Seen one of these on the side of the Warrego hwy/DL way at Chuwar today, SPARES

sweet mate.

i shoulda rocked down..!

 

today let me start with this:

The Moke is a lesson in UNF thread 'captive' nuts....

none of my collection from wrecks over the years, work or fit

so, off i went to Coventry fasteners to get a collection of the more common sizes

seat mount bols

greased those babies up, and worked them in and out well, before fitting the seat

 

 

 

seatbelts fitted

just a few more i took over the day

 

plans this weekend while mrs is at work:

set the kids up with water, and snacks in front of Minecraft

blow out the fule line, dismantle the SU, thorough clean, rebuild, refit.

hope she runs better.

clean the point, rotor, cap, plugs.

check leads and coil, etc before buying anything new

tap in a thread in the engine for a temp sender

mount the temp gauge

didnt get a thing done on her today, as i sold the skyline, after a bit of tyre kicking, etc.

then drove to the people i owed money for the cars i have had, paid them out in full.

so now i can finally afford to more stuff on this with my future pays..!

plans to rego her sooner than later, now

 

also got a visit from a mate(fellow RC member, wont name so as not to spoil the surprise)

who fell in love with the moke, and now may have procured one for himself..!

We never know what your next car will be....most of the time its cool though ;-)

I'm keen to see this one stay around for a while (I'm a Mini fan from waaay back)

Went past again yesterday and the moke was gone, also good to see you have some decent seatbelts.

thanks DougE and Trev..!

 

it was too hot to do a thing so i watched the cricket today...

/sad...

anyone have a 1275 engine laying around?

 

wink wink

Don't quote me on it being fwd with the gearbox in the sump. But maybe datsun 12a ?

anyone have a 1275 engine laying around?

 

I'm not sure what its like up north, but my next door neighbor had to import a metro 1275 to get something half reasonable.

 

I've seen a fair few 4e turbo GT Starlet powered minis in Melbourne. Would be a serious rocket in something this light.

 

ah cool mate..

yeah starting see how expensive the 1275's are...

may be chasing my uncle's motor, if i can beg it out of him..

 

on the up side, i had Dave Hanson around for a RWC on the skyline to sell, and while he was here, he suggested a new set of points would fix the car running rough.

so i did, and it did..!

thing runs like a dream!

going for RWC on friday, hope to have her regoed on monday..!

 

TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!!!

 

lol

Cool mate, need to take me for a spin! lol.

 

I''ll have cash waiting to buy this..... (jokes)

Do you still have that german helmet from when you had the scooter ?

 

You wear the avaitor helmet and the passenger wears the german helmet.

 

Bane mask ?

looks pretty cool mate, had an old neighbour who had a bright yellow one he used to cut around to work. i actually have a 40mm sidedraft dellorto and gooseneck manifold at home, its my mates but its just been sitting round. was originaly run on a 1100cc. theres a bloke in west ipswich near the golf course that has heaps of minis he might be able to point u in the direction for the 1275

I''ll have cash waiting to buy this..... (jokes)

i claimed first dibs on the purchase a while ago dave!!!

hehehe
