Finally got the bloody thing running....

Had a lot of trouble getting the SU's right came so close to throwing them into the bin but got there in the end....

Now off for rust repairs and paint in the next few days .... Then when it gets back a few things to tidy up in the engine bay, attach the choke to the carbs and fix the hand brake

Then seats reupholstered with original trim salvaged from several other seats

Then hopefully go for a cruise

What am I missing along the top of the engine bay have heaps of screws going into nothing ....???????

there should be a strip of rubber along there mate

Thanks

The screws are holding down the shroud / vents to cover the plenum chamber. The screws look a bit but long maybe they are the original ones? Two of the screws usually have a brackets for holding wiring. A bit like the bracket to the left of your phot.

The rubber that Blacky mentioned sits up behind the screws. In the photo I can see empty holes where it is supposed to go.

I'll try and find a pic...

Can't find a pic but you need BL107A from Rares...You might want to double check that the rubber bonnet lacing also comes with the clips.

Stewart is onto it - I knew there was a rubber strip up there somewhere !!

Thanks guys I'll add it to the list!

Next dilemma - how do I get this off????

g

I don't have a key for it so will the shear bolts need drilling out or could a lock smith cut a new key? I rang a local locksmith and I was trying to explain my predicament but he wasn't up to speed on nasco accessories....

surely a lock smith could work it out?
love the sus,wrong motor but..lol
looking good

Looking Good,
Wonder if Nasco made a master key for gear locks? Let me know if a key from another gear lock would be any good to your lock smith and I can post you one.

I threw the bonnet lacing onto the wagon today - the photo may help D-MAN:



The Rares rubber is "2 holes" too long for a wagon, and needs to be trimmed about 3" each end. Be careful which way you clip it on - you can go back-to-front. The clips (like the one I'm holding) come with the rubber and get tapped into the cowl with a block of timber. The wagons use a screw each end to hold the two rubber tails - no screws in the Rares kits. The screws on the photo are stainless ones - the originals were mild steel with a flat head.

Thanks Harv

Haven't posted in a while.... car is turning out to be a nightmare, just one thing after another

Finally sent the car up to Jay who is doing the rust and paint



Some nasty surprises... the guy I bought it off was a panel beater and there where some real dodgey fixes, bog, tape, bog, putty and more bog.
Rust holes covered by bog or electrical tape or my favourite some type of putty the sprayed over

Sorry to see those dodgy repairs.
Mine was dodged up also.
Atleast you found out before painting it and spending too much on a bog fest.
