that would be funny, but then I'd have to paint the car the same colour to explain it, AND spend all my time overtaking people which might get tiresome.Are you going to have a bumper sticker made up saying “ You’ve been Tango’d”?

I made some little brackets to reattach the top of the rad support panel after I cut it off.
I feel like a bit of a vandal, but I think it'll make removal much easier.

Looks like the replacement is welded in, and quite rough at the join. I wonder if the original was rusted. did you speak to the owner Rob? was there an explanation?You're not the first to cut that section out Jon. I saw this on a 240 I was thinking of buying a few years ago. That and a few other things (like the headlight scoop alignment) put me off tbh.

I think it's good idea. I did the same with my MGB GT V8 racecar, makes engine out service real easy compared to before...I made some little brackets to reattach the top of the rad support panel after I cut it off.

I've chopped the top of the rad support panel out and made a start removing the current engine. I need the KEW twin idler off it before I can fit the timing cover on the new engine, and the head needs to be drilled for m12 head bolts.

Do you mean a Robin?Hey Jon when I was 16 I had a Reliant 3 wheeler. Took the engine out through the inside of the 'car'.
Probably a Regal in those days
