Discuss here about Yoeddynz's little Imp project...

I thought that too.

One for the structural (and potentially other) engineers amongst us. My youngest has constructed a forge/foundry using a refractory cement consisting of a 50/50 mix of casting plaster and paving sand. We poured the thing on Monday evening. He is questioning how long he should allow it to cure before lighting a fire in it. I suggested 28 days as being the standard period for testing concrete samples. He's hoping to get away with a lot less. All advice gratefully accepted.

And a Fairlane front for extra style points. Very nice. -
Bluebear01's 1936 Austin 7 of Cheap Pre-War Fun!

I love the way you're using this car in the manner in which it was intended rather than putting it on display somewhere for people to point at and say "how quaint". -
any builders in chch looking for a cashie in the new year

Resource consent or building consent? Different things. -
Nah, mate. That'd ruin it. Prob go harder though. Jokes aside I hope you'll be happy with your new toy @Flash. I'd kind of like an old six banger one myself. Probably bugger all of those left cos so many prefer the V8.

Should be able to do this under emergency works and sort out the consents later. -
SR2’s 1947 Vauxhall “Rigamortice” Discussion thread.
igor replied to sr2's topic in Project Discussion
Following with interest. Agree 100% with strength before looks and/or originality in welded repairs. Especially where it will be all but invisible when finished. -
This being the important part. A competent structural engineer should be able to design and cert towbars and draw beams.

Can you get away with still running an old style declaration if you've since fully rebuilt the car?
-
This is exactly what happened with my son's car. No documentation at all their end. They just gave us the key. We took the car and did the change on line when we got home.
-
So how are we supposed to know whether the vehicle we are buying is stolen or not if the cops won't say?
-
Just put one of the indicators on when backing in the dark. Always worked for me on my Wolseley 1300.

How many fuel filters does it have? Neighbour's worker turned up at home one time (his boss was away) seeking assistance with a stalled tractor. Turned out it had two fuel filters, one of which was near new and had clearly been replaced recently. The other one hadn't been touched and was clogged to buggery.

Hey J5. Those tractors at your place look like they haven't moved since last time. -
Might have factory holes for seatbelts already in it. My '78 coon did.

He'd be even more horrified to learn what's going to be in it. -
^This. At least such was the case some years ago when I bought a Falcon that was on "farm" rego. Fairly sure it hasn't changed.

Did you make it to the show @Lord Gruntfuttock?

How'd the Cleveland like pulling 6k? Seems like a lot of revs for an 8.

Can't be many of us who don't have at least one of these stashed somewhere. Kind of keen to attempt at least part of the Central Otago rail trail on one. Be a bit of a mission but not impossible.
