My Standard 215 FB sedan
My Standard 215 FB sedan
Hi,
I have this awesome old girl and she is thankfully pretty rust free. Just a little in some common areas, but overall she is a beauty that has sat in West Qld here for some years before I got her.
She is a 215 plate and the engine purrs.
So far everything seems to work on her but I had a stuck wheel cylinder, so doing all of them now.
I'm not sure if I will be keeping her though as I have a number of cars on the go and I scored this old girl as a part trade deal. Is it worth holding on to the old girl as she is a Standard? I see there were not that many made.

Very nice. I'd be holding on to it.
Re: My Standard 215 FB sedan
Yeah I'm really hoping to keep it for now its just the $$ with 3 projects lol
Ill give her a tidy up, finish brakes and see how she goes once all sorted, she seems to have a smoother, nicer sounding motor than my old FC i used to have. Just doing a carby clean out too and going to fit a fuel filter. Should it go between tank-pump or pump- carby?

I'd be putting the filter between the tank-pump if it was me, don't want any crap going through your pump
wanker????
I'd rather consider myself as an "owner operator"!!

Re: My Standard 215 FB sedan
thanks
I fitted it just before carby as had a spot for it there and in my last old 1940 chevy truck project I had it before the pump and it still kept clogging the needle/seat from crap in the old fuel lines. So this time put it just before carby.
