The Bronze

It has an exhaust. A new radiator. A new thermostat. New LCAs. There's a new PS hose in my garage. And a spare water pump. Needs the Park lights looked at. Alignment. One day I will share the long and interesting story of the workshop I took it to. Today I'm just going to pick up some scaffolding so I can paint my house. Unlegal. But still convenient for moving things.

You might see someone around here pick up the thread or start their own...

I'm thinking about selling this. Had a wof. Reasons it might not get the next. Headlights aren't working. Don't know why. Suspect switch. RH rear outer door handle is jammed. These things went bung since last wof. Can't remember when that was. I suspect last Summer.

$23 as is where is.

This came back from the mechanics on Friday. It went in about a month before lockdown 1. I dropped off the rebuilt carb the last day before we shut down to level 4. He spent months tuning it between covid outbreaks, then another couple weeks sorting out the fuel pump problem. I drove it home. He didn't fix the fuel pump problem. It needs an exhaust. Has rust where water has been sitting. The cheap shitty chinese tonneau pools. CBF levels extreme.

Mine is down at Lyndale Motors getting sorted because i was having a mare. I got a guy off FB to send me some pics that kinda help. I can forward them to you.

I'm so confused right now. You're injecting it, with a custom set up using an assortment of Falcon parts?

I laser cut a few gaskets for the base of an adm. Shout out if you need one. Also a spare spacer or two but dunno how they'll work to the adapter.

I'm drunk. Ignore me.

What about we divide auckland into N/S/E/W and do small monthlys - all on the same night but different areas - and then every quarter we do a bigger Auckland meet where all 4 quarters unite. Like Voltron. But cooler. And no token pink one. Because fuck PC. And all the girl OSers left.

Have we thought about a new venue? Says the guy with no legal, running cars who only ever showed up to two events in his 10 odd years of OSness.

Yeah, where that linked one has acorn plate, his has a set of spark plugs in the fire wall. He's gone pretty hard on the accuracy.

Looked very similar but it had the cowls off so couldn't 100% confirm. In a way the radiator looked smaller, and the wheels were dished differently, quite true to the originals. He'd done an amazing job of hiding the discs in fake drums and I think he'd sourced original headlights and whatnot. He also had the distributor set up in the dash as per original and could manual advance or retard it with the adjacent lever. He has a couple of Morgans, one with an S&S engine, another with a hot rodded CX500 engine, a TR3 a couple of other things under tarps. Supreme Barry of the Finestkind.

Just googled XE Falcon guard to find a reference image for where the Alloy Head badges should go on the guards and my own images came up. It's a restoration inception. I made some shit the other day, but i tend to slap it on insta instead of trying to do imagehosting. @tinkerworkshop
