Title: 1925 AC rebuild Update
Post by: j9nno on January 10, 2018, 10:08:49

Hi Guys,

Happy New Year.

Been doing a bit since last posts so thought I'd start a new thread.

Car was stripped and body removed after letting in some new timber to keep braced.
Engine sent to local guy who and can't wait to get it running. It's had hardened exhaust valve seats fitted, modified Iveco valves, modified Nissan Micra pistons, new hardened tappet rollers. Carburetor tho old is not original but will do for now (it came fitted on car so is expected to work).
Rear brakes relined and rebuilt. New speedo cable. Speedo, 8 day clock and oil pressure gauges sourced. Ammeter away being rebuilt.
We are not restoring the paintwork and want the car to look old.
Latest challenge is sourcing a starter motor !

Will post some pictures once I work out how on this site.

I cannot see anything which you cannot fix over a long weekend  :)

But seriously, you use photobucket for hosting your images. If you have too many pictures under your photobucket account this kind of posting and inlining will not work anymore. You should use another place to store your pictures or even better use this forum to store your pictures. Just attach your pictures to your posts (see the "Attachments and other options" button below the white box for text insertion) .
