  1. What did they have new? One piece or two?
  2. Cool, if it's the original engine, rebuild it to stock, it might be worth more as an unmolested genuine original.
  3. Don't play down your skills, Dan, that's "O" for awesome!
  4. Just set the grill back a few inches and call it a mk1 Landy. Although, since it's a cheap copy, call it a Mitsi or Suzuki or Mahindra?
  5. Looking forward to seeing this on Grand Designs Chatham Islands.
  6. That's where they found the remains of Richard Pierce's plane.
  7. The 1622 has a 3 bearing crank, the 1800 had a 3 bearing crank (18GA prefix) until October 1964, when it was replaced by a 5 bearing crank (18GB prefix). Distributor advance curve and carb needles and/or springs will be different.
  8. Upgrade kits available, either slotted rotors for the original calipers, or Willwood calipers and vented rotors. Scimitar SE5/5a Brakes L1 Archives - Scimitar Parts The Salisbury axle looks like a Capri V6 item, so a rear disc conversion for a Capri might be an option? Or is it a Mk2 Jag? Might also be worth joining https://scimitarweb.co.uk/
  9. I'd be more concerned about the chassis, brakes, and diff handling more power than an Essex V6.
  10. https://ironhorsehobbies.co.nz/products/humbrol-ac5217-maskol-28ml-bottle
  11. Nice colour. Plenty of parts availability, can't see anything cracked from your pics. Replacing the old hoses should be easy. While you're waiting, check the electric fuel pump still works. Good luck!
  12. A bit of MDF and a jigsaw? Does look like the panel on mid-60s Chevs, but they're probably just as thin on the ground here.
