And conveniently located for pickup en route to/from Hanmeet.

My only experience of this nature is with British four cylinders so may not be much use to you but I just used normal engine oil every time.

Left to rot too I bet, into the carpet next to the bed where they fell about 10 years ago.

I'm sure most of us know at least one person who lives alone and could easily be dead for several days before anyone noticed them missing.

School bus I've been using for the boy's soccer team.

Some years ago I found a four cylinder Ford manifold with a Holley carb on it lying in the grass behind one of my sheds. Looks like it's off a T or an A. Don't know enough about them to pick the differences. No idea if it has any usable parts left on it but if it's any use to you you're welcome to have it.

^this. We've had so many graduates at work who've come to us with a full licence but can't actually drive.

Have you heard how he's getting on with it @DoBro Jesus?

Paint is better than underseal anyway

Would not a decent paint system then underseal be even better though?

A couple of those look pretty fucked. Rather more so than the car you have in fact. It would seem that you might just get away with it. Hope so.

Sorry, forgot about this. Hope it is still of some use. Hole diameter one and five eighths inches as near as I could measure it. Width of top leaf two and a half inches. Would need to clear some junk out of the way to get more detailed measurements of the springs.

A lot of vehicles also run a 20,000km or more service interval, although at work we still recommend 10k coz  no one ever checks their oil and they end up running out.

Diesel RAV we have at work does this. We almost invariably have to top it up between services. The check engine light often starts to flick on with about 2000 km to go till the next scheduled service.

Got a whole one here that I took out of my XC cos it was making bad noises. Can measure the hole size for you if that helps any.

Does diesel still work out less expensive if servicing costs are included in the calculations? Serious question. I've never owned anything with a diesel engine apart from one dodgy old tractor.

Man can never have too many spare parts.

What do you think of the super-shift? I borrowed one for a day back in the '80s and found it quite fun.

Timber is strong in compression.

I generally lay some timber on the ground to make ramps. Height and slope become infinitely adjustable.

Cinderella has gone to the ball. So many old cars out tonight and perfect weather too unlike last year when it pissed down all night. No decent pics cos night time.

That's a point. Not sure that any of the seven BMC cars I've owned over the years still had engine numbers.

Lol, it would take a real barry to notice that.

most workshops wouldn't have the equipment or know how

Is it worth approaching a heavy truck mechanic/workshop for assistance with this? 

Sweet. PM details please.

I'm sure she'd love it.
