Daimler Dart restoration


Part 16 [Part 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 ]

To be perfectly honest, I have done virtually nothing to the Dart over the past month. A combination of work commitments, a bout of the flu, and the approach of the Festive Season that has introduced a degree of pressure when it comes to my ever growing list of domestic jobs that need doing. Sadly, decorating doesn't help to get work done on cars, but it just serve to keep the peace on the domestic front.

However, my problem involving the brake restrictor valve has been solved. This elusive part has been found through the extremely kind generosity of a fellow Dart owner. Tom Bailey found a very delapidated Dart languishing in a field in the depths of Wales, and kindly took the trouble to remove the part from the car and sent it to me. A true Dart enthusiast!

So this month, more an update than a progress report.
