Casting quality looks a bit shit.

This is amazing. A one family owned survivor still in working order. How well does it hold a tune?

LVV cert for what is effectively a stock standard but very old car opens another big can of worms as discussed elsewhere.

Will it be possible to register this car for road use given that it may/will not have any real legal identity?

Loving the '50s diner vibe you've got going there Gordon. Where's the jukebox?

Almost sounds like a diesel engine compression ratio. As a comparison the spec sheet for my tractor says 16:1 compression.

Will be interesting to see how that stands up in court. Undoubtedly someone will take a test case, thereby setting a precedent for others to follow.

Your mate may well be right VS.

Guy I went to tech with had an early 80s Sigma on cutties. Used to swap back to stock springs for wof day. Reckoned first time he swapped the springs it took him all day but after he'd done it a few times he got down to under two hours.

Loud pipes save lives.

Not my thing but I can sure appreciate the time, thought, and skill that goes into creating these artworks.

I have some five and a quarter somewhere. No idea what's on them.

One of our cars has a cracked taillight lens cos wife backed into something. She took it to auto sparky cos it kept filling up with water and was corroding the bulb holder. Auto sparky drilled a small unobtrusive hole in the bottom of the lens to allow water to drain out. Many wofs later it still works fine.

When the children were younger / still at home we used to play count the cars you see still in use that are older than ours. Sometimes we'd get into double figures.

Circa twenty years ago I bought a car that was on farm rego. Pretty sure it just transferred in the normal way and I had to go to the post office to change the rego type so I could legally use it outside my local area.

Same as those on my '51 Vanguard then. Nice deep tone to them as I recall.

Pleased to see that your revised wiring diagram retains the original twin horns.

This one?

At first glance it looks like something BMC but I could easily be wrong.

One door closes and another opens. Kind of sad that you've moved on after putting so much of yourselves into that house but also a fresh beginning for you in the new location. Best of luck.

If it works.... That bastard double post is back.

If it works....

In my youth it was a widely held belief that plugging the welder into the range was a good idea because it ran off the strongest fuse in the house. None of us even thought that the sockets might be lower rated and/or fused separately.

Given that very tall gentlemen generally have rather large feet was accidentally mashing two pedals at the same time ever an issue for you? I found the pedals in a Fiat 850 Sport to be too small and close together for comfort. Is the X1/9 similarly handicapped?

Is it a cheezel?
