Hey Dean, that grille looks bloody awful - how could you do such a thing??

I suggest you get rid of it ASAP!

Do you like them robot welds i peel off after about 3 coffees natural weave that way  ;D

[DN2168]

Well, it's off the road again :'(.

I went for a drive a few weeks ago & something has let go in the new motor. In the words of Rebel off Running on empty "She sounds like she has a wobble in the bottom end" :o. I have picked up another motor for it & am now in the process of sourcing bits & pieces to get it running again. Probably why I have been a bit quiet lately...sort of lost interest, even thought about selling the lot at one stage.

New year & new outlook & I want a holiday in Tassie  ;D.

Stay tuned,
                  Dean.

Hi All,
  Put the new motor into the car a couple of weeks ago, fired it up & noticed water pissing out of the front welsh plug. Out it came again ::). All of the welsh plugs have now been replaced!! Glad that I did as the ones behind the sideplate were paper thin.
  Hoping to get it back in on the weekend... going to call the old girl Christine...lol

[DN2168]

Hi John, yeah I did see the sonic manifolds. I wanted to try this idea after I made an similar adapter to fit 186 carby onto a twin manifold. Before the car shit itself it was working pretty good (after sorting jets).

[DN2168]

Pressie time.
What could it be??

[FCRB26]

blown alcahol injected grey motor ?

[DN2168]

Close.....

149 red...small block.
Bought it off gumtree yesterday. Was done up a few years ago and not fired up. Everything on it looks new so here's hoping ;D .

[FCRB26]

Might be time to build your own if these fail.

[DN2168]

The 186 for the taxi is going to be built here, if this one fails I will be going on an instant diet....2 stones lighter.

[DN2168]

Goodbye my little grey friend.
