I had a DR600 in my last GN, was hilarious on the clutch ups. Frame turns to spectacular licorice with any power or speed though

Stink! I just binge read the whole build. What a little ripper

They chew em pretty quickly if it has DABC and you leave it on. Bloody good car, I miss ours. Was like a cross between my 540i and a Merc E500, but it ran properly lol

They're pretty straight forward Don't forget to do a timing belt! Aisin TKT-021 is OEM, Amazon has best deals when I did it on ours. Took around 5 hr.

This is spot on. There's been the death of many CCI 2ts, from Barry doing a premix only

We put a drivepro unit in our 06 GS430, worked spot on for the 3 years we owned it

Talk to MPW. Typically you would pin them and not weld them.

Made the new line for the front brake once the young one did a sleep.

Finally got time to pull Glenn out of the storage unit and in to the new-to-me tiny garage Fitted him with a nice set of original handlebars to get rid of those shocking flatbars Looks like I'll have to make a new brake line as the original solid joiner has been shortened. So I guess I'll rebuild the front brakes while I'm at it

No propper rust in this one luckily A wee bit that I treated in the boot, just surface rust. Sills/floors/firewall etc are all happy as. Just needs a paint job at some stage, house paint was applied at some stage where the original paint has got too thin

Have to love the red, had a P6B V8 in the same colours a few years ago, bloody neat Different times eh? Our family car is a LWB LS460, nearly 2m longer! But I can still fit a fold up table, 3 picnic chairs and the picnic basket in the boot of the 1100

Yeah they're pretty small by modern standards. Feels like a limo compared to my Midget though

Try water and water wetter, should do it. But it's a fairly fine line between coolant being too thin and water not leaking. Otherwise hylomar blue FTW

Better add pics of the real boss entering his favorite car.

A year ago I sold my mk3 1300, and have been regretting it. But, house sale and less shed means less toys, right? Not if you're an idiot. So my wife showed me this wee gem on Marketplace (no FB for me, ironically to stop me buying stupid shit on marketplace) So we bought it a couple hours later. Fairly straight, wof/reg and honest car. Has a big block 1275 swap, and no mufflers. Perfect! Have been running around in it locally for a couple months and absolutely love it to bits. I found a roof rack in our shed, so slapped that on the top. Lovely! Plans are, new carpet. Lots of picnics.

Don't bother with a 9in drum swap, Get Safe-R-brakes to re-bond a performance lining on your current shoes, or disk conversion. Have run 9 in rears in a period spec Mk2 rally car and the biggest improvement made was with the linings, not the size of the drum. Ended up with disks anyway, rear shoes don't last long and they do a lot more work than people think.

Would you have a mk1 Morris bonnet badge and a interior light assembly

I can't sell it! It's far too coo Have a pile of NOS bits for when the restoration happens

Here's my little sentimental toy. Always wanted one, can never find a nice early one. Swapped a ZXR250C that I picked up super cheap for this Moved house, during that process I didn't have any space for it, panicked and listed on trademe. Got all emotional several days in and couldn't deal with selling it, so I pulled it off trademe and just made space happen! It's a tidy wee project, I threw a second hand engine in it to keep it running. Original motor had been massively penisfingered by some womble, is salvageable and is in process of rebuild.
