Beaver's '87 Gloria Wagon

[Beaver]

When for a evening drive and noticed it started getting quite smokey and smelt like oil. Got to @Geophys place and found this....oh no. Oil trail all the way up his drive and nothing on the dipstick....

Turns out the oil feed to the alternator (it's a diesel so has vacuum pump on the alt) had split and was squirting oil everywhere. Whipped that off and will get a new one made up and should be back on its way. Oil light never came on so I think I caught it just in time.....

New oil line made up and good to go!

Should stop the brake pedal going to the floor.....rebuilt master

 

[Beaver]

Tail tidy (removed dodgy towbar and fit number plate where it's meant to be meaning no need for stupid extra number plate light) and new plates (japanese remakes) Complete with cold diesel haze

Progress! Bit the bullet and pulled the windscreen (cracked and rust around the outside). Pretty crusty and a couple of pin holes but should come up OK with a good wire wheel and some welding.

Oh and @Nominal will love this one, ran over a screw (likely my own considering it only drives in and out of the garage) and put a hole in one of the new tyres. So sat on a spare for a few months before I did anything about it. Got a proper vulcanised repair thingy done to it. So progress, but ended up exactly where I started. Classic.

Found some hidden speed holes

Progress update for @Nominal

Car has moved 90 degrees. With the ute all sorted now and back on the road, time to start on this.

6 monthly update for @Nominal

No actual progress, but still runs and drives.

Spotted a leaky frost plug though, source of coolant on the floor. At least this one is accesable without pulling the front cover and taking belt off....
