Track Rod Ends
1 Not always noticeable, a split track rod end gaiter will spill its lubricant grease, wear the joint, and make the steering feel loose and sloppy. A split steering rack gaiter enables oil to leak out and dirt to enter, which accelerates wear. To fit a new gaiter, the track rod end must be removed. O Clean any dirt and debris from the track rods using a stiff brush, and look for the spanner 'flat'. Measure from any point on the track rod to the centre of the track rod end. This will help when...

Old Vauxhalls have a reputation for rusting everywhere, so assume there's rot lurking in the floors, the sills and hidden behind all that lovely chrome trim. Panels can be hard to find and a car that needs all its brightwork rechroming could cost you a fortune to restore. Decent bumpers are hard to find, as are badges and interior trim. The club will be able to advise in detail on spares availability. Mark bought two replacement sills the rest of the replacement metal was formed by hand. one...

When I looked at the car it was crammed full of junk. Old wheels, bits of plastic, all sorts. I was amazed how well it cleaned up. The carpets are original, as are the door seals. Even the controls on the heater vents, which are famous for being snapped off easily, are still intact. The only thing I've changed is the door handles in the front. The rears were black, but the fronts red, so I fitted a spare set to the front so they'd all match up. With the estate finished and back on the road,...

Mk4 Ford Cortina Estate
ENGINE 1.6-litre inline-four TIME OWNED One year fourth large repair piece and get at least the first application of filler over it. When I got the car, it had huge holes behind the numberplate and it could have used a new bottom section - if available, which I think not. There's always a big risk of distortion when welding in pieces in a large panel, and even though I only did it half an inch primer, until I get another day when it's not raining. Then I'll spend a few hours on planing down the...

It's hard to believe that bank managers used to drive these in the 1950s. The little jobs such as clocks and boot lock seem easy but always turn into something more complicated, remembers Mark. But when the car came outside for the first time she looked great. The red and black seats clashed with the pink paint, so the interior got a retrim. The couple managed to save the original headlining but made new door panels from plywood and covered them with vinyl. We wanted to use the car so we made...

Etype Prices To Rise Further
Following on from our buyers guide in the May issue about getting yourself an E-type for less than 20,000, Jaguar expert Philip Porter has said that now's the time to buy one. Porter believes that all the publicity that's bound to accompany the 50th anniversary celebrations in 2011 will drive up prices. Icon is an over-used word but it applies to the E-type, he said. Next year we'll be celebrating the model's 50th and this will inevitably raise the car's profile. So, this is the time to buy...
