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

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.

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.
