Took plugs out today and had to use strong arm bar Wrong plugs were in it about half an inch too short, was told car was parked up as wasn't running right back in the early 80's then left after demise of owner.. Not surprised it didnt run well would be well down in power of which it doesn't have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borgweiser Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 Finally got off my arse and did something usefull, Pulled the head off the Humber, had to hang the head from the crane and use a huge hammer repeatedly to remove.. Found a couple of stuck valves and head and block so full of crap I turned the whole driveway rusty brown for days from power washing it out, half the weight now. Got sick of greasy stuff so painted the wheels and whire wooled the hubcaps and chrome, came up alright. Added some Headlamp eyebrows too just for some bling. Sorry bout shit photos, was dark and 3mp is so not cool anymore.. More Started sanding roof as the rust was really eating into it, sprayed black for a test was tossing up between white or black roof. Blacks so the go, rest stays as is. Just need whitewalls, Visor, warrant and sackage then ready for summer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borgweiser Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 After a load of work, time and two new owners.. It's come back, I enlisted the help of professionals to make the super complex rear lower guards. Pulled motor out for valve grind and clutch and now debating whether to OHV and 1725 it, kinda glad this thing has come back into my life- always regretted selling it. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
