Mini Clubman.

Good ones of those go for silly money now

Absolutely. All old minis are stupid money now. We saw a dealer trying to sell a Mini van for 22k the other day. Not even very original, had horrible wide wheels, and a Metro engine. The vans were terrible to work on, because the grille was fixed, so very difficult engine bay access.

Now that's got some presence compared to the jelly mould.

They don’t look like that??
I just googled it as I’ve never seen one before, looks like it came straight out of Detroit!
Beautiful looking thing compared to today’s affordable motors

Sourced myself a new compressor to replace the standard one. It's ever so slightly beefier than stock. Not sure how / where I'm going to mount it yet mind.....

fired her up and let run to temp to check the rpm. Looks like the timing could be adjusted and the belts have come slack.

Went for a good run today, it got bored of tapping after a while so fingers crossed on that one!
Selected access height after switching off and the back dropped first then the front. I don't care unless i should be worried?

Which got wood worm and rusted.

Didn't rust but the wood went. He replaced it and wrote a book on how to do it. Don't think he ever published it though so I have the only cooy.

A good practical car the old Morris traveller

Had to be able to take all the band kit. Steering was very lively. Needed a bigger lump though.

Take it to a publisher

I know an old fella that did his old one by hand, probably gone now. Loads would enjoy that

Yes, this is all done by hand. Guess I could scan it.

RangeRoller dt · Aug 22, 2020

Drawings can be copied onto CAD, handwriting put into text, would be nice legacy for him.

Get some pressure on it then some heat by any way possible, heat gun if no gas, had to do that on my p38 and put the new ones in the freezer over night that thou or two they shrink by could make a difference getting new ones in. Oh and hit side of casting when hot and under pressure.
