Teddy Posted April 24, 2016 Author Report Posted April 24, 2016 Like a blast from the past ^_^ Little blue beast lives on as my daily, end of this week she will have clicked over 10,000 kms ! Sir Med-Man saved my ass a few months ago discovering a hellish intermittent fault - wet weather, car would not start. Elec Fuel pump would not kick in. Any guesses ? lol. Wet weather I would have the front demister on with the blower fan on low. Turns out the variable fan speed resistor Red/White wire was mistaken for a solid earth. Sooo... everytime the fan was on 1, the car would not start. Car broke down in my driveway 5 odd times over the years.. once running, was ok, just not enough to start the wincam as my brother calls it. Apart from that *TOUCH WOOD* it's been a turn key reliable daily that sings to 8-thousand quite happily. I won't be selling her any time soon. Been collecting too many new bits. Maybe part of her will be up for sale though.. he he he :devil: #itneverends Quote
ke70dave Posted April 24, 2016 Report Posted April 24, 2016 Great to hear its still in use. certainly a blast from the past! Quote
LittleRedSpirit Posted April 25, 2016 Report Posted April 25, 2016 Is that a hint at an engine conversion or am I just wishful? Quote
Alex72 Posted November 8, 2016 Report Posted November 8, 2016 So I found this thread just a few days ago and read the whole thing and was blown away by the commitment and incredible build that has been done. And then, I happened to be in a part of town I've never really been to and look what I find. How incredible that I get to see this masterpiece after a just a few days of reading about it. Also sorry for the crappy iphone photos. 1 Quote

Medicine_Man Posted August 9, 2018 Report Posted August 9, 2018 It was stipped chemically with regular household paint stripper. Probably hit it with a 60 grit orbital sander disc after the paint was removed. Quote
Teddy Posted August 16, 2019 Author Report Posted August 16, 2019 HEY it's about time I sanded it back to metal and started this process all over again 😂 1 2 Quote
