Okay thanks, the tar and glue remover seems to be working fine at the moment, with a bit of elbow grease!

Too tempting to do

Glue residue removal. Take the bonnet from the car, turn it over on a table with a blanket on it, use terpentine or glue remover. It sounds like a lot of work, but your engine and your back will be gratefull. :-) Do not use a metal scraper, you will scratch the paint and getting rusting in progress...

I've not done this before, but my first move would be with a bit of heat and a scrapper I reckon before trying anything chemical. Okay thanks for the advice, would you recommend maybe a filler spreader to use as a scraper? I think you'd need a metal scrapper to make any progress Okay thanks for you...

Hi, So the time has come for me to replace the bonnet lining on my '84 Rocco. I've removed the old lining, but it has left behind its glue- I've been recommended tar and glue remover to use to remove it. My question is whether normal tar and glue remover (like from Halfords) will be kind to the old ...

Okay thanks! I'll check it out!

another way is to use your parents policy and put yourself on as a main driver of the vehicle. only trouble is if you crash then you lose your parents no claims. some insurers will let you build no claims this way so you only lose your own and not your parents. do your research and ring around as t...

on a different note to your situation. you could always rebuild the car the way you want so its 100% before you start driving her around ;-) there only gonna go up in value. they ( slowly ) are going up Haha not with this Rocco ;-) It's completely original with 25k miles so I'm trying my best to ke...

As far as I know most classic policies only cover drivers over 25. That along with the usual 5K mileage limit might put that right out the window. I use RH Classic Insurance, and had my 20vt mk2 covered for about £250, all mods declared but 5k mile limit. On a normal policy it would have cost me we...

Driving is an amazing feeling! Tell me about it, for my first year I'm running a Seat Ibiza 1.2, but it costs me £1200 and that's with a black box!
