I have to say that you and all the guys on this forum who tackled their own bodywork and painting have done top work . My Ser 3 is bubbling on the doors and I am not about to do it myself, that is a job that has to be tackled seriously with the right tools and skills...so - no spare bucks at the moment so it will have to rust in peace for now.

Yes, Jan, I think it is important to do the best possible work on these cars. I have repaired cars mecanic and bodywork for about 30 years. So I hope my car will be as good as possible. I do all the work myself, exept outside painting. My friend is professional and he will do the paint outside my car(cheap i hope). I an wery impressed to see the wery serious restoring on the Sunbeams.

Yes; second that 100%. Some remarkable work done and shown on here. I'm OK at patching up and some mechanicals; put's me to shame! Still great there are others more skilled and that they should like Rapier's to boot! ![](images/icon_smile_big.gif) |

tell you what ...say I had 2 million pounds spare... My dream car would be to put a tiger engine in my ser 3, the latest tech diff, gearbox and suspension and all that goes with all that - like top mags, low and wide as can go, best leather interior with all the bells..I would pop it in a Hercules, ship it over to you guys on this forum and ask you's nicely to make it over for me.... would that be cool or what ... |

Hi, yes the car is green, and I hav worked as much as possible on it. Here are some pictures taken to day. I have problems with an oil leak from the speedodrive. I have new o-ring, but any know if it is possible to have a new oil seal?

Looking good Jan!!
I've recently replaced the oil ring, not a problem there.. even if it doesn't seem to be badly flattened it will fail.. We just bought a general replacement with the right dimensions and the oil leak had disappeared!
