sharley17194 Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 Yeah its amazing how you fill space! it looks worse than it is, give it a week or two and it will be better organised. You have to create chaos to organise it....I think you need another storage unit! LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be worth dropping a note to this guy: http://forum.retro-rides.org/thread/189279/austin-1300-gt?page=11 From his first post on that thread, he was looking for one but that was back in late 2016. So no idea if he's still looking! Sounds a fair price for one if its in good nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharley17194 Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 No much to report on progress.  I finally took ownership of my F and its honestly not as bad as i expected. Fitted the black hood temp and it think it looks much nicer than the red. At some point the rear spoiler is going....once i find a replacement boot life.  I got my VDP in the unit too, had a good poke of the front corner and its not good news. Pics to follow. Had a poke of my mum Morris too and that now has a big hole too! Looks like my welder is going to get some serious abuse this year!  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only sat behind the wheel of mine once so far but it felt absurd: Wheel right against my legs and feeling like I'm sitting very high. sharley17194 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seating position is all wrong for me. My knees are round my ears and my head on the roof. Once I'm in its fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharley17194 Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 Todays update is on Project  Mondingo......I have most of the car stripped now for rust repair and paint, the amount of rust repair left is reducing considerably however there is still a way to go. However i did have a little bit of a disaster, i guess with all projects set backs are inevitable. I am waiting for alot of parts to arrive, however thankfully there is still alot i can be doing.  My self imposed end of July completion looks to be a long way off!  Juggling the day job, evening car work and youtube is starting to take its toll.  SiC and Shite Ron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharley17194 Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 Last night was a short video as i didn't get alot of time, generally around 2-3 hours 3 times a week. Eurocarparts finally delivered so Saturday will be clutch and steering rack day. Starting to enjoy these videos but really eager to get on with something else less modern.  Shite Ron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharley17194 Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 Saturdays video was too long so I have,split it into two. First part is clutch removal. I have to say I'm liking having a lift it makes jobs just a little bit easier. Gear was in reality a breeze to do. This is a major milestone as it marks the end of removing parts and the start of bolting things back together!!! The end is in sight.   Shite Ron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharley17194 Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 Part 2 of weekends clutch replacement is now live, the clutch swap was actually pretty straight forward and i was happy i took the decision as the slave cylinder was starting to leak.
