Looks like there is a 50/50% chance of my rustheap coming for a look. Will there be space for it? i'll let you drive it really slowly & stuff.

Really want it to but i'm having trouble finding a tow..

As far as i can tell, yes. Water leaks around one of the head bolts and some of the others spin but i know they need helicoils.

Video of it running appears to be a weird format that won't play on anything. While trying to convert it i appear to have deleted it. Can make new video soon.

Did i mention it that i think it should be lower? i can fit SOHCs version of this car under the chassis rails. Which are 24.5 inches off the ground (average, 24 front 25 rear)

Needs front wheel bearings, about $1,000USD spent on manking the diff' nice (high speed gears & reduce the disturbing noises) reline brakes, fit floor and probably a few other things i haven't listed. Why is the exhaust bends crappy? Haven't got a pipe bender at home, i can cut that section out and replace it later. And make a proper hanger, it's tied up with wire for a test drive in those pics.

By my deeds i honour him V8

Found air leaks, it lives. Milkshake oil, gears and brakes barely work but it lives. Handbrake doesn't do anything but then again the lining is 90 years old and crumbly.

i noticed that light passing through the atmosphere at an extreme angle becomes slightly polarized at this latitude. This allows people to see some of the polarizing in daylight. Not really a problem unless you wear polarized glasses a lot.

i hope to make it to this. If my awful jalopy will idle i might bring it. Don't know what i'll do with it but want to bring it.

i think it's supposed to read "wax and grease remover" which is like brake cleaner but safe for painting purposes.

Only runs at above half throttle. Single jet carb, not sure what's wrong with it.

Have you checked valve clearances?

My sisters friend reckons a place exists where you can get a new chassis laser cut.

Will this make it to burgerfuel?

In 100 years i'll buy yours.

i cut a hole and filed it square, i found a piece of tail light on the road and filed it square, glued it in the hole and it looked ok, never failed W.o.F. Never made my own lenses yet though.

Interesting, you have 2 now? i rode in a holden powered one today & suddenly think it'd be a good thing to own.

i have ground nolathane, made red dust and when it got hot i think it made red stringy stuff. It was a bush i got from the wreckers so it might not have been nolathane, pretty sure it was though.

Which are better? the spacers with the studs put in them or the spacers that slide over longer studs?

Some of it is.

Found pieces of 3 90 year old starters. Enough to make nearly one, would be enough for two but someone cut the bearing nose casting off one of them. Made new spinny parts from bits of tube and offcuts. Slightly better than rusted away to nothing parts. Old contact thing had copper bolt riveted to it, sheared off from over tightening. Old timers would have thought that 6 volt electrics were so bad after tightening things and they get worse. Made new one and soldered in a copper nail through the hole in the old bolt. Most of the brushes are still good. Can't be bothered uploading more pictures but this thing too ages to fix, like 5 days worth of work. Had to repour the front bearing after i accidentally melted it out while trying to free up the rusted parts. And made new insulation from shoe laces, which is what the old insulation looked like, with cord wrapped around it with beeswax to seal it.

bad video of starter without a bendix spring Would have a shot shell starter if money & practicality were no objects.

Would you make unbreakable axle shafts in exchange for money? (trying to decide if i should go hilux diff' or not)

i may have a spare seat but then again i might not be there, hoping to make it though.
