Reliant Rescue

Well this is different isn't it

hello people

Post for a friend

anyone got a decent robin or Rialto chassis near or a reasonable distance from Stoke on trent

What are people doing with their bank holiday Monday?

I'm on bodywork, digging out some nasty star & spider cracks

If you've got a damaged or cracked dashboard then these dash panels make a huge difference

they come in stainless and I usually paint them

Someone sent me this seamless repair they saw on facebook 🤣

This Robin on facebook marketplace is actually very rare

Its only of the 100 limited edition BRG robins (british racing green edition)

These were the only robins to have things such as colour coded bumpers, green deep wool carpets, green seats, minilite wheels and a roof mounted aerial

It even still has its center box which is a rare item to find nowadays

It looks sorry for itself but its rare to find one so original now

People really need know what sort of rubber is on your car

just because it passes a MOT doesn't mean it's safe

For example, a 30 year old Bridgestone with cracks but not on the sidewalls

A slightly newer falken (only 20 years old) but with a huge flat spot

because Reliants aren't heavy cars tyres last forever so owners tend to leave them until they go bald

Again check your fuel pipes people

this one hasn't been changed since 2015 and it was barely hanging on

Not so handy if you want to check the points

Sundays are for tinkering

Found my oil leak, it was the front engine plate gasket, split at the top and was allowing oil out above the timing cover

A new one for me, never seen that happen before
