New (to me) 400c

I do have a 400+ page pdf document that I'll try and post here. Part of it is model codes and part of it paint, though it doesn't give the paint application process.

It's a shame that it isn't an Excel file, where we can order the columns as we need!

My paint guy is looking into it, if he comes up with a paint code that looks about right I will put it on this thread.😀

Indeed it is! 

As I said, a real shame that we can't "data sort".

Converted to Excel so you should now he able to perform a "search" on all the different fields. Let me know how you get on.

Thanks Barrie, that's very clever of you!

I have manged to remove the pistons from the front brake caliper. One came out easily but the other one had the fluid passage blocked by rust and I couldn’t get muck movement on it. Eventually I managed to get enough showing to get it in a vice and prise the caliper from the piston. Master cylinder has been rebuilt and I have replaced the hard line and the hose. On a different note I have posted the documents to the DVLA to see if they will play nicely with the registration. That’s all for now

This is what 10,000 miles looks like on an original tyre😀

Working on the rear caliper. One piston came out ok but the other one required an engineering solution.

Caliper back together, I made sure that the fluid passage ways were clear. They were blocked on the front one
