I found the factory jack with the sticky uppy bit that fitted the orifice to be a fool of a thing. Never felt entirely safe using it. A trolley jack under the subframe is far superior.

I'm sure you've discovered the actual jacking points half way along the sills. Bit of a weird arse arrangement but it works.

Or a Rover V8 like the works rally cars.

Found this thread on another forum. https://forum.retro-rides.org/thread/218899/vehicles-run-veg-oil

Just watched your startup vid. Sounds good.

Should the one dodgy cell not give you the same low reading when paired with any other cell?

I guess there's a fetish for everything.

This isn't Gloriavale Tori.

Just buy it @peteretep. I can hide it somewhere until you're ready to come ride it home.

Didn't this particular example have a red block Holden six in it at one stage?

Very keen to see how @tortron's scoot handles this event. All the best and please keep yourselves safe.

You could always wind it out on the starting handle @yoeddynz.

Even if seat belts were a factory option and the car has the factory anchor points already in place? That makes no sense.

My EN1 Civic came from the factory with only four seat belts. I fitted a lap belt taken from the front bench of a Falcon in the centre seat position in the back of the Civic using the factory seat belt bolts. My wof guy never questioned the additional seat belt. Perhaps he should have? A few years later I fitted the same lap belt in the centre back seating position in my Wolseley 1300 but without factory anchor points (factory belts on two front seats only) and that was never questioned either. Would be very interested to know the actual rules are for this.

Is there still an economy advantage with a small diesel vehicle when ruc is taken into account or does it then come pretty close to a similarly sized petrol vehicle cost wise?

My son and I once drove from near Mosgiel to Balclutha in my coon, towing, with the reserve light on. Must have been running on fumes when we got there cos it took 85.7 litres to fill it up.

When the P76 first came out I thought they were huge and ugly. Now I rather like the look of them. Following your build thread with interest.

Is that John Deere green?

If the new garage is to be only a little bit longer and wider than the existing you might get away with just doing it and saying nothing. Call it repairs and maintenance.

Thank you @GregT. What you say makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately the boy ran out of patience shortly after I took the above pics. He's using it right now. He lit a small fire in it first just to melt/burn the bucket enough to force the blow pipes through then gave it another day before going balls out twin hair dryer fan forced coal fired can melting. It's working quite well but there is some erosion of the face of the fire chamber and around the blow pipes. I suggested to him that he might like to clean it out and repair the eroded areas with a very stiff sand/plaster mix. Is this likely to be helpful in extending the life of the thing or is it a waste of effort?

Lumberjack shirt and fishnets.

Saw this a while back and thought of you.

Cast in tubes to allow fan forced firing.

One week post pour. The plastic bucket is sacrificial formwork.

I thought that too.
