Re: WTH??!?! Have you seen this item on ebay.
That's interesting Thorp....... Are you saying that that the steel casing has bulged outwards? Is it leaking?
Re: WTH??!?! Have you seen this item on ebay.
The steel casing has rusted through/split, and the rubber has bulged out under pressure and split; there is a fluid weep.
To be fair, I had noticed the metal wasn’t looking very well a while back, but the car has barely been used for a few years due to lack of time other than moving between garages during a house move.

Really strange car this, it’s got a twin bolt frame but it has a Mk4 rear bulkhead. Possibly rebuilt at some point

Re: WTH??!?! Have you seen this item on ebay.
Based on the TMF thread linked below it is interesting to note that many of the Mk4 changes started to appear in later Mk3 bodyshell production BEFORE the full transition to what is now defined as a Mk4 shell.S33blo wrote: ↑Sat Jul 06, 2024 9:23 amBrynmor wrote: ↑Sat Jul 06, 2024 8:21 am Couple of oddities here…
