Hi Lou
Fantastic painting. Did you used to run with anti roll bars disconnected? It's got quite a lean on it.

Hi All
How is everyone out there in CAF world.
I managed to find some enthusiasm yesterday and managed to get the engine and box back in the car. Hopefully the plan is to try and do something every day even if it's only small.
Will keep you all updated.

I have a facet silver top as the lift pump to fill my swirl pot which is mounted in the football behind the drivers seat. Years ago I can mitsuba fuel pumps and found them a lot better.
Rsfruitbat

What facet fuel pump do you have Lauren?
I have had loads of prob!end as they don't like lifting fuel. They prefer to be gravity fed. I bought 2 of the same model and one works with my setup ad the other wont.

Hi Lauren
Did all the mods work?
Did you get there and back ok?

Rsfruitbat

Hi.
There was a small chance we might have gone but even that has disappeared now.
At least weather looks like it will be good.
Hope all goes well for those going.
Have fun Lauren

Hi both
If it doesn't work out for whatever reason can I throw my hat in the ring?
My problem would be collecting for a few months.

It's surprising knowing how notorious the suds are for rusting wing rails that someone on the continent isn't making replacements. We live in hope!

That's a real shame.
All the best for the repairs.

Resurrecting this thread as I can now get to the car again after having some work done to the garage. I'm reverting this back to a single carb 1350 engine. Would anyone have any pictures of the top of the engine with the air filter housing removed. Haynes ain't good at seeing where cables and mounti...

She lives again!!! After the last rally rally the car was parked up and that was it. Car was in my sons garage, battery went flat and with having a load of work done on the house she just got forgotten about.

Gluing doesn't work

What a nightmare. Fortnight ago I was told the wipers were making a funny noise by the good lady. After a bit of investigation discovered the NS plastic housing had sheared off.After few phone calls with lots of people saying it's a common problem I managed to locate one up North at a breakers. Assu...

Hi everyone Discovered I have knackered valve guides and valves on my old 8V. Anyone know where to get new valve guides / valves from?

Hi All Quick update. Had a bit of a nightmare last weekend.Fitted crank into the block. Came to put new pistons onto con rods and realised that the new pistons didn't have any circlip grooves.
