Re: Kevin Birch's Interceptor

Thanks all for your comments, I'm really chuffed that my car has been chosen for car of the month. If and when funds allow, I will get her resprayed, but which way to go. I do like the present colour scheme, although, I would like to return it back to white with a blue interior, even though I don't ...

Looking forward to it, It will be a 260 mile round trip for me, so have filled my tank for the first time :shock: , glad it didn't leak :D

Not a common sight, but will get used to it next month, though I don't think my wallet will.

Good day today Paul, well done for organising it, and the weather couldn't have been better.

Good to meet other members and finally put faces to names, all in all really enjoyed it.

Re: Dartmouth Park Spring Fair, West Bromwich, Sat 7 May 201

Does this mean Paul is reneging on the after event salutations? I believe he offered myself and others a festive board at the Interceptor Public House. He hasn't changed from when he was a spotty schoolboy, always ducking and diving. :shock:

Re: MK2 Interceptor on EBay

That looks a nice car, and honest description. I think a little too expensive, but I am tempted, as I do covert the MK2.

Re: Dartmouth Park Spring Fair, West Bromwich, Sat 7 May 201

Is this legal, I haven't got an Equity card? It was all done ad hoc, I'd been working until 21:00 the night before, and then straight down the pub as its quiz night, and don't want to let my team down. Left the pub at around midnight, up again the next morning to drive to the park, so would never lo...

Re: Dartmouth Park Spring Fair, West Bromwich, Sat 7 May 201

Here's the footage, as seen on local TV last Friday.

If I'd have known I was to be filmed, I may have made a bit more of an effort, just thought they were taking piccies of the car for the local news paper. :shock:

Re: Interceptor/FF 50th Anniversary Grille Badges Available

Christian, my Interceptor badge has been in the same position since I rebuilt the grille, not too sure of the correct position, and put the new badge on to try to balance the look.

Re: 115/3067 bought back from France

Hi Gary, Hadn't thought of rubber around the fan casings, it makes sense, so might look into that, cheers. The filter is doing a good job at the moment, but I am wary that it could clog up and significantly reduce water flow, so am keeping my eye on regularly, checking it every 100-150 miles or so. ...

Re: 115/3067 bought back from France

Hi Grant, I made the filter out of an old stainless steel sieve, and the just cut and shaped it by hand. Pictures show the filter, in place on the radiator, and the crap it trapped in the past week, most of it rust scales. The top hose just goes over the filter and inlet to seal it all, and don't lo...

Re: 115/3067 bought back from France

Rod, The fan is actually manufactured by Vemo, and fits loads of VAG cars. Part number is Vemo V15-01-1812, easily available on the net, Rejen supplied mine. The blades fit the original cowling perfectly, but you will need to make some brackets to fit the fans, as their mounting points (3 bolts) are...

Re: 115/3067 bought back from France

Grant & Rod
I will answer your questions in more detail tomorrow, after taking photos etc to give you a clue.

Colin,

I have no intention at the moment of recolouring the engine bay, it still has most of the fabric type covering still attached, and don't know where I want to go with it.
