Cheers ignat' valuable info, could be my answer I'll keep you posted

James

Well I don't intend on running it like that chris! far too ugly! Ignatzcatz- I value stories like yours as it makes me make sure I sort my car! I've order a themostat, as it wasn't running one(had a restrictor ring put in when gasket was done) but this hasn't helped, so thought I try thermostat, and...

Well that's alright then, although I've taken off the front end to sort my cooling problem.

James

I was told, by a MOT tester, that the main reason for the new type cert's is that the advisorys get printed on the mot, so car dealers can't hide what the car needs, like it's got a full ticket guvn'r . but now you can see that things that may need replacing etc. so quite useful IMO

James

lol, mine has less room than yours inside! Trying to sort cooling problems at present as well as some yank modifications!
speak to you soon danny

James

Happy New Year,

I lowered the front of my motor today






Well actual I took my front end off as it is quick release! well 6 dzus and two bolts! but still looks kool

Blimey Steve, Glad your ok, did you get some help from old colleagues. Last week the house I live in had this polish burglar break in by smashing the kitchen door right in then my landlord got up and met him in the hallway and he slowly walked out! Absolutely nuts. They did catch him, hope yours get...

well funny enough I'd choose a blown small block chevy . Although I wouldn't mind a big block twin turbo

but I did choose and have it now

Would you modify Big Ben with a digital working, or fit a diesel engine to the Flying Scotsman?? Of course not. However, replacing the steam engines in Tower bridge was a good idea. Modify only for excellence in engineering, not for bodgery. not modified for excellence in engineering, out of date a...

:D thanks pgh. funny enough I had to drive it about 10 miles today, to the people who are fixing my inlet manifold gasket,and topping up the NOS bottle :roll: apart from the poo weather it wasnt to bad, it has a 3500 stall converter so when you drive it you have to maintain 3500rpm for it to engage ...

Well the alternator was buggered so fitted a replacement, then did the mot which passed :lol: since getting the car the starter sounded dry and unhealthy and finally gave up the ghost, so I sourced a HP one and it was delivered two days later(excellent service) I fitted it and it's perfect. I have h...

yes defo a move over im coming through picture!
I fitted new alternator tonight(old one broken) and ready'd it for it's mot tomorrow Also all insured for £321.18, valued at £15,000 which ain't bad with all mods declared. So tomorrow I'll have a blast on the street see what happens.
James

POP browns, do block huggers, not sure how much but worth a look

James

HI, No i haven't put it on the strip yet, but has been in the past, does a nine second 1/4 mile, its a 4/71 blower and yes the NOS is plumb in

James

Looks amazing James!!! It must be fun trying to see past that little turbo sticking out of the bonnet :D Last year there were about 6 series 11 travellers parked together at the national, next year yours should be there too it's a super charger 8) with twin holleys on top :wink: Took off alternator...

Hi Well I thought I'd start a thread on my new motor. It's a 1956 minor traveller with a blown 350 chevy engine, narrowed 9" full tube chassis, NOS, wheelie bars, it's totally mental to drive and will be back on the road before xmas, and will get to some shows next year. any how I'll let the pi...

How about the mx5 engine and box? No one has done it yet, but cant see why not... There are a few being built....... The engine is too long for the standard Minor engine bay though. I have seen the beardmore brothers fitted a minor shell to mx5 running gear, but that was a few years ago and nothing...

:o crikey, I don't normally get into this type of discussion, BUT for god sake he said 'JUST WONDERED' no need to shoot down his artistic licence. Everyone is entitled to there thoughts. I don't think it would destroy any of the cars character, FWD, 4x4, whatever. People should understand all he was...
