Is that Cypress Green? Looks to be a 87-88 car?

You need the tailgate lettering and some mudflaps!

I always think Classics look naked without a full set of mudflaps….maybe that’s some sort of repressed childhood thing…
Tail gate lettering and pin stripe is all bought and will go on eventually! smile

It’s an ‘89 registered car.

I will be putting mud flaps back on too at some point I think. Although I quite like it without.

I know what you mean about a repressed childhood thing; I always used to draw cars with extra driving lights and fog lights on the front.

All my cars are due to things I saw as a child.

At the local car meet this morning.

I believe it was Roger Taylor’s old one.

Big trouble with my LSE resto yesterday. A pal and I have followed the ABS bleed procedure several times. We get free flowing fluid on 3 calipers but the top nipples on the front offside doesn’t flow well.

The pump runs for under 45 seconds and primes up. But the calipers just lock solid!

Pump the pedal 30 times and it raises the fluid level and releases the pressure, but as soon as we start it again, or use the pedal, it locks solid again.

All brake pipes and flexi’s are new. The module and pump are being reused.

A bit lost as to what’s next…. This is out of my sphere of expertise

What happens if you unplug the ABS relay?

A other couple of bleeds of the ABS system and it now doesn’t lock on. Seems the pedal needs some adjustment because it doesn’t fully return which isn’t helping.

I now have a moving car which is nice!

Still got the abs light on, I can only get up to about 6mph on my drive, but the pedal pulsates if I brake hard from 5mph. So not exactly sure what do so there. Wondering if running it on the ramp for a bit might help the system pickup the sensors?

Two rear are new. Fronts reused
