Time to Start a Miglia

14 Oct 2014, 1:22am
Well as I am away in Vietnam, I thought I would do a bit more interet and eBay shop (retail therapy for the thought of another 37 day in the middle of the sea).

1) Dunlop Style Wheel (Triumph TR4/5 type) Puchase off ebay for a good price.

[/indent]

2) Wheel Paint (inc Primer / Paint / Lacquer). For use on my Miglia and Range Rover Classic 2-Door

[indent]

[/indent]

3) Maserati Service Stickers (Plus a few other)

[indent]

[/indent]

4) Goodwood AA Sign Sticker (Another little project)

[indent][/indent]

5) Dunlop Rim Logos (ordered both sizes 2" and 3")

[indent][/indent]

6) Logo for AA Land Rover 8" (these are to be resized)

[indent][/indent]

7) Logo for RAC Land Rover 8" (these are to be resized)

[indent][/indent]

8) Document / Tool Wallet

[indent][/indent]

9) Tyres

[indent]

Decide to go with Dunlop SP Sport BluResponses, ordered
195/65 R15 for the Front
205/65 R15 for the Rear[/indent]

10) Also been thinking about a grille logo, I have though about adapting the Maserati Trident in to a M for Miglia / Michael etc (the L is for my daughter Lucy), need a little work.

[indent][/indent]

10) Spinner and Adapters now to order.

Oh, and here are few more of wreck rescues for me to get on with over the year (years) or so.

Jaguar XJ6C Convertible (awaiting more details)



Land Rover 1960


Land Rover 1965


Land Rover 1981


Worst thing is I only went on to buy a Jaguar V12 engine and end up with these. Well early Christmas presents to myself, hope the mrs doesn't find out till after Chrsitmas.

I'd suggest you cut off your Ebay account, before your wife cuts off a key part of your anatomy! :eek:

Good luck, Paul. :)

I was actually thinking that, and the worst part is I hadn't been drinking.

Love the XJ6C! I had a Series 3 XJ6 'back in the day' and it was a stunningly beautiful car!
Badly tuned and only doing 8mph the way i was driving it, but nevertheless a lovely car! :)
