igor Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I think you're mad to consider putting that engine in either of the cars you have but I'd like to see a fully illustrated report if you do make it fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 After driving Andrews 850i it's all yes yes yes. Then seeing his fuel bill... But in a tiny car with no weight... wow. Oh that sound!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d.p.n.s Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Just put Bart's SC datto motor in it....... Have you considered Toyota motors like the 4k or something ? And on a side note these wagons are such an awesome shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 3sfe engine from a Toyota Townace provided its not to tall for the engine bay? Already in rwd configuration with a couple of different gearbox options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Townace boxes would have quite low 1st and 2nd ratios? But can look into. What ever it is I want it to look as standard as possible so to avoid need for cert. Datsun engines do this Welles they full onto stock mounts etc and just look old. If/when I cert this it's going to be for something way more modern.....v12... Or Saab engine. Hopefully later I'll know if the little boat anchor currently residing in the bay works or not.

igor Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Maybe change the diff if the gearbox is too low? A mate from school had a PB Velox with a Bedford truck box in that was super low geared. Wouldn't go over about 30 mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.wylde Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Starfire engine... Wait who said that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 3sfe would definitely not look stock but you get injection and the F economy head. Could use a borg warner gearbox from a s powered corona or similar to overcome the agricultural ratio problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepers Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 cheese on toast with salami i want details of this culinary delight. bread type? cheese type and most important what type of salami are you using in this concoction? my staple is avocado on vogels with a bit of salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil but im noting if not adventurous when it comes to things to have on toast.

yoeddynz Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Oh I do love avocado with cheese and bacon! Yes. I may well have to purchase some. Here is the bread and salami. I would usually use Vogels or Burgen but have recently discovered the delights of the in house country multi seed at New world (I dont shop at countdown or pac n save because I am middle class). This bread lends itself well to COT offering a larger surface area and nice texture. The Salami is my favourite- Verkerks lean peperoni- 92% meat and far less fat than normal salami offering great taste! (plus is healthier so I get to live longer and eat more) In action... (like almost live in action as i am eating this delight right now) I have also got a fondness for oven fries. These coupled with some saveloys are right up there in the allowable zone on the 'time it takes to cook vs time it takes to eat' scale. Back to that car.. I dont want to lose any of this patina.. Before starting and grinding I almost took the windscreen out. But there is no way the parished rubber will survive plus I like the moss. The screen is pretty scratched but will get a wof easy. So it stays for now. Once the car is insured it might possibly get hit by a stone sometime..ya never know eh. Then I can get a new screen and rubber. For now I will fill any gaps and accept it will most likely leak. Its British so actually it will leak. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepers Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 perfect. that lean pepperoni is the bomb. dont fall for any of the low fat stuff though, that's fucking yuck. the lean Italian is yum too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxted Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 awesome work with the floor repairs nice job with the channels. awesome thread but i find a lack of furry friends compared to all your other threads? does kevin not approve of station wagons? or not a fan of patina? keep up the good work, also another vote for avo on toast my slice of choice being burgen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Ha- Kevin spent pretty much the whole bloody day curled up on the bed - because raining. So no visit from him today. I am so going to get an avocado for my COT next time in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzurro Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 awesome stuff, perhaps you will have better luck at keeping all of the patina than me! fingers crossed i can get some rust cuts i have a very similar (but not as bad - fingers crossed) bit to do on mine but on the other side 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Didn't you do a major resto job ages back? Oh hang on.. your car... 70s Italian. I forgot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Have you not seen his new wagon, Alex? It's gloriously ugly but fucking sweet all at the same time. Check the link in his signature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Oh wow!!! Nah I didn't realise he bought another. Wicked! I must go discuss rust with him now. Note; Hannah would most likely chime in here and point out that his is actually a wagon, like her triumph where as mine is a hatchback because it doesnt have a full open door. Blah. But I do love wagons with drop down lower tailgates. It makes so much sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63Ragtop Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 nice work Mr Alex, at this rate you'll be pickin the mrs up at the airport in the "hackback" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Molasses is apparently good for getting rid of surface rust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
