Borgweiser

Hard out, pour two litres of diesel in the engine. run it round the block a few times then dump oil and get good quality filter.. Should be sweet, also remove pressure relief valve and scrape all the gunk out and replace spring, if the old boys been neglecting oil changes there will def be a problem there.

otherwise your droppin the sump mate

Anyone know what the red turd is in the middle ? At first glance i thought it was an FJ holden but now i cant work it out. The car next to it is a early 60's capri consul. The Kombi vans could be worth some good money as even real rusty turds car fetch over 10K. There also looks to be a Fiat 600 in the bottom left corner.

Red turd is a '47 Studebaker, on the right is a Vauxhall Velox PAX, (from bottom left) VW typ2, Fiat 600, Austin A95 westminster, Hillman Minx, Humber Super Snipe, Desoto or plymouth?, Morris Oxford, Mercedes 190, Prince Skyline, In front of the Skyline I think is a Kaiser or Simca, to the right a Jowett Javelin- theres a Beetle in front, from top right, a Standard Vanguard six, Daimler Conquest, Hillman Husky and a Morris Major, Yellow car at top is a Hillman Super Snipe.

Keen as on the Conquest and have heard there is a Borgward Isabella kombi in there somewhere

Maxi's get bunnies

Love it, did my apprenticeship on these

Heat gun, then the bog just falls out or scrapes out

good when removing shallow bits or Escort strustural repairs. OS primus blowtorch is the best IMO

Edit: Main reasoning is that dust is a bitch..

That body must be the bargain of the century..

Good shit, lookin forward to seeing progress on this!

Best car on here, sell to me please.

Seriously, a great little car a well sorted one will carve up most rice rockets

Nude calendar with Rusty on the cover, will sell like hot cakes...

Skoda, no contest..

+1 for Lamborghini Miura

In green for me please

weld some fins on the block and head and chuck a giant fan on it.

Aircooling = win

K33n for pick a part, theres some random as shit up there at present..

In an ignition coil there are 2 windings. The LT winding runs between the + and - terminals. The HT winding runs between the HT connection and one of the other terminals. It's not hard to figure out that swapping the terminals will affect the HT voltage produced and so make it "wrong" even if it's only a little bit wrong. Part nos for coils (old lucas ones) also depend on whether they're + or - earth.

If coils were marked as "battery" and "points" there wouldn't be confusion.

Of course someone might think that the spark now travels in the wrong direction. The answer to that is to look at how wasted spark works.

Steve

Actually got it pretty right for once, infact most lucas coils are marked CB (contact breaker- and SW (Ign switch). A coil will work whatever way, but if you want it right it depends on the coil, older types ran thicker windings and also the addition of ballast resistors fucks everything- then you have to swap them round.

Just leave positive earth and isolate stereo from the body = win and working ammeters.

Also some ammeters will catch fire if you change polarity, even if you swap the leads. Usually happens during a long run. Smiths are good for this, just a point to be aware of.

Alternators are also on my list along with spoilovers, pintos, bright coloured bateries in engine bays, silicon leads, stainless wire wheels, 2K paintjobs and car club badges- list of things that ruin all pre 60's and most newer classics IMO

1938 Lancia Astura limousine

I see your 'supercars' but they are small change, for mere peasants..

Lancia Astura limousine

As given to Hitler by Mussolini and used in the 'pact of steel' tour,

Or one of the roadsters

Or i'd settle for a delahaye

Leave in fuel for a week then pull the steel bits clean from the rubber

works

honest

=The other thing to note is that their electrics are predominantly Lucas. So, be afraid. Be very afraid.

.

Hey man, Lucas is all sweet man, no need to spread anymore myths of lameness where their not due.

Praise the prince of darkness

By regulator I think you mean starter solenoid, if it's clicking the starter is the problen, which is common, pull it out and give it a clean up and check your brushes, if they're under 15mm replace them.

Or hit with hammer, that seems to work with escorts

K33N

^ Myth IMO, mostly down to poor maintenance and people not using coolant in the alloy head motors.

Tigress is trailer job totally, Lambretta not so much.

Giz pm when this is goin down and we can talk logisticz etc
