent.
im simply doing all this, as it needed doing, to enable our great cars to suvive, so keep your fingers crossed that i get enough pre orders to allow this to happen, the list grows daily so upward on onward

COPY OF CT POSTING REGARDING THE NOSE ON MIDDLE AND OUTER SILLS


hi tim,

my pleasure, i take it you want mk1"s ?

hi mikey,

yes you do, as colin and bill have both stated.
these outer sills are as original stanpart ones and look totally different to the " cover " sills that we have all been used to for so many years now.
as soon as they arrive, i will take some pics and post them, for you all to see..

for all of you on the sill list, i still havent had all of your email addys yet, i need this to send you the order forms, for those that havent sent me it yet, can you please do so, i will be taking order forms to stoneleigh also, you will find them with colin and amanda on the register stand along with the " sample "sills im taking up, in hall 4.

my thanks to all

lloyd

Lloyd will be there too...so you can thank him personally for the stirling work he is doing regarding panels.

Colin

shhhhhhhhhhhhhh colin

colin knows im pooing my pants regarding meeting you all, as talking to people i dont know is very hard for me, and being in the limelight is not my thing hiding away safely behind this keyboard is much more to my likeing !!!!

be gentle with me please people

hi guys,

the middle and outer sills have arrived , and dont look to bad at all my i say, i will post some pics of them a bit later, but while i mess around resizing them so they fit to the postings, here"s something to think about,

for all you that have ordered the sills, you will need jacking points, so ive had a very nice conversation today, with a chap that was well known in triumph circles years ago, ( and still is to some of us ) and has agreed to supply us with jacking points, THE PROPER ONES THAT FIT !!!!!!!!! and he is eager to help us / me in my quest to keep our beloved cars on the road, and i thank him deeply for that and so should all of you.

so if you need a full set of jacking points, let me know.

right, im off to mess around to try and get these pics to the right size !!!
