    OK all you classic car guys, what the heck is this thing?

    Heha :thumbright: At my old job, the popular thing was to put a penny coin in the hub cap (rear wheel) of someone's car. Of course, when they would stop it was impossible to trace where the noise was coming from. We did dreadful things to unsuspecting new employee's :p

    My girlfriend, who's clever, says its the interior of a starter solenoid, she looked at the schematic and it is indeed, located near the radiator. It's missing its external covering.

    lol, thanks mate - hmmm,.. yeah, rather scraping the wingtips there :shock: Tis a touch too low methinks. I'll raise her up a bit whenever I have a bit of time (ho ho)- my work has gone mental at the moment... which is why my visits on here have been a bit sporadic of late. Hey ho, pays the bills!

    No worries :) ...and nope! didnt spot any kind of mistake (then again I'm not obsessed with them!) they have to be accurate though otherwise you get the whole "that particular dimension of grill on the SWB didnt get manufactured until JULY 1961, thats a JUNE model"

    You could also consider the Fiat 500, as again, I've got links with the owners club mag, I've done a few covers for them and some bits and bobs, they owe me a favour ;)

    Y'know what? I think you should just leave it 'as is' - the drawing is of top quality and (its just like, my opinion dude) it completely and utterly stands up on its own. I dont think you need a background, I used to keep adding to stuff and fill in spaces, but sometimes its better to leave it...
