    Raw egg in the radiator to stop leaks, sawdust in the sump oil to reduce consumption and oil burning, concrete in the rotting sills to get through the MOT, four spotlights on the radiator grill, and two more at the rear to blind those that dazzled us. Going to the scrappy on Sunday mornings - we used to pinch more than we bought!

    Those were the days.

    Going to the scrappy on Sunday mornings-Amazing how much stuff you could throw over the fence to collect on the way out:D
  • Some castor oil in the fuel tank to get that Castrol R aroma!?

    Anyone remember the plastic 'snow ploughs" fitted on the front of the bonnet to divert flies? Egg white, porridge, mustard etc was added to rads as the water system was unpressurised.
