Are you the guy with the Peerless that everyone been sending me pics of from Facebook?
Great original looking car! If we can help let me know, lots of people on here that know a few things about these old cars. Also we are trying to regenerate our official Facebook page so jump in and post some pics!
yep there is and has always been an official facebook page!
I'm no great fan of (anti) social media and have seen first hand it devastating effects on the younger generation BUT I guess its here to stay so Jon Nolan, previous registrar and instigator of this site and our facebook page has added me as admin.
I've tentatively started posting stuff but I don't want it to detract from the wealth of info that is on here or the TR Register reports I write.
I want this site and forum to be the main place for info as searching FB is a pain in the arse when you need to find out something IMHO. This is why I have commissioned a new, improved website to be built as Jon originally built this one back in the day with a free package and it now obsolete and we cant access/up date.
Te new site is only in a nut and bolt form at the moment and I am drip feeding payments as and when I have it and the FB page will be up front with all the contact details etc in due course.
So go search for us on facebook and give us a like remember it is "The Peerless and Warwick Owners Register"
hi nigel, that's who I am ;) a writer had done a little interview with me about my Peerless project. There's a lot of work to do and currently I'd like to start taking it apart. The most exciting thing will be to take off the bodywork, but I'm a bit scared about it. A fine weekend and greetings from near Berlin,
Make sure to take plenty of reference pictures before, during and after taking it apart. And you'll need some help if you want to lift the body off. Ideally one at each corner and another to check what's still attached to the chassis.
Not sure if others have said this but try and make a frame to support the body when you lift it off. Ideally the same as the chassis, which you won't see until you lift it off! You could make a front section and a back section by measuring the car/chassis before you lift and leave the middle section until you have the body sitting on these two sections and screw a few timbers between?
It really needs to be supported under the rear parcel shelf, rear wheel arches, dashboard and front arches.
You can screw 2x1 across the door apertures etc to brace it and remove the glass first! the roof will be very wobbly after this.
