If you're prepared to remove it yourself, I have one available here in Morecambe.

I didn't know there was anyone so close by! I fitted an aftermarket 12V electric pump, can't help you with a manual one. But you're welcome to come by and see if there is anything you'd like to remove?

Ball joint, tie rod end and handbrake cables - part numbers shown. Front bumper rubbers, studs sheared so they'll need new ones welding on. And yes, I found one seat belt reel cover but it's falling apart. Numerous assorted parts. Oil filter. Ignition switch. Spark plugs. Bulbs. Fuses...

LHD steering rack. Drive shaft. Torsion bar. Anti-roll bar. Spare wheel holder. 3/4 of a Napoleon's hat front crossmember.

The boot floor mat is very worn out. It has shrunk and no longer fits on the retaining pegs. These belt reels don't have covers. But you can have the reels. The reversing lights are here, and retrofitted with LEDs. The bonnet safety wires are just bits of bike brake cable bolted on. You...

Centre console and radio. Front left floor plate. Pre-rusted for your convenience!

Instrument cluster, in kilometres. 135302km. I think I had started adding a temperature gauge in the blank slot below the fuel gauge.

Door switches and fittings for internal cabin lights with delay timer (from VW golf). Various dashboard accessories including original Renault clock, gauges for rpm, vacuum, temperature. USB sockets, mystery switches (what do they do?) Headlamp bulbs. Engine gasket set. Stroboscope.

Haynes manual, with severe water (?) damage. Gear lever bushing repair kit. Drive shaft seal. High level rear stop light.

Roof rack, with one bad patch of rust but salvageable. Needs a little welding and powder coat or re-galvanising.

Yes, these are in good condition under all the moss. Probably the youngest component on the car! £10 Inc postage?

Hello Brian, good to hear from you. We're well but yes sadly I have neglected this car for many years and this is the inevitable result. I did have a lot of fun with it back in the day!

The suspension arms are fine, the pins into the bushes are intact. I also appear to have a pair of new bushes Franzose part number 83030. Near Morecambe, Lancashire. I have one door pocket, rather battered around the fixing holes. Very dirty but undamaged. Would clean up lovely with a good...

The rear axle should be salvageable. It's the cast type. Luckily for you, it was already dismantled and stored under cover for the last few years so it's less rusty than the rest. Those are available. I'll take some photos tomorrow.

Can you spot a familiar car in this trailer?

Yes thanks for that Pepper, it worked out much cheaper than new shocks, since apart from the rubbers they were still in good condition. I've got some phosphoric acid as a rust treatment, but never used it before so I'm not quite sure what to expect. I just want to kill any rust around the...

Ooh exciting! Looking forward to your next update!

I have replaced the failed bushes with fancy polyurethane ones from SuperFlex. I used methyl ethyl ketone to extract and reuse the steel crush tube that was bonded into the old rubber bush, and reassembled with big washers as per the original design. Unfortunately the shock absorber wasn't the...

Thanks harbourseal, I'll send you a private message. It pressed out quite easily using a G-clamp and a large socket, and smacking the back of the clamp on the floor to give an extra push.

Phew, I'll try knocking it out tomorrow. Are the studs easy to find at a motor factors or will I need to order from der Franzose? I'm rather afraid I might have ruined a set of brake shoes whilst getting the drum off, too. Everything's going wrong today.
