With nurses, naturally.

Heater tap looks a lot like a Morris Minor part. Thermostat housing looks like typical BMC A- or B-series state of play.

AT least you are having fun, amirite?

Likely threads on a new compressor tank?

BSP?

Probably. What would be the alternative, NPT?

Just crank it in tight and hope for the best.

doesn't sound like you've had much luck with cars and jacks in the past  

Yeah, nah. Bought a lift.

Nah just 1 kick mate

Got to come down easier than go up.

I dropped the rear of my Lincoln twice, the diff head slipping off the jack pad. Once with no wheels, landed on the brake drums with no damage (lucky)

Second time it had wheels on but the jack went backwards (still lifted up) into the space where the gas tank lives. Made a pretty big dent/crack into the gas tank.

Sold the car after that!

Scarier than a speed singles night?

Just remember that gravity doesn't care if you get crushed.   Did something similar with the rear of a chevette years ago to drop the diff, nearly ended in tears.

thats a nice bit of kit. Love to see the thing up close. 

Is it a aero one or is that how they all looked back in the day ? 

@Nominal

I only read the blog link above. I guess there were several made like that. 

Man, that will be frustrating!

Man, 2 years since my last update. What a lazy sack.

Too much time fondling falcons.

Good to see some action though, bit of rust but not terminal.

We three will be there, with a wagon too.

There is an 'entry certification' section on the virm site, I thought that this defined the re-rego check too?

Oh and I'm trans, hope thats not a problem in this crowd. 

 

So long as your not a BW35 I expect it will be fine.

Had to lol at the no bulbs in the tail lights.

Must have been appropriated for another vehicle.

Heh, I'm in the passenger seat of the 32 in that pic.

Flash guy. I wired in a C-cell holder on my old one. No more battery issues, even with AA's wedged into the holder.
