  1. Better pic yeaterday in sun. But reposititioned after watching birds landing preferences...
  2. In poorly-made things out of scrap, knocked up a nectar feeder for the local birbs. Seems to work...
  3. Yeah man just get it going. Carbs are sweet to play with. Maybe electronic ignition but that's all I'd throw at it modernising-wise...
  4. Cool. Great idea putting a project thread up, really good way to keep track of progress and get advice/encouragement. Look fwd to seeing it come back to life...
  5. Ah maybe cos I'm on tank water it goes ok, had it tested for brewing and it's near as dammit distilled water quality...
  6. Oh interesting. I've done a few carbs in simple green and only ever had one go a little like that. I dilute and rinse off immediately though. Will investigate the SG purple. Didn't even know that was a thing...
  7. I've just used disposable plastic shot glasses to scoop out small amounts of paint/hardener in the past. Toss 'em when done. When house painting I've just bought a soup ladle from the $2 shop. Mainly cos I can't pour paint without making a mess, means the lid grooves stay clean etc...
  8. Saw this today at a car show. No idea what's in it tho...
  9. Yeah that's frustrating as hell. Mate had wooden dash pulled out of his Mk1 Jag in his garage, (effectively writing it off). They left pliers etc in car but no prints taken, even with a good idea who it was. Bring back horse thief punishment I say...
  10. How bout this one...? https://www.facebook.com/share/hPXjrLTapMHExDWA/?mibextid=kL3p88
  11. Yeah couple of Windsor plugs can be a bit awkward, can't remember which one, but one of mine is only accessible with the right combination of socket extension/universal joint attachments. Typically they're the plugs that never get changed or get cross-threaded by booger-fingered owners...
  12. ^ My Mini build brings all the Barrys to the yard, and they're like, worse sharns than yours. Damn right, they're worse than yours. I can teach you, but I have to charge...
  13. They're a strong tranny. My only failure was when the torque converter fins fell off and I lost drive (burnouts to blame prob). Still running same trans but I've put alloy sump and thick silicone gasket on after suffering leaks and have replaced the filter, lower pickup too with deeper sump). There were a few flakes in the sump but I've chosen to ignore them...
  14. How's the fluid. Checked level on dipstick with engine warm and in park? Colour? Burnt smell? [Edit] sorry just read properly. If fluid looks good I've got nothing...
