RUSTYPUP

Thanks mate. It is a hoot! But a bit scary.

Its a Leyland V8. Possibly a P78. Ugly as sin but rarer than a rare thing. Was for sale too

For use of tools today. My tie rod for lacating the front axle was falling off Sold a kidney to fund buying a stainless bolt from the stainless man, then bolted it back on. Result

Nice pics and a great day out To all you people that didn't come because of the forecast.................. check out the blue sky in those pictures. Lovely

That has to be quote of the day

I would have Shakira on my bonnet

Found this on there too Twice

Found this on there too

It is the same XE as last time. Just with new/second hand oil pump and cleaned up. It's a little inconvenient to have to repair it, but that engine was a nail anyway. Just looking at my options now. Chuck in a cut out XE, or build a proper one?? Just a question of what turns up and how much £££$$$£££$

Yup

Joined the M2 yeterday lunchtime and lost all power. Thought it might be an electrical problem. Noticed that the motor didn't sound right as it slowed though. Opened the bonnet to be greeted by the belts and crank pulley sitting on the front crossmember. Arse. Many a bent valve I should imagine. Just managed to get it on my mates recovery truck without scraping the deck. So..... I'm back to using my old truck while I sort out another engine or finish welding up the girlfriend's 1600E (see resto thread if interested)

Not seen one like yours, but my workshop has a ZF outside it that a mate of mine is slowly restoring

That is an excellent idea.

Deffo looks like the white metal part of a big end/main to me. Not attracted to magnet as most of it (the steel part is still round the crank

I like No. 7, but would rather see Union Jacks in the corners like No.4

Surely not!! I've not heard that one

Ian, I heard that the double copped bus got unchopped as it was a rare one!! Do you know if thats right??

FWD!

Stella? Isn't that some new fangled European lager muck?? Surely English Ales would be more appropriate?

Bugger! Welcome to the 'my car beats me up club'!! http://www.oldskoolford.co.uk/phpBB2/vi ... hlight=eye

Yes mate, off my green one. The plastic bits all still there. Just need the stainless bit. My lifes just not the same without it

Just been to put something in my boot and noticed its gone. It's not big enough to weigh in so I guess it just fell off on the way to work
