Greenie Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 right so long time no update. have taken the old girl off the road for now and have brought a new daily...(Peugeot 206gti) after failing the last wof i was still driving it but a couple a weeks ago the ignition has stopped working.. for some reason when the key is turned there is nothing happening at the starter motor,. can still roll start and still drives mint but i cant be bothered parking on hills everywhere go..so i took her off the road and decided to sort everything out and get wof in one hit,... and then most likely sell it to fund a new project that hopefully wont be such a lemon. so enjoy this photo as its the last one i got of it on the road... for now.

Greenie Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 so i havnt been on in a very long time, but thats pretty much only because i havnt done anything on the car until now, i finially figured out what was wrong with the ignition and found out how to fix it, so thats happening and should be done by tomorrow and then its just a matter of seeing if the old girl will run again,. i have also planned on making my exhaust a bit more appealing, ive decided to length it and have it bend up the the back of the bumper but mot got passed it, and also have it a little larger at the end like a funnel just because hahaha. so thats tomorrows plan, ill ad pics when its all done (discussion) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenie Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 tried to get her going today. the ignition is working again so was ticking over which was good but it still didn't start so i wasn't happy, and i'm stumped to as why. got the exhaust tip made up painted and on, looks good i think, just a simple tip the takes it out to the end of the bumper with a nice angel up too. i also made a trip to the hobby shop and got some paint, i took the boot lid badge off and have re painted it to the original colours so that should look good when its dry will add photos after work tomorrow after work discussion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenie Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 rightyo, been slack on updates but oh well, so she is still not running but im holding out to turn it over until the "neat it" is fully dry so i probably not do anymore work on her until the weekend,i got some little things done the other after night after work. > got my pick-a-part cup holder painted (black and gold splatter) and installed.> made my number 13 pool ball gear knob and screwed it on tight > finished my exhaust tip and put it on, looks good, just have to wait until i can hear it again. > also re installed my stereo after pulling out the head unit to get to the other wiring. > removed and repainted the boot badge to the original colours. well not really but black red and silver so closer to original than mate green haha. photos follow.

Greenie Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 rightyo, so she still isnt running, but today i was motivated enough to push the green bean out and give it a wash (even though it was close to raining) stuck my boot lid badge back on, looks mint haha, and thats all that happened today, haha so not a big update by any means. also took my mates 85 bluebird wagon out for a boost and a wash, then worked on the sounds for it this is a lil edit i didnt of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenie Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 Things have happened! In a strange turn of events I have ended up with the Austin back in my possession and seen as I've been on holiday for the last week and abit I've decided to put some.work into it. So for I have no photos but the engine needs attention and need to get things sorted for wof and excitingly there is a new colour scheme! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenie Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Okay some people arnt going to like the new colour scheme but oh well. Only took a day to do so not like I can't change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenie Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Things are changing again! No pics today but all the same, after going for a wof the other week I ended up with quite a list of things to fix. Thankfully now it's down to only a couple, it's just the tail lights and number plate lights that arnt working and I still need to make the breaks better, but other than that it's all ready. I'll also be changing the color again before nats as like everyone told me Im not as fond of the brown and cream as I first was, but this time I'm going to spend a little more time on it so it looks legit stay tuned! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenie Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 Alright a lot has happened in the last couple days, Ive only really started working on this again and made some fast progress. It's now changed colour for the third and final time, and I have to say I like primer a lot more than brown... I've fixed the breaks, got the engine running well again, cut out the rust, bashed and bogged the dints, so the only things left for wof are the tail lights and the exhaust leak in at the manifold. Hopefully I'll get the last two things done on Friday and take it for a wof 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenie Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 So the lights turned put to be an easier fix than I thought it would be, I took it to my girlfriends dad and he found that there was another inline fuse under the dash that had blown, and once we put a new one in it was all sorted. Now I'm just waiting for my mate to finish welding my headers up and the then I'll chuck those on and it should be all ready, I'm looking forward to driving it properly again, it's been really sluggish with the crack in the manifold, it should sounds and run a lot better once the headers are on. //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/42643-austin-owners-1975-austin-1300-discussion/page-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
