SiC Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 What condition is the displacers in? Engine still may be worth something even full of water. I'd rip it out and bung it on eBay. Heads and the like can be re-machined. A-series lumps are getting rare now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't take long VID_20201114_150441190.mp4 No idea re the displacers, what would indicate if they were saveable or not? davehedgehog31, theshadow, Lacquer Peel and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The canister section is hidden in the subframe. You only see the top rubber bit from up top. Don't worry if the hose/hose crimps are buggered, they're easily changed.

big_al_granvia Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 At least you wont have to worry about siezed bolts or screws.. Just use a hammer and chisel around the metal (or rust) and the bits will come off... Dont know if you know cameron Gilmour, he is a a-series specialist might buy bits from you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wood trim on the body seems to be riveted on to the bodywork so is proving tricky to remove without damaging it. I can see us cutting the panels away around it, but only if they're worth saving Seats have been rescued and look saveable but the back seat is soaking wet.

Mr_Bo11ox Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 The displacers will most likely be OK if their outer metal 'cans' are not rotted through. As mentioned the hoses can be changed over easily enough. dome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
