[Top Down]

Barely qualifies for 'What's on your bench .... ' but here are a pair of Caterhams sourced from the FOR SALE section, resurrected at minimal cost.

           

On the left the blue car in particular really shows the dust gathered 'resting at the back of the pits'. After a good 'wash and brush up' - disassembly, clean in soapy dishwater and re-oil - I opted to remove the remaining headlights and front indicators and simply invested in a pair of mudguards for the yellow car to bring them both up to 'Track Day' spec.

           

The missing tailpipe on the yellow car was replaced by drilling deep into the silencer' inserting a plastic tube and bending it to shape before securing it with liquid cement. The blue car is missing a front wishbone and rear lights. neither bother me but I may bend up a wire wishbone at some point. Guides are yet to be re-braided. Three of the four rear wheels needed a spot of CA to keep them in place and they might just get wrapped in fresh 'rubber' slicks. We'll see how they go first.

           

Looking respectable and all ready for some track time again
