Hi Coo....should've saved myself soooooo much grief and money by doing myself in the first place!
Hi Pedrobedro...high 6 to you! It was very, very poor condition when I got it...proabably not salvageable as a resto and I'm afraid I can't do bog standard and I want to be sure that when I turn...
You will if you live under that mast!! Strange things happen in the Mendlesham Triangle!
I'm afraid that although I call myself a Suffolk boy......anything but Norfolk boy (:whistle:)........ I was born in Essex!
Hi. I paid a lot of money up front and ongoing (I know....MUG!!) for work to be done and for parts he was supposedly buying for the car....when I eventually came to my senses and took the car back, he hadn't been buying any parts, just spending the money and not working on my car and what he had...
Hi Bill,
Yes......and no! It is the all steel Traveller, no wood. 1959
See below!! Before and so far! The car was a 4 door and I have based in on the Ford 1950 'woodies' so it is a 2 door now and the frame still needs some work to take the wood.
Hi and thanks for the input. No real reason I guess, except that I didn't think of it!! There is room, so no need to retain the original size head (apart from taking 2 sockets under if I ever have to remove it again!!!!:whistle:). the only priority really is to make sure it does up tight and...
Hi Alec, no, it's not the sump drain, it's one of the sump retaining bolts and it's only 5/16 so I'll give it a try without drilling.....that would save me some worry!!!
Cheers
Thankyou!! I wont ask, but that is my biggest fear! I have to lay on my back under the car. i might be able to use a normal drill but may have to put the right angle attachment on it. that will make it even harder to be sure it is not cock-eyed.....or, as we say in Suffolk 'on the huh'.:D
I have 1 hole in the gearbox sump of my Rover V8 that the thread is US. To get someone in to helicoil it is expensive so I'm thinking of buying a set and doing it myself. :laughing:
Any suggestions or things to look out for when I'm doing it? I guess I can only get it wrong so many times before...
Just a quick intro. My name is Cha7z (the 7 is silent) and I'm a hot-rodder! Sounds like like an intro to AA! I'm building a 'phantom' woodie from a Morris Oxford Estate. Rover V8, Ford running gear etc. I had some work done on it and, I'm afraid, not done very well so I'm teaching myself to...
I'm a plonker:ashamed:, took my gun apart to see if a wire blockage was there, dropped the washers and don't know what order they go back in:ashamed:!! One of them is an insulated washer so i'm sure it makes a difference:laughing:!!
Picture attached (and the complete one is when i put the...
Thankyou for your responses. I don't think it is the 152 as I have been told this one is an older one that has been refurbished. I will try and get more info.
As it seems an unusual welder, I may be better to just leave it alone!

Hi...help please? I am a first time mig welder and don't have a lot to do (I'm restoring a car). I've been offered a refurbed Sureweld 150 for £200. I can't find any pictures or details anywhere. anyone help? Is it any good?
Regards
Charlie
