I didn't notice my garage was leaking until I went it to find all the storage bins down one side full of water and wet chipboard. Just thinking if the timbers are substantial then they will be holding a lot of water, might be worth getting some sort of heat in there for a few days to make it sweat, If the air bricks and vents are working then it should clear.
As a temporary measure try sweeping the grave off and painting over the leaks with isoflex roofing primer.

Is it happening as the wood and blockwork of the garage is drying out under the tarp, is the tarp keeping the moisture in?

I did similar, drove 100 miles to where my caravan was parked, was just about to get out of the car and said to the mrs 'you got the keys'? she gives me 'that look' and says 'no I thought you had them'... Normally we carry a set each.

Eek.. Ally Pally, not been there in a while... The last time I went to 'The Model Engineer Exhibition' must have been at Olympia back in the late 80's early 90's. I think I got a bronze for this DeLorean... Its an awful photo but I don't have the original anymore... I do have the model in a box somewhere in the loft but I bet its a bit tarnished now. Always wanted to do it again with electro luminescent sheet ... (goes to search ebay for EL sheet in blue...)

Seth, I've done a fair bit of model engineering in my 53 years but never attempted anything as small as this, huge pat on the back for keeping this craft alive with your skill.

It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to work out what's going on if cortinas are going missing close the venue of an all cortina banger race.From what I've read and heard over the years, most racers are honest and it's a small percentage that race stolen cars. The idea of only being able to race with a vin present with V5 would help things a lot.
I would like to see the honest racers get together and stamp this out of their sport. A few years ago this was being discussed on a ford forum and a banger racer was talking about it. I still remember his words "I race bangers, but all my cars are honest, I know lads that steal cars to race, but I would never do that." Someone must have an idea of who's doing it and people must turn a blind eye.
I'm amazed in the age of such strict health and safety that banger racing is still allowed to happen. Maybe the track could do the decent thing and cancel the cortina only meeting if it's obvious cars are being stolen for it.
I've had bikes for years and I always hear tales of road bikes going missing and turning into either track or race bikes. One of the bikes magazines reported that police were at a club meeting checking frame numbers and scanning bikes to check for data tagged parts on the bikes and that many racers were turning their fans around and going home when they came the circuit and found out these checks were happening.
Maybe someone from Essex Constabulary will see this and suggest a sunday out at the races... Waiting until everyone is in the paddock and actually arrest those responsible (if there are any) I used to crew for a driver at the Arena back in the very early 80's. His cars were straight, I know because I used to go with him to collect them and watched him pay for them. When there was a logbook available we always retained them until we took the car into Mayer Parrys (S) in Erith and watched it meet its final end. If there was no logbook then he always got a signed receipt. Its not rocket science to write down a few words and the VIN on a bit of A4 and get the previous keeper to sign. I love the mk3/4/5 Cortinas, would happily have another one like my old W reg and to think that these poor unwitting souls who have cherished these cars for 30+ years have been robbed of that pleasure really ticks me off (toned down to avoid censorship)

First car i have any lasting memory of is my Dad's mk3 Cortina 2000 GXL, Some sort of dark brown metallic colour. Needless to say that got pranged and we replaced it with an escort estate off my Uncle. My First Car by Adrian Southgate, on Flickr I acquired that as my first car in 1978 and kept if for quite a few years, quite often took it out without a qualified driver until I got caught... Never again. That has long since been recycled into a datsun or baked bean tin but the memory lives on with the only photo I have... That car saw many 'firsts'

I don't think i've been in a projectless situation since the late 80's, nearly always worked on them at home, fettling in the garage and building in the driveway. Now more than ever I seem to have projects left right and centre, time has come to rent a unit and get some serious building done just to clear the decks for the new ones that are on the way... and they will be on the way. I currently have four Duttons, two projects and two driveable however as they are kits then they are never fully finished, there's always something that needs doing. With the awful wet weather last year things have fallen behind so definitely time to get some 'inside space' and a heater and pull my finger out.

There was a Dutton Sierra log book (old style) listed as memorabilia, Irish plate so I checked and it had been scrapped. Does this turn it from a car reg doc into just a bit of paper? Think he started at £99.... bloody expensive bit of old A4 that.

On a recent trip to Almeria Airport these have been left in the airport carpark. Volvo looks to have been there longest, 2009 according to the label in the window. Registration number: M633 EPV ✗ Untaxed Tax due: 01 April 2010 ✗ No MOT Expired: 08 July 2010 IMAG0392 by Adrian Southgate, on Flickr IMAG0390 by Adrian Southgate, on Flickr Seat seems to have been forgotten about the same time. IMAG0389 by Adrian Southgate, on Flickr IMAG0388 by Adrian Southgate, on Flickr Honda is a bit more recent but not moved in a while. IMAG0386 by Adrian Southgate, on Flickr And a much newer seat, not been there as long but definitely 'showing signs' IMAG0395 by Adrian Southgate, on Flickr These are all in the lower car park too, less than 60 seconds walk from the terminal building. I'd hate to see the bill for parking that Volvo.
