Hi Emmanuel,
   Were the doors I sent to you of any use and any news of CF64.
   Cheers
   Peter

Gentlemen just wanted to let you know that CF 64 sold for AUD 180,000 to a buyer in the Middle East, we believe the car is going to Kuwait but we await delivery details.
   I will of course suggest that the buyer joins the AC Car Club or at least tunes into the Forum.

Hi JJ,
   My e-mail address is pwdavis48@hotmail.com  I will change the address in my details. The only glass I have is in the pair of doors for a convertible.
   Cheers

Thank you for the compliments, as I do not drive the car and I certainly do not want it to be a museum exhibit I want to sell it to someone who will appreciate and use the car.
   As regards the bits and pieces I have I will take a few photos and attempt to post them here or e-mail them to anyone that is interested.

Hi JJ,
   Raising the hump by 1/2 an inch did not seem to make that much difference, I believe that there is a dead air spot over the engine. I was going to try and put air deflectors under the radiator to get air up into the engine bay or a front spoiler but as you may be aware ground clearance can be an issue. What we eventually did was to louvre the bonnet which was not a major issue as the new bonnet is aluminium and that did make a difference.
   Cheers

Hi Cliff,
   
   We have looked at rebuilding the valve but it is completely corroded, hence my question does anyone know the origin of the darn thing ???
   
   For the time being we have bypassed it completely as we have to get a wheel alignment and then the car is being tuned today. We are then looking at getting it transported down here in the near future, I will go up to Ballina and collect all of the bits and pieces like wheels , spare doors, various manifolds etc.
   
   Will post a photo when it is all done.

Hi Emmanuel,
   
   Will not have pictures until after the holidays,basically Australia has come to a stop now until about 4th Jan, however I will see if we can come up with something.
   
   Here's wishing you a Happy Christmas and Prosperous New Year. and the same goes to all you other AC nuts out there.

Hi Guys,
    I know I posted my plea for help on a Friday, and a belated Happy Turkey Day to those in the USA, but does any one have any suggestions as to where I might begin the search for the door handle and seat.
   
   This is now getting desperate and so am I after three and a half years of restoration !!!!!!
   
   Any help most welcome.
   
   Cheers

Hi Guys,
   
   I am in the UK but shock horror working, and time has got the better of me as I leave for Hong Kong in the morning.
   
   Should be retiring next year so hopefully will catch up then.
   
   sorry for not contacting any one but time really has flown by.
   
   Cheers

Hi John,
   
   
   will be arriving from the USA on Sunday 1st November and leaving on 5th Nov, I have to be in London for the 4th for meetings.
   
   I will be staying in Farnham Common Buckinghamshire.

Hi Clifford,
   
   Hold the phone as I am waiting for some photos of the area that is the mystery i.e. some vents in the foot wells. They do not appear to be conected to anything and would let in water in rain. I am seperated from my car by a considerable distance so have to wait for clarification.
   
   I will be in the UK briefly at the begining of November around the Farnham Common/Gerrards Cross area.
   
   Cheers

Clifford,

For those of you who have been riveted to this thread I am happy to report that I now have a pair of new old stock washher nozzles complete with rubber backing and stainless screws.
   
   These were supplied by Dave Sanderson ex UK, a gentleman to deal with as he sent them without security of payment, I have of course settled with him.
   
   Many thanks to those of you who helped in this exercise.
   
   Cheers
