I have a fetish for the narrow angle small block ford V8 which I used to play with from time to time.<br>
<br>
Why dont you see yhe dolly, we can work out a completed on the road price, and I will finish to your budget?? i will be looking for £1300 finished with MOT and new tyres??<br ...

I was picking up on your earlier thread Simon. I think people tend to look and talk about the purchase of items they do not fully understand, because someone has said that the item in question will make an engine rev better etc etc.<br>
<br>
Engine building is an art form. and you decide what the ...

Question.<br>
If you buy a damper which has not been supplied with your engine, how do you know that it has the correct out of balance to counteract the flywheel and internal reciprocating thrust??<br>

mid way between Rochdale, Bury and Blackburn. we decided on this area as a good central lancs venue, plus somewhere near the M6 for the lads in the far north west near the lakes??<br>
<br>
Don't worry, I have a foot pump for your mountain bike tyres Mr Pedestrian<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin ...

The warrington meet was held by the lads in the North west branch. Similarly the yorks crowd have a regular meeting in leeds / holmfirth area.<br>
<br>
dayle and I plus a lad called paul had an innaugral meeting in haslingdon for the lancs area, but that was as far as it went. I will try to ...

Magatsu. Did you get anywhere contacting Dayle Perry?? I have tried but with no success.<br>
<br>
Andy. at the risk of starting a breakaway splinter group, we have not had much success contacting the lancs rep. He has changed his details in the last Mag but we still aren't able to make contact.<br ...

Me thinks you need to come down to earth with a bump my boy.<br>
<br>
Sprints can be had, but with your budget you will be advised to steer clear. an eight hundered quid sprint will often be the equivalent of a £250 low rent model. I am not saying that bargain cars don't exist, but gone are the days ...

I tried telling the MOT man that one once when trying to get a patched floorpan through the test<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>

seriously. have you ever seen ...

Nothing stops rust. As my old fella said. You dig a bit of rock out of the ground, melt it down and roll it out. and from that day on it begins the process of turning back into that little piece of rock. You only slow rust down by keeping the oxygen out. weld through etc is all a gimmick. do your ...

I bought mine from a retired guy on a council estate. couldn't belive how clean he had kept it. His son had bought him a ...

Don't get lumbered.<br>
have a look at a few, then go along with a club member in the know. before parting with cash. don't forget that the dealer is selling a £500 car plus his mark up. offering him £700 will probably still be netting him £200 over what he should be selling it for.<br>

keep away from Oxy acetylene its out of the ark and totally unsuited to cars.<br>
A fella once said to me "oh but you can't weld rusty metal with mig welding" WHO WANTS TO WELD RUSTY METAL??<br>
<br>
As long as you cut out the rotten stuff, then carefully prepare the new steel to a close butt joint ...

save your £200 and use it to buy a welder. I taught myself. It doesn't take too long. Just practise on scrap steel for a couple of hours and read the instructions for the settings.<br>
<br>
People only struggle to weld when they are in a hurry or not thoroughly cleaning the metal to bare clean steel ...

Learn to weld young man.<br>
<br>
whether you find a good or bad example you will need this valuable skill soon anyway.<br>
<br>
Have you found a lock up yet?<br>
<br>
Also keep an eye on all of the local papers and the loot etc. you will find that old gimmers tend to use the local evening papers ...

Just out of interest. regarding silly money deals. Remember the sprint that sold at Buxton for £3300! The guy that bought it has a garage in Heywood near Rochdale. He advertised it the next week at £4295. I went to see it t'other day and it had sold. The guy buying apparently drove up from kent and ...
