  1. Maybe consider a long lead time with a no refunds policy to ensure track hire is achieved.
  2. Get a 500ml of shitty ATF and just squirt some in, it's not an exact science. Maybe 50ml? Let it sit for a week or so with it in and then put some more in and do the same waiting, basically you want to give it time to get past the rust that's potentially sticking the rings to the bores and allow for at least a little lubrication when you try move it. The biggest thing is to not get impatient and try move it too early. However you do it or whatever you use, once you've got it moving again you'll want to drain the oil and re-fill with fresh stuff before you fire it up to run it.
  3. OK, sweet. As assumed. Crank is in the centre, the big pulley below the fan, a belt should run from the pulley on the crank to the fan pulley. The crank pulley should have a nut on it that you can fit a socket on and then wiggle gently. Keep in mind. Gently. Don't wail on the thing just try ease it around a little at a time after you've let penetrating oil/atf soak into the bores a while.
  4. Can you clarify exactly what car you have? If your crank is down by the wheel you miiiiiiiiight not have the Escort MkII Panelvan that I initially assumed and perhaps you've got some FWD thingamebob.
  5. Daaaaaaamn, wish I had moar money.
  6. Could also beef up the spoke size if necessary?
  7. Much better man. Good work.
  8. Wants to put a UZ in a Trump but thinks retrofitting a heater unit could be difficult. Mayte, should be a dawdle by comparison.
  9. It's neat. I'm keen to drive it once when you get it, Al. So sweet.
  10. This. See if you can put a ratchet drive or strongarm on the crank pulley and try get it to turn. If it's still got a fixed fan you may even be able to rotate it with that if it doesn't slip on the belts. Don't put a whole lot of pressure on it, just see if it moves easily. If it does then it's likely either the starter or the battery. I would be super surprised that a car left in a garage for only a year without starting wouldn't even spin.
  11. Depends on how the conversion has been done.
  12. Nightcaps Ohai I've never seen someone more excited seeing a sheep than Nick was...
  13. Wuz gud m8, you missed out brother. Will expect you next round though.
  14. Yeah, the bonnet pops up because it's scared of both WD40 and Duct Tape.
  15. Jealous of @Toddy415, the Mataura-Winton Rd is a sweet little jaunt. The IVC-Winton Rd is garbage.
  16. Escort vs. Gloria wagon? Cripes, we don't have that much time of day.
  17. I think the capabilities or the Avenger vs. the SLC was about the only reason you couldn't get close enough to pass. I'm sure you'd have run out of revs and exploded had you tried, hahah
  18. Considering the amount of smoke coming from the avenger last cruise, I would guess that the sender is about the only thing working correctly.
  19. It's Mataura mate, the locals will smell a foreigner and the network will arc up and he'll know exactly when you arrive and where you are... Also, bring two xAA batteries and an SD card and I'll try remember to bring you this camera I offered you ages ago.
