Wasted a load more time this afternoon sorting a way of pulling the front suspension to bits without removing from the vehicle . On first examination these supposedly rebuilt units are in a terrible state. IMG_20190516_151737503.jpg Serious spunkbubblery has been committed here, on removing the valv...

Here's how my small glass winkerers look. I originally had those sticky out amber lenses but they look wrong on something made before such things were invented. The rear lights look a bit close together but that's the way they came out the factory.

Just seen that horrible cheap 20/50 in the builders merchants, the stuff with a chequered flag on the otherwise white container. I'm sure it's made from used oil and has lumps in it, but the worst thing is that they want 19.99 for 5 litres of the lumpy piss. Having said that I use just about anythin...

There's plenty of info on how to wire LEDs and lots of high intensity ones; just use that breadboard stuff to put it onto. There's ready made ones from "CLASSIC DYNAMO & REGULATOR CONVERSIONS LTD but I reckon it's not worth the bother. I made something up for a vehicle with your system (Sun...

He took me to school to that meeting at 9 am when the classes were full in a 1985 transit van. The van was hand painted florescent yellow with purple wheels,nudge bar and some weird wannabe airbrush painting on it. He also had stereo up full tilt with I think the bay city rollers on. ( This was in ...

It must have been one of the earliest UK trucks built this way. The body is off a Transit which means the purists look down their noses a...

Just a bit of relief really. You fucked me right up with that V8 and I just want something with lots of cylinders before I become unable to count above 4.
