What do you want it for?

Trail, road, track? 

A bit of everything? 

Many defining factors would dictate what's available to you. 

Pootling to the supermarket etc

Fix your fa50 

Sold it to the local hoodrat years ago.

He tried welding something and burned the garage down

Hi team 

Thinkin about a foray into real bikes.

Well 250cc max

Got no budget, ie no real $$ but need a wee project in my garage. 

What would you folks recommend?

what does it do there Anton?

I love this. If it was mine I would paint NZ army Clay colour and matt black some 'features' people will think you have invaded!

@Valianthad seatbelts thru the b pillar on his Anglia too

Much stronger than mounts in panel steel like my Anglia had

This van makes me happy.

Thanks for a cool thread. 

Thanks for sharing ur dads trip in the Angry Box.

Its great to see her doing what she loves..

Long drives. My best trip was to Marton from chch in her

Yeah a 3 and 4 jaw chuck

Some other bits and pieces

We do all our cars there. VTNZ northwood did not believe car was stock with drums on the front...

I didnt touch the brakes from when you test drove her and they were ok then

Ok.. time to make a long story short

Im no engineer, its no secret.

I have been working on upskilling in this area and have skills in some area

Recently I began teaching again and as such been hanging about the engineering workshop a bit picking up skills and getting in the way.

Anyway the old lathe (Boxford) I work on is being replaced with a bigger one at the end of the year.  (the kids want to use the shiny newer ones)

Anyway its coming to my place when it is 'decomissioned'

Pics to come

Plan is to clean her up at school and put her in my garage and make all the things

So it appears he has had it 90 min and already working on it

So i got given a mig welder yesterday 

Migstar 155 turbi combo

When you plug it in the fan goes

But when u pull the trigger the relay for wire feed clicks but no wire feeds.

When you take the cover off. The feeder isnt turning.

I pulled some wire thru and pulled the trigger, no arc either 

Any tips??

I had a toyota blizzard,   Think it was the same as this only with Manwell hubs and a 2.4L turbz deez

Great wee trucks

Hmmm I have recorded km/l in the surf

Might have to try some moreys and see

keep it agressive. this thing was not built to look soft.

It is the first thread I check on oldschool, infact often it is the only reason I visit the site recently

I recently bled the brakes in Anglia  but noticed the pedal is soft again.  

I checked the fluid levels and it may have dropped  1or2 mm

But when I pump the pedal I see tiny bubbles rising to the top of the master cylinder.  

Do i bother re- bleeding brakes or just replace master cylinder? 

Cheers

This thread is cool.  I hope you get satisfaction.  I actually looked at Gns on tardme after reading this thread

Did the exhaust.  Looks ok. 

Did the carb,  seems ok. 

Fuel lines seem ok,  but will look again tomorrow. 

Now it won't start. 

Grrrr

Thanks for the tips guys.  Will look again in the morning
