Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / An In-Expensive MKIV FOR SALE !!

« on: September 14, 2008, 20:20:05 »

Hello all,
      Well as it turns out, I now sort of have to sell my AC, I have sent pics to some of you but do to a business financing opportunity I have and the fact I can purchase a less expense car (non AC), I am really willing to let my car go pretty cheap, much less than I paid.  Before I go eBay and deal with the aggravation, I will let the members here have first shot.
   
   I will take 57,000 USD  OR  32,000 Sterling (with VAT / tax) I believe it comes out to around 41k Sterling TOTAL, I will assist with shipping but you need to pay for that.
   
   Well, who wants it !!  A REAL beauty
   
   Thanks & Regards,

Hello all,
      At some point in the next 6 mos, I am going to have to reluctantly sell my beloved MKIV, is spring the best time ?  I would like to avoid eBay, but any other succesful methods?  I want to find  someone that knows what they are getting, plus with the extra's and so forth with my car (2 engines), all original documentation and handwritten and type communication with Brian Angliss, I want this to go smooth.
   
   Any advice appreciated.

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / spinner removal

« on: December 17, 2006, 23:37:34 »

hello all,
      well took a few whacks with the hammer and the wing did not budge, on the passenger side do I remove clockwise?  (right), basically the same direction as the wheel would spin??  Am I missing something or are the spinners just a pain in the axx to get off?
   
   any advice is appreciated here, I never removed one before.

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / recommendation on a jack / tire removal

« on: December 13, 2006, 14:27:57 »

Hello all,
     Since it looks like I will have to take off the wheel, I have two questions,  1.) I have never removed a wheel with a knockoff wheel (I have spinners with wire), is their a procedure I can follow?
   
   Also, any recommendations on a hydrolic jack that is nice to use on the MKIV?
   
   Thanks,

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / OK, help with the MKIV battery puzzle

« on: December 10, 2006, 23:01:13 »

Hello all,
      Before I swear up a storm and realize there was a simple way, can somone offer advice on  how to remove the battery from my MKIV ?  It looks puzzling and like their must be an easy way.
   
   I need to remove the battery because, I'm almost positive is is dead and also, I was going to add water to it, well guess what, the cover fell into the wheel well somewhere ( I now call it the black hole), so now that the battery is missing a covert and the fact that is was pretty dry for who knows how long, I might as well just replace the battery.
   
   Thanks for the help in advance..

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / MKIV question, help, advice..Rick??

« on: October 08, 2006, 16:43:30 »

Hello all,
      I have been driving the car and I think I have now evaluated it, so far, pretty good. One thing though that concerns me.
   
   Symptom:  If I take a slow left turn, it seems like I hear a knocking develop from the driver rear, but it is weird, it feels and sounds like the tire rubbing on the fender, but this would be impossible, wouldn't it??  It is like a rubbery sound / feel, not metal on metal.  Almost like on an old car when  a shock would break.
   
   Once I go straight or I am at speed, I don't hear or feel it, only on a slow turn.
   
   Any ideas, what to physically look for, or worse yet how to fix and get parts !!
   
   Thanks in advance,

Dear Admin,
     Separating by model by forum would be great, one folder (forum) for CRS, one for MKIV, one foe Superblower, etc..
   
   Please?

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / I hit the AC / autokraft Jackpot !!

« on: September 30, 2006, 02:31:57 »

Cool story,
     Today I receive a package from the seller of my MKIV,I open it to find a huge folder full of paper work, specifically:
   1.) Original Autokraft invoice / copy of MSO / dealer invoices
   2.) Order sheets from Frontier Ford (dealer who sold the car)
   3.) Typed letters between Brian Angliss and the car's former owner, covering everything form the car's configuration to the former owner discussing gas guzzler taxes with Brian
   4.) 5 years worth of Christmas cards !! from Brian, signed, one has  a cool Hawker Hurricane on it (WWII aircraft, which I'm also into)
   5.) Notes scribbled on Autokraft stationary from Paul Downing
   6.) Original Autokraft color brochures
   7.) A cool diagram from AC on how to take off the airpump and re-configure the alternator / belts to do this
   8.) Misc. receipts for things like the wood shift knob and extra rear rims to fit the knockoffs..
   
   Anyway, just real cool stuff like going back in time, that must of been a fun time (would you agree Rick??)  I am so happy to have this documentation, I can't describe it...I love this car more and more every day.

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / MKIV wheel well & speedo question

« on: September 27, 2006, 20:49:14 »

Hello all,
       On my MKIV, on the driver side, the black rubber?? of the inside of the wheel well keeps drooping dpwn where you can see the rubber edge on the wheel arch.  I keep "plying" in back in by hand only for it to come loose again.  Anyone ever see this or know how or where to attach it better inside the wheel well??
   
   Any help or advice is greatly appreciated..
   
   Also, since I'm nit picking my car, the speedo below 55 jumps around all over, once over 55, it is steady as can be.  Are they manual cables where I can pull the cable and put graphite in there??
   
   Thanks as always,
