Hi Alex, I see someone spotted you on FB today

Looks like some tried to tag you, but you are not in this group

I am sure my wife once owned this Wolseley 1100, damaged L Rear and Different coloured boot lid.

Saw this likely looking pair in Maleny, QLD today.

Spotted this Mightyboy at the Cairns swapmeet and show, apparently running 12psi and goes hard or something

Go it home recently and thought it would be rude not to give it a start - only supplied a coil, stuck some fuel in and away it went! 

Raw Fiat 650 big-block power - it seems to be a sweet runner and will make a nice upgrade from the 500 that I already have.

Long time no update, its been more than a year without any progress on the body, however I am always on the lookout for parts - then this popped up, 

 And thanks to a couple of OS GC's this happened.

Thanks to @GuyWithAviators and @Threeonthetree  for picking, stripping, packing and sending to me.

There’s more that he hasn’t mentioned yet haha. Expanded his storage space to my parents backyard in Christchurch somehow. 

Here they are!

does Gav still own this ??

looking at it, i reckon it would be on par with Hoppers Escorts as longest time between tidying the body

Sorry I have no idea at all

And some more, It was very wet so didn't hang around.

Quickly threw together a seat cover - all done!

Sorry, not someone I know.

It has twin carbs on it too.  Whats that rego number area? Chch? its early yeah?

 

(Oh damn... barry alert. I've just asked about Rego numbers)

Yep we picked up a factory set of twin carbs ($25), ported the head, got the cam ground. Was a bit silly realy it had nothing until about 5000 rpm the  it would pull round to 7 K plus. 

I am from Ashburton so I guess Barry is correct about the number plate. - Can't remember the year

Sounds like a great project, my first car was an Imp and some years later my mate and I built this one for dirt track racing - then dumped it when finished after selling the very modified engine to another friend for his road car. Seems a waste now as it was a realy tidy one.

Unfortunately this is no longer around - but was all legal like this at one stage. Check CarJam for what it was as!

This is such a great project you have set yourself, your attitude seems to fit so well with the Old School way of thinking as well - you certainly came to the right place.

I also like the QCR shirt on the bloke at 14:20.

All the best for your work

And this thing,

'57 in Mapua

The other good one is to just start it in gear, go for a drive with your foot on the clutch - give the throttle a few sudden stabs - that always worked

 for my '71 corolla that had the same problem.
