Make it road legal and me and @chris r will help you bring it to nats cause we are GCs. Such Helpful. Much blue smoke.

Need new tires so stuck the old Humber 15"s on and test drove in the rain. Note to self: Needs wipers. Also chrome fell off around the windscreen. Not surprised as this stuff is terrible to get stuck on properly. Will re attempt. Tyres also now have air thanks to @Threeonthetree. Few other things to tidy up for a WOF check, but all and all much closer now.

signature is a bit of a poo. I think admin's can add more for you or something?

looks like @Threeonthetree and @chris r are on the case. Cheers anyways!

Finished under the car: (both sides it turns out, didn't photograph the other side) This is now underseal bitumix black to blend in with the rest of the crap. Found a hole in the sill, so did a quick repair of that too Cleaned up the clutch slave and slammed that back in. Need someone to come pump it pls (and the clutch) Note the years of 'character' and a reminder i need to put a split pin in. (the pic is also upside-down) At this point I brought another car and got some colour match paint and finished around the windscreen. Being cheap, I re-used the old seal and popped it back in. Not the most fun job The seal hides most of the repairs, but you can see the green at the bottom of the screen is a pretty good match. I also re-wired the fog lights as after a bit of multi-metering discovered the old switch is on the blink. I also repaired rust in a few other places, bottoms of guards, wheel arch inner etc. Phone went on the blink so didn't take photos. Next to do is rear wheel cylinder looks leaky, find a couple of tires, refit dash, try driving it. I Might have (30%) found a car that I quite want, so this car may be part of a swap arrangement. Motivation to finish it off this month, however gotta work round a pretty busy work schedule.

I am not frothing about tenting in the rain. However, fizzing at the bung for the rest!

^^ have spare stuffs. Whaddaya need?

@Carsnz123 should have 5 Datsuns on the road by then too. Much mean machinery at his 'olman's place.

Churpro - could be fun @chris r

New tyres fitted to the oldschool Suzuki. Newschool backup is running well enough to be the backup. (Can even kick-start it now thanks to Tumeke Lube Inc) [ask your mum etc]

If we're doing more than 60 I'll be playing catch-up all day. I have an oldschool bike. It's not fast. Am i better bringing a new-school bike?

More rust sorting. Had a look underneath and it looks pretty solid except for one bit: The photo is upside down cause i couldn't be arsed lying on my back. Anyways, hit it with a screwdriver and managed to fill a bucket with bits and bobs. Hit it with the cutting disc to go back to the hard stuff. A few bits of CAD required to patch. Firstly attached the side stays after cleaning everything out, zinc coating etc. Folded up these I then glued them in and forgot to take photos. Will do when I'm under it again. The top one sits inside the existing U upside down and the bigger one goes over the top of the whole lot. Also whipped out the clutch slave cylinder: Since it's been sitting for 10 years I suspect a bit of rust built up and as it was actuated the rough edges split the rubber. I have ordered an eBay kit for a few bucks which I'll fit with a hone etc. Did a WOF check on all the lights - fixed a couple with bulbs I had lying round. Importantly the grill light still works: Also through a radio in the dash which I forgot to take a pic of. There are some 6" size holes in the doors which need filling. Accepting donations of anything with a grill as I already have some terrible speakers without. I'm looking forward to BK at 110 mph. (Hawaiian chicken is all I eat from those fullas)

Settle down lads. I sure ain't gonna be doing more than a casual 70. I don't buy old cars for v-max runs. Will be keen to compare with the similar spec Humber though.

Done all the windscreen surrounds on 1.5 belts. I've actually had huge success with Ozito. My electric chainsaw has felled much many a large Totara tree and turned it into burning logs. They are quiet so don't alert people to what you are doing, and as long as you keep your blade sharp it's like a knife through butter. As a home gamer, Ozito suits most of my needs.

@RUNAMUCK - Myself and @chris r were considering buying something CHEAP locally - sight unseen - and adventuring to Nats. Sending each other links - I keep finding British crap and he keeps finding Honda Citys. Probs best we both just get a VN 3.8 for mangs TBH.

You know it.

The windscreen was already gone when I got the car, and the previous owner hadn't replaced it due to a couple of holes: To not damage anything further, I whipped out the dashboard : Spent a fair while vacuuming glass shards out of here. Nice easy access to find Lucas smoke. Cut out the rotten stuff and zinc coated the innards after this photo. Fashioned a sacrificial panel into place that came with the car also. Recommend spot weld drill bits. A++ Glued into place. I'm not as good as some of you other fullas, but it ain't going anywhere. Also followed advice from @azzurro I purchased a power file, which is well worth getting too. Bunnings has $60 Ozito ones and a three pack of belts is $1.60.

Discussion here for

Summer boat project: 1967 Wolseley 6/110. 3 Litre twin crab 6 with three on the floor and overdrive. Last driven 2006. Upon slotting it in the shed the following observations can be reported: The HT wire to the coil just sits inside the coil hole. Once you put that back in it works. Brakes (1 of?) are binding Clutch isn't working properly but the pool of what looks like either brake or clutch fluid underneath might explain that. Has a smashed windscreen and glass everywhere. Came with a replacement screen. Rust in the corners of the screen frame. Scatterings of rust everywhere. Welder will be busy.

Keen. Gives me enough time to fix stuffs.

Alfa 147.
