Ghostchips

This would be awesome if it didn't make so much interference.

How is he using a laser capable of melting steel, on a reflective surface, and he's not even wearing glasses?

@ghostchips can you try that camera i gave you and see if it stops recording?

Ok, i report back that it works fine if you turn off the motion sensor.  Otherwise it takes bumps in the road or driving into the sun & doing a Uturn to get it to start recording again.

Diff' oil is sparkly.

So i put a camera in there.  Nothing much to see.

Can't believe they leave those on the street.

I dont know much about this topic, could I use one of those capacitors for subwoffers? I have a huge zener diode here 

Build that tiny voltage supply & use the huge subwoofer cap on the output supply.  It's what i've been going with something.

What's wrong with after market ignition?

Do you have tons of old cellphones or some supercap/ultracap's around?  Could make a voltage stabilizer thing.  I have a few shitty zener diodes but i don't like that method.

From the way the tach' drops, providing the video is in sync' with the audio', there's an electrical supply problem, possibly a short circuit.  Is it possible to wire an alligator clip from the battery straight to the coil & see if it's some kind of dead short like an immobilizer?

So i heard you think recycled plastic is crap?
I disagree.  I am an enthusiast of it now.

Notice how they all focus on phones.

What the ...  the things people used to make before you could buy a car you want.
"I have an 1100, a crashed princess, and I want a leyland sport coupe".

Phosphoric acid makes my skin go flaky after a few hours of scrubbing it on something.

I assembled a store bought kit, incorrectly.

They come back for repair?
People drop them or use them for carving?

Not if we (someone, kiwi probably) imports enough parts from unloved US spec car/wholeshell and rebuild it.

Bonus points it has asbestos brake linings still attached.

Found a cave today. This was at the back

 

That's a 1926-1926 model T diff, and i'm 99% sure it's still good as a donor for making a 2 speed diff.  It needs replaced tube, easy enough to drill out the rivets.

This is a classic example of a person who thinks he has hit pay dirt by importing a LHD Mazda.

This will sit here for years.

 

From the side it's not bad looking.  Good looking if you can't see the grill.  RX4 coupes were under-rated so long..  Looks like reporting the listing has got it pulled though.

Where did you get those grey overalls man? GPSC!

They're not mine, and that's not me in the picture but they're likely army surplus.
@SOHC where do i find overalls similar to those?

Someone i know said if i finish the cab' as a jailbar, or 41 pickup style, he'd consider either putting it back on it's chassis with a flathead or on a turbo ranger chassis.  Neither sounds bad, i kind of like the idea of flathead + air ride myself.

How many liters per cylinder was it?

Warkworth wreckers had one of these a week ago, as them if they still have it?

If you do the things that take time but don't need expensive-per-hour- labour to do, then you might be able to strip the engine bay on your own, and put all the panels back again, you probably know that much though.
Had pro's weld my gas tank.  Didn't cost much as i'd folded the metal myself.  Less than an hour labour charge and $20 consumables.
