Received my marti today :)

Good stuff! I will see if I can find any over here to give it a go. Over here in the UK I have been using "citric acid" which im sure is available in the US. I put about 5 gallons or water in a garden trug, and then just mix in some acid, I dont measure but I guess its about 3 table spoons...

When / If you bite the bullet Mark, I may be interested in your old wheels/tyres :)

Thats good to know, im only in Farnham, Surrey (just up the road from wheels day). The Chelsea Cruise is also picking up momentum again, particularly through the summer months :)

Back in the good old days, if you smiled nicely or was a familiar face at the counter they would let you pick out the regno yourself from what what left from the current 999 numbers they were using. Unless you got a missirable old bat :D On a side note, I remember signs being up in the office...

Dont worry im not a Rozzer lol lollerz The second letter in you regno denotes where it was first registered in the UK, In your case its an "L" which is West London, and the VRO for West London back then was Victoria Road Ruislip. Back then Ruislip used to cover all of NW, W, SW Middlesex...

Looks a beauty He must be fairly close to me, do you know if the MOCGB will be represented @ Wheels Day next month?

Technically only the tread of the tire has to be contained within the arch! But that is interpreted differently from rozzer to rozzer. I would just tell them that they are factory fitted wheels, they can never prove different, and because its classified as a historic car they will soon loose...

Thanks Mark Just had a look at your website, and loving the Convertible :) Looks like it was Registered at the Ruislip VRO when it arrived in the UK. Is the car still down south (West London)? Cheers Al

You read my mind ::thumb:: I did read somewhere that the NASA hood was std on the 71 model Mach 1's and then became an option ::shrug:: Im still learning so would like to know. Would the Marti report show this? Thats lovely ::thumb:: But dont make the choice any harder than it is lol ;) I...

Im after the following, & must be able to ship to the UK: Full set of headliner bows Both rear bow retainers Full set of headliner retainers/grippers Must all be from a Mach 1 / Sportsback Cheers Al

Hi all Just thought I would share by doing a build thread on my newly purchased 72' Mach 1 (built August 71) I have just purchased this from a dealer in California (who sells to a good friend of mine on a regular basis). Its a blue and gold plate car and I have been told that it is completely...

Thanks for the advise :) I certainly will be using the sponsers of this website in the near future ::thumb:: So im now on the search for bows & retainers :chin: I have found some bows in California but they wont ship to the UK which is a shame :huh: The light may well be missing as well...

For sure :D And to make matters worse, I have just ruptured my calf muscle so will be on crutches pretty much until it arrives :-/ On the bright side, a dodgy leg gives me plenty of time for online researching :bravo:

Hi all I recently bought a Mach from California and I am waiting for it to be shipped to the UK, so I cannot physically see it in the flesh. I know it needs a headliner, bows, sound proofing & sail boards, by this picture I have been sent below. I am told the plastic edge trims are in the...

Thanks, my search continues to what GW should look like :)

Very nice ::thumb:: Is your trim code GW out of interest? My Mach has the 3F/GW combo but the seats have been changed to all black at some point, but GW is described as; "White Vinyl with Black Appointments"

Thanks for your input :cool: Being a 45 y/o car chances are many things have changed over the years, but I wont be able to inspect it properly until it lands with me, but my man on the ground in California knows his stuff and would point out any obvious collision damage. You can chemically...

Thanks for the warm welcome :) The plan is to put it back close to factory spec. I have built many cars over the years, they were mainly European Fords & VWs though, so this will be a new adventure. Will check the for LSD when it arrives with me. It currently has the wrong front seats...

Hi Klaus I will be driving past your part of Germany in April, on my way to Austria :)
