This weeks Torque Show comes to you from the @ClassicMotorShowNEC at the Birmingham NEC. The team got the chance to have a chat with some of our friends such as Ben from @dadcars about what makes the ultimate family car, Anthony Hamilton (father of racing drivers Sir Lewis Hamilton and Nicolas Hamilton) about his recent work with @BeaulieuNationalMotorMuseum as well as Josh and Bob from the Classic Car Loan Project, a scheme to get younger people behind the wheel and experience a genuine classic for a year.
Along with that, Molly joined Craig for a look around what was on offer from our friends at @iconicauctioneers before their record breaking sale as well as a look around some of our favourite stands of this must-see event.
Remedial repairs to our 1970 Fiat 500
November 15, 2024
Parts have arrived for our 1970 Fiat 500 so we can now continue on with the repairs.
We’ve taped up the cut wiring in the engine bay and neaten the whole area.
Adjusted the pedal heights via the stop on the clutch pedal and added a small, rubber buffer to each pedal stop.
The grommet has been refitted grommet on fuel pipe in the engine bay.
Next up, Jon has cut a piece of MDF and covered it in sticky back foam to fit behind the battery. This has helped to secure into position.
Adjusted the nearside door striker, removed the front wheels.
Remove nearside track rod. Strip and fit new track rods. We’ve found the ball pins are much smaller so won’t fit so we’ve had to leave until the correct ones arrive.
Strip and fit new front wheel bearings.
