A few years ago at a show I saw a 30s style car with the Commer engine in it. That would be an interesting project!
yeah saw that one might end up with a spare engine might be a bit heavy for the hood though.
-
got the Robin hood to finish, got a s1 Dutton phaeton to rebuild, got a 1968 Commer TS3 to renovate, might have another 5 Commer lorries to dismantle for parts, so going to be a tad busy!!
ohh and mustn't forget the Wife's list !
Looking for a large tent to put the Commer in if anyone knows of anything.

when removing vinyl signage from vans we found the best thing was petrol and cheaper than most of the stuff you can buy that doesn't work anyway HTH.

So, looks like from 2040 you won't be able to buy a new petrol or diesel car in the uk. have to wonder what this might mean for registering kit cars.
best hurry up and get mine finished then

I thought the collapsable part was in the column itself ?? sierra wheel doesn't collapse?

Thats why I am fitting dead locks to rear doors and side loading door. not to bothered about the cab as even with the scumbag key they cant start it
yes they can they just connect a laptop to the diagnostic socket and bypass all the security, you can now buy a security box to fit around it to stop them.

thank you for your reply
when I have uploaded photos I've simply reduced there size with windows paint (if I can do it anyone can!!)
I do not use photo hosting sites because you may give away your copyright and allow your photos to be used without your knowledge by anyone for anything!
surely though if sites like retro ford/pistonheads (who dont have a membership fee) etc can do it then surely one of the biggest kitcar forums should. maybe it's time to use advertising to cover the cost?, I believe that's how the aforementioned do it and it's not intrusive.
also if you stopped people having gif's etc on their profile or whatever it's called the data they use could be used for photos I know which is more useful!
keep up the good work.

it's pant's that we can't upload photos directly most other sites you can!!!
although you can if you reduce their size!!

I think I'm right in saying that although side repeaters are necessary they dont have to be on the cycle wings?
I'm sure someone here will have the necessary knowledge you'll just have to wait until they return from church

find a hill and coast down with foot off the throttle then accelerate if you get loads of smoke then valve stem seals or oil control rings.
my old mini used to completely engulf the road before I rebuilt the engine,and it needed new valve stems as well as seals.

Better off with a cheap second hand mig welder.
due to shield gas getting expensive I've gone back to stick if you learn to stick weld you'll find everything else much easier.

nice job,

you should drill drainage holes in all the tubes at their lowest point and spraying waxoyl inside is a good idea IMHO
water will find its way in through rivets bolts and just about anywhere.

yep I'll be having a look at that when I get home at the end of the month. I saw the prices even the transit ones are an arm and a leg.
-
yeh couldn't remember how they operated and I'm 5000 miles away from mine at the mow!, think I'll have a look at making something when/if I ever get any time.
I've got 2 mt75's but only 1 switch that works and they seen to be as strong as egg shells!
