They aint as straight forward as you may think, depending on the model you may have to unsolder some joints to get it apart, and another wee trap in that the field windings for the motor are aluminium so dont damage the brass fused on terminals on the end when you unsolder brushes . I have seen peep...

Yes

Your into make it yourself territory now . Have you had the engine in the engine bay ? , also depends a bit on how much you can change stuff around to fit it in and still be legal . Pretty much anything to do with chassis, steering, suspension or brakes changed here in NZ requires an engineers inspe...

What ev😁, when it starts backing up in your esophagus ya gotta stop.🤢 Screenshot_20210410-090037.png . I feel like a big lion sauntering across the savana the next morning ......as I head to the dunny to shit out half a wildebeast.

The steaks 🐂🐂were nearly 40mm thick , in the reduced bin at supermarket, dont mind beef gettin on a bit but not chicken or pork ,still had two days to go ,didnt realise one was rib eye and the other porterhouse till I got to prepping them at home (garlic and herb salt on one side and back in the fri...

Another option could be to go for look alike throttle bodies , a edis system and megasquirt ecu ...jus thinkin.

Yeah Wayne , you gotta be thinking "can of worms" if you dont want nasty surprizes . I know that as our cars are appreciating classics money spent doing (or getting done ) quality repairs is a good investment ( take pix ) even tho having to find money for non essentials can be a pain in the arse, 😆 ...

Anyone got any 40s or 45s they are looking to get rid of?

Check out a set of motorcycle CV carbs , can be good value for money .....I guess it doesnt matter how good they are if you want traditional side suckers tho

Amazon sellers do baffle me with the postage costs, can only assume that they buy a pre paid lot cheaper or/and use cheaper couriers than royal mail. I buy a bit of stuff from China and I,m borderline suspicious as to what they are up to , I mean ,I bought 50 life size worms ( hey ! at least they a...

That felt is called a Bailey channel . I just took the glass right out to do mine , but I had become a bit of an expert at that 🙄 ,I dont think you have to remove it to do the job but it might be easier. Make sure the new channel is the correct length, my 2 channels were delivered in one piece so be...

I always figured that parking next to the most expensive vehicle was prudent as they were the least likely to bash their door into my car......but that only works if the carpark is busy. When Im out in crapi I dont park it out of sight. Old classic Fords ( or certain parts thereof )are a good prize ...

Looking good there Peter!
I see you have the good sense to park such a stunning Capri well away from the other cars in the car park.

There are quite a few capris (and mk1 escorts ) seen on period american tv and films ,often in the background ,or as just some random car ,not usually part of the plot .

reminds me of a similar thing with old girlfriends Vauxhall Viva .......after a spot of rally driving at Sandy point where I had occasion to run a bit wide and clout a fence post ( joint in one hand beer in the other :roll: :xd: ) ...old story lots of different shades of yellow , none the same as th...

I have never used anything like a carcoon . If your charging a battery would you not have to give some consideration to the build up of explosive gas in your carcoon , ( Im thinkin hindenburg ) . It aint that hard to hoik the battery and they are easier to check over whilst on the bench.

Yeah , fuckkit 🤬😆 , while I was googling to make sure I had the correct plug one of the posts was exactly the same , some dude got the v6 and the pinto mixed up and wound up giving the wrong advise , and I thought to myself " bit of a gaff there poindexter " ......and then went and did the same thin...
