Did someone say Euclid?

Remember riding in these when I was a kid, best times ever,they were a popular truck here for roading project's and Dam's.

Where are they now?

i've heard cf bedfords are pretty lush...

^ This

Also my vote will alway's be for The VW transporter TD, the world has never seen such a good van A++

I did over 200 000 k's in one and only ever suffered a blown turbo seal, admittedly I was running 22psi..

Same van now over 600k and still looks factory fresh inside and it handles like a road car, unlike the Hiace I might add.

Heinkel !!!!!!!!!

A+++

^ Or soak in hot wated and surf, try and get as much of it out of the head then put a litre of diesel in the oil and try and run it through.. It's not looking good for you tho bro, i'd get a wanted ad up for a motor, as some good c*nt will have something better than that. I am guessing it is a smoker as well.. Imagine how blocked the oilway's are.

I'll be there, driving legally for once

Will have a suitably old vehicle with at least 90% of parts on it to turn up in...

Why america for a dizzy? Heaps around locally, I'm looking at a box of them here

Do this, get 2.2 Turbo version from a Tomcat and boost it up, easy conversion, the V8 conversion is a prick of a thing, trust me. I have done a couple for customer's, one still uncompleted after 6 years as rails, floor and transmission tunnel and boot floor need modification to make it work properly.

Cool car dude, big fan of the mighty B

Is pretty cheap when you think about all the hassle involved in getting them compressed/cut evenly etc, just do it

Oh yeah, those things.. usually tinkerbell green or similar, would probably look good on a S15 chassis. Will have a squiz tomorrow as I can combine wrecker visit with a meeting up that way = windensday

I shall be going tomorrow, what is a Lucino? Giz a pic and how mint a bumper are we talking??

Luxury Edition, my contribution

Are you sure you used the right fluid? Could just be wrong grade of fluid or incorrect level, as the fluid demand in reverse is much higher.

Reverse band is adjustable, will look at the books at work later on this avo and let you know the specs / procedure.

Holy shit. My comment in regards to a little detailing business is made ever more amazing simply by the photos being added. Jesus titty fucking Christ. That's a drain immediately outside the office area isn't it?

Do it, current groomers are useless round here

Roofchop, roofchop ROOF CHOP !!!!!!!!!!

Rad, I had a look at this place recently when setting up shop, well cool HQ. Shame about the mezzanine been ripped out, would so be liveable pad/hutt slut impregnatin facility if that was still there.

That be standard Beetle swing axle transmission.

Ken,

please tell me it's the old BMC factory, or Todd motors. That would be ace.

My industrial unit is packed to overflowing down here in seaview..

Top end lubrication taps, used for dropping oil down the ports and hopefully making it down to the guides..

About 6:1 compression on these old girls, so decompression not usually needed. Useful tho for seeing which cylinder isn't firing. Open each one in turn when running and watch the flames pop out

Shell bearings on that motor too, advanced for the day..

Could, but then another will die.. Have new rear guard and the main structure is sound, doorgaps sweet etc. Have spare lights, bumpers and chromebits etc. Also first option on a new rear panel if needed, ex germ- but would like to see how much would come out with a pull first. I think it looks worse than it is , even the bootlid survived unscathed

yeah dude went bush for a bit, needed a break from the car scene, tried to reform/ make new career. didn't work..

Now back buying strange VW's and Audi's and sick shit like figuring out what to put this Daimler V8 in.

Brought anything truly OS yet? Humber is waiting here for you.

Work a 1600/ save heaps of hassle, make same power.

Been there done the pinto thing, sad that a perfectly good Cortina/Sierra and a perfectly good escort die to make a car that handles horrid without mods for the extra weight, and makes not much more power for the effort involved.

I'd go with gaz's suggestion and go Ca18 and equivalent brake upgrade, sounds a good one

So, Turns out the parts car for my VW K-70 project is way better than the one I was restoring, 20 000 miles since new, yellow with mint blue interior. Even has the blue plastic on the kickplates from factory and drives like a new one.

The problem, the back bumper is pushed into the boot, along with the taillight's and the rear panel, hence no go since the 80's

What I need is someone who is good with the chassis puller, I think most of it will come out with the right equipment.

Problem is no one wants to do that part of the job but not the rest- or take me seriously.

Any GC's that have access / skills who want a good cash perk?? Or can anyone reccomend someone to talk to?

Will put a pic or two up tomorrow so you can all see the carnage.

now that is a find! So jealous I couldn't make this, I bet everyone would have been bored to death with my vintage car ramblings..

1912-21 Vulcan 20-25hp motor, about three litres, rare beast but they sold well here in NZ. There was even plans to open a factory for them here in NZ about 1908, A twin cam six was made as early as '26 and a prototype V8 was made around the same time.

Should look like this

Where the rest of it? I want that engine polished up and in my lounge

Rad photo's by the way

Keen, will try and operate/start something built pre 1970- but it may be two wheeled

Fuck history repeats.. I had same issue with 180B back in the oldschool, melted fusebox was result. wiring loom had been rubbing at the bulkhead and a relay had stuck (voltage regulator?) from memory. Blew my headlamp bulbs as well. I say follow your nose to the melted wires..

has anyone yanked the stereo out recently? probably some wiring atrocities behind dash

10 speed, Pm'd

R100 you got any background info on the bike??

Jake, keen to see CB250, you made project thred yet? Is it an old shape one?
