Well, last message from me on this forum I suppose. Yesterday an old friend visited me and he said he had always wanted a V8 P6. Sooooooo we made a deal. He is going to pick up the car in the next week or so. He is not new to classics, having owned his Willys Jeep for decades, has a Landcrab...

It is a very satisfying thing to do. You actually repair something - from a rust hole to new shiny metal. Do not buy the cheapest machine. I bought my 160A welder almost 30 years ago for around 700€ (secondhand) and still use it often. Never regretted the buy. My brother is using it now for...

Thanks for the tips. The car is not NADA, just a common as chips 3500 automatic delivered new in the Netherlands :)

My 1976 Rover 3500 will need all new brakes as it has been standing for 21 years. So, I am curious to learn/know about the interchangeability of parts. Front calipers - Girling type 16PB? Same as the 2000/2200? Same as Triumph TR6? Rear calipers - type? Master brake cylinder Servo - what are...

Peize! Coincidence, my little brother lives there as well. Keep the Flapper injection. I have it on my Range Rover 3d and it has been very reliable in the three years I used the RR as an everyday car.

Hi Tony, Good to see you here as well! Just answered the P6 air conditioning question you asked me a month or so ago - on the JOC forum :p

Got a surprise delivered today. OK - the seller described the book as very good condition but I did not think the Workshop Manual was brand new. Packed in its original carton box (!) together with the chapter on the BW35 and the one on air conditioning (jay!). In the box he also inserted a...

Goed bezig Pepijn!

Anyone what these holes on the inner LH front wing could have been used for?

I never understood why the British were so fond of their folding Webasto or Britax sunroofs. You know the vinyl will need replacement after a number of years. Plus the fact it will make more noise than a proper steel sliding sunroof. In the Netherlands having a steel sunroof was very common in...

Do not give up on the car. We need more road-going P6s in the Netherlands!

Hoi Thijs. Ben woonachtig in centrum Tilburg (oud gemeentelijk badhuis)! Wees van harte welkom als je een keer in de buurt bent - ik werk grotendeels vanuit huis (ITer) dus ben meestal bereikbaar. Heb gisteravond jouw verhaal gelezen maar kon nog niet reageren - de forumadmin moest me eerst nog...

Thank you Unstable Load and Willy. Yes, I reckon everything regarding the brakes will need to be reconditioned. The car has been resprayed after the fitment of new wings and doors, about 25 years ago. But the big question for me is the engine. If it is stuck then I am stuck, it possibly is a...

+1 for the Speed Bleeders. Available from Demon (I think I got them there), about 12 pounds each I think. Gunsons is fine but I have often had a leak at the cap at the master cylinder. Or the cap on the Gunsons reservoir. Whatever which always creates a big mess. Use a tyre with low pressure...

Three years ago a very good friend of my sister called me to ask if I would know someone to take over the P6b of his father, which had died. We made an appointment to check on the car which was in a huge storage barn. It has been there since 1997. Barn find? History. The car was owned...
