It is possible that my parents still have one of those Electrolux paint sprayers somewhere. No idea where it came from and I have no memory of it ever being used.

Four litre petrol straight six does equal Barra though. Doesn't it?

Nothing wrong with retreads. Used to get three months out of retreaded cross plies on the front on my 1098 powered Clubman in the late 80's. Always bought new ones every third or fourth go round when they wouldn't retread my old casings anymore.

Although if the gap is too big the spark won't be able to jump that far. Several times one or another of our vehicles has been hard to start or running a bit rough because the plug gaps had grown bigger in service (very old plugs) and closing the gaps up to the correct spec has cured the problem, at least for a while.

Bon chance mes ami.

Real OS prints.

Yeah. They used to hunt in packs.

My ex wife worked for Kirby for a time in the early '90s. Unsure whether she actually managed to sell any.

An engineer (the kind who makes things) in the Mangakahia valley did this in the '80s. Was V8 powered but I forget whether it was a Windsor or a Cleveland. No idea where he is now or even if he's still alive.

One way to find out.

Take the back seat out and called it a commercial vehicle. Plenty of dealers did that in the mid 80's to enable their customers to dodge new car sales tax.

Jeremy?

Have you considered making them for sale?

Is there perhaps a number stamped into the chassis or body somewhere? Wild guess where to look for it without knowing what the car is.

I guess it's to give a large range of options for testing to discover the best possible setup.

So when painting a car it is recommended to mask the tag? Might removing and refitting it not look similarly dodgy?

One of the other dads at our children's school has, or at least had, a Triumph 3500 with a holley carb on it and he reckoned it hogged the juice something horrendous.

But that one's lwb. The cockys round here seem to like the shorties which makes quite a lot of sense really.

All the best guys. Keep yourselves safe and have fun. As always looking forward to reading of your exploits.

Yep. New Mini is bigger than a Maxi. Something not quite right there.

Place for discussion of this fine automobile.

Good to see another ADO16 fan on here @Doug Hill. They really are great little cars. Welcome aboard.

Possibly silly question so laugh if you will but how important is that plastic behind the door cards?

In Northland at present. Back in November. Keen for something.

Front leaves on my old work Hilux were curved the wrong way but it always got wofs. Perhaps it shouldn't have?
