The paint is very good really everything considered, the doors shut perfectly so the coach work is still good it just needs engine gearbox ect refitting and fiddling and the roof sorting as the fabric roof is none existent the interior is pretty spotless too a v8 would be nice though to surprise a few folk but we'd modify everything to run off of standard mounts so everything can be taken back to standard as they're quite rare

The lady owner wondered why her landy locked up in the middle of the road so I investigated ...



Hmmm this might be why

That's one erm dead wheel bearing

If you ever have trouble getting a inner bearing race out here's a quick tip, run a line of weld all around the inside of the race. Don't miss!! Or you'll weld the race to the housing, this pulls the race towards the middle allowing it to slip more easily

Been checking over my rangie tonight as gotta get some stuff from paddocks tomorrow for the 90 so might aswell go shopping for the rangie too

As I was going over the engine bay I noticed a faint smell of gas from around the distributor for the gas system. Now I'm pretty up on mechanics but I've never worked on LPG stuff so basically what could it be, seals would be the obvious answer but I'm not sure what there is
Also the filler for the LPG system, I have a problem getting the nozzle to fit securely which ends up with me wiggling it about for 10 minutes getting it in an arquard position to make it fill. Not Ideal :') so is this adjustable ?

So anybody an LPG boffin ?

One of our mot testers is a rally driver and his new wheels arrived today

Not cheap either haha

He also brought this beauty for mot ( didn't take the wheels back with him )

Some cars take up less ramp space than others

I know we could have fit 2 on the ramp quite easily, plus the mot tester is 6'2 so that was interesting

I tell you what you know you can reverse when your reversing a 12 tonne trailer around a slalom between buildings in pitch darkness not being able to see the corners

Ayresy's towing services strike again

Rolled just down the road from me so me and the copper flipped it back over and we towed it back to mine instead of leaving it at the side of the road

Best bit was rounding the last corner his steering lock came on and he crashed again into a hedge !! :')
