tortron Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 decks pretty high everyone was expecting me to load it on when i moved in january (place was set up where i could have driven it off a retaining wall directly onto the tray) considered building some ramps on rollers under the deck actually, but it would be some pretty rough angles to work with/bendy ramps edit* these would work http://www.trademe.co.nz/business-farming-industry/industrial/earthmoving-machinery/other/auction-487329248.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tortron Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Synopsis of rear suspension every bush collapsed All mounting/shackle pins rusted half through Shocks are surprisingly good and even have clean oil in them Leafsprings have some use in them yet Dif has been broken and welded back together (left hand side where it connects to the diff casing. I replaced the wheel bearing here when I got the car) the weld looks rough as but its on there straight enough. The original mounting pins for that side are awol and it looks like the smallest leak was dribbling out. Have put a 5/16" blanking grommet in to keep the dribble in. Otherwise pretty good. Diff is painted & all the usefull suspension parts are prepped. Will have to wait till my parcel arrives from the UK before shes on all four again however Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 $900 and i can have a set of extraxtors delivered to my door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 You could put a teeny tiny turbo on this instead. I spotted a perfect one small enough on a 3 cylinder mitsi shopping kart at work right now. The turbo was soooo tiny. I just wanted to take it home in a shoe box lined with an old towel and cuddle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tortron Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Did some further work today tapped the generator water gallery mount, then painted the fuel tank again, re fitted it with new stainless screws, then used new hardware to mount the boot trays. Little coach bolts. Looks good, but i dont recomend changing the rear ones from screws, they are exactly 1/2" too far away for my arm to reach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tortron Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 It stops my papers from blowing around will find its way onto this. Will set up the car like the original sharock supercharge kit (to keep up with those new peppy a series) Have most of the bits sorted, pulleys, flanges etc. The build of the car has changed since i first got it. Its now my interpretation of a coachbuilt (ala radford or whoever was making the black supercharged minis) or factory special edition. Going for period correct performance and comfort where ever possible. Things like Water pump cooled engine Engine porting light weight flywheel tidied wires high spec interior trim and sound deadening extra factory gauges wide wheels uprated suspension A tasteful touch of polished brass and alloy trying to avoid (or hide completely) any modern luxury. keep in mind only high end cars in the 50s had even a heater. So in post war england i have a super car 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tortron Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Yea, im excited to see it through. The hope is to get morrie boffins taking a second look and the average joe assuming its standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Does it have a sweet little brass tap to turn the heater circuit on? I dig that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Does it have a sweet little brass tap to turn the heater circuit on? I dig that. yup. Not sure if the brass plug in the back of the head will come out. 60 years and id say its become one. I see you can get 12v solinoid valves, pretty neat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 . First is a standard 100e. 2nd is fitted with twin carbs and four branch exhaust. Coupled with my port matching and clean up i think im going to be over the 20% increase in power. Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Have you started making the extractors yet? I live your twin carb setup, dose it have 4 exhaust ports or 2? Might need to do some of this if you take the motor apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I have the flanges made already. Has 4 exhaust ports. Major gains by replacing the log type original exhaust as there are two 90degree bends before tye downpipe. Tyere was a great write up on tye hamb about doing such mods to the 100e enginge that i took a few ideas away from. Have a copper head gasket so can open it up pretty kuch anytime and smooth the step out a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Dose it have a Ricardo cylinder head? flat over the piston and tappering away over the valves, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
