Nominal Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 We don't all have a van to haul junk around. I got some taller 185 tires from pick apart fitted. Hyflys ftw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borgweiser Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Regarding front wheel dilemma and reading through the thread I may have some advice. MGB front discs should fit with a bit of matching of kingpins and the likes but not sure if it's a complete bolt over job. The two share a common ancestor. I used to work on a mad Wolseley 16/60 in Auckland for a customer, with a 260 Ford motor, the Y block having the right dimensions and of course the best sound the yanks have made to date. In that situation with the added weight and power, we cannibalised the discs and five stud hubs off the six cylinder as well as the tougher back axle. Loads of ratio options and the diff at least was a bolt in job. Loads more wheel options too. Ended up with Rover P5 Rostyles on it which suited it, the other less fun option is get an earlier Oxford drum and shoes, the later cars had an extra half inch of material hence weird shaped drums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkfarmer Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Hi I think I may have discussed your Traveller with you mid last year. My computer got zapped and I lost all email. You are doing a great job. I looked at this car three owners prior to you and the corrosion put me off! Particularly in the front crossmember and tailgate area. We should talk as you and I have similar projects on the go! Cheers Sparks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66gt Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Great work seeing an old wagon being restored and kept on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Thanks guys. @Sparkfarmer That looks like a bigger project than I'm doing. Changed the oil and filter yesterday. The bolt-on canister is a pain, made even worse by the lack of access with is stuck up above the engine crossmember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 This one was mine, Three on the tree had the Green one. Man I'm honestly surprised by how much rust there was in the car, it looked really good to me. Awesome work by the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nominal Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Pested the Toyota dealer today to pick up some parts for a broken-down Caldina. Old wagon > New wagon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
