Re: Just bought 60s Cox GTM project NDB414G
i think it will be very tight for Stoneleigh, still needs painting and the guys I want to use are very busy but do a cracking job, I also need to sort out what I'm doing with the door windows. I was thinking I might trailer it to Blyton Park, which is closer to me, the day before.
I'm not looking forward to fitting the rear or the front screen.

Re: Just bought 60s Cox GTM project NDB414G
I did a front screen in my Cox in 1980-81, replacement bought from GTM at Sutton Bonington was slightly less deep and I had to bond in a glass fiber filler strip along the lower edge of the screen aperture to make it fit, after my resent struggle I still don't know if the screen rubber was too big for my rear screen, but it was the smallest size and bend radius in the catalogue when I bought it.

This is looking amazing! Hopefully will be able to catch you at Blyton to see this in the flesh, I'll be there at least on a trailer but hopefully driving.

Looks lovely, if competing the doors circles don't need to be that big, my old Cox had circles just on the door, if competing you probably don't need door circles as a black number on the door would be seen easily. John

Re: Just bought 60s Cox GTM project NDB414G
I just noticed your exhaust on the R-H side looks to be the lowest bit hanging down underneath, expect to be grounding and changing it soon?? I used to scrape the gear change where it passes under the gearbox on my old Cox. John

I used to scrape the gear change where it passes under the gearbox on my old Cox. John The exhaust is a bit of a work in progress. The manifold and collector box where from Maniflow and for a later GTM but it sat way too low, I've had to do quite a bit of chopping/welding to get it to where it is. Now the car is running I can take it to a place in Leeds which do custom exhausts and will hopefully do a better job than me. The door circles are for show really, although it would be nice to have a go at a hillclimb in some sort of road going class, we will see.

Looking good,
odd on the images as I have just tested some over links/pics added like yours and they worked!

They show up on my phone and iPad but not my work machine. Very odd.

I can see them if I right click and open in a new tab but just see a place holder in the post that doesn't act as a link.

It's lovely Andy, very nice job. Can I ask where you got your stripes and stick on number plates from?
