Without looking for electric, you could also look at small cars. Like mini’s,ford fiestas etc… their compressors are very light and work fine. I know my ex 2005 mjni cooper had airco and it worked fine. The diff is the time it takes before it is really cooling at max capacity. Takes a few...

Back in Paris, France, a million years ago, when I was 12 or 13, a friend showed me a french magazine called "Nitro" (say the equivalent of HotRod mag, less techy but more classy with excellent photography work) I was infected by the US car virus right away! These insane machines, colorful and...

Oh and cancel any plans for a respectable amount of weekends!

AAAAAAAh! man, I thought, I was really slow or you were super fast!!! :D So in a year from now I will be able to see if you were fast! :) " I fear that I am getting too old for this, haha!" They keep us young! Kinda :)

Haven’t seen a Grandé with a white vinyl top for a while! Looks very nice! Welcome from the northern Netherlands

Wait a second, not 3 weeks ago, you posted on my thread a pict of your build with no rear panel, no trunk floor like mine... How come I'm still more or less at that state and I see your car more or less finished? You worked night shifts? Have an army of helpers??? No matter your secret, the...

That’s some seriously solid trofee you got there! Beautiful 73!

Looking forward picts of the supercharged orange lady! Welcome from the northern Netherlands

Oh man, my worse nightmare!! Really hope you can fix it! While there could be frame or A-pilar damage, only some inspection will tell, our doors and their hinges are massive, they surely can absorb lots of energy and left the frame intact while it looks terrible. The picts shows more as if the...

Congrats Randy! I wonder how you know/kept track it’s been 1k. You add a dot on your car each new harness and count every time you wash it?

Let me add more confusion to the above statements: :) "Restoring a car almost always costs more than the car ends up being worth" yes and no. First it depends with what you start with. Then there is the most important part: How much time do you want to spend on it and what your skills are, and...

Superb!

How such car can be left to rot is beyond me… glad it found a home! Good luck with the restoration! Welcome from the northern Netherlands

Niiiice! Welcome from the northern Netherlands

@Vern Cook thx, I have a chair ( a classic Dutch school chair for young kids) but working on this trunk floor is about moving crawling, stand up etc... and me being a programmer not moving enough during the week, I pay the weekends !! :D Tiny little update I was planning to do much more this...

Another option if your vapor lock issues percist, is to install an electric fuel pump, a return line and a regulator. Where the regulator outlet is close to the carb inlet. Pump needs be just above the 14 psi, like 20. Ensuring a constant circuit of cool fuel. You could as well I think use the...

@t.kohlmeyer thx. Well, take your time. I'll see once I got the files what I could do. @Sheriff41 thx, tho I'm being more destructive than anything else atm! :) @tpj71mach I can return you the same compliments: WOW! :D Yeah drilling out these spot welds wasn't really much fun. My back did...

OMG, I see the guy who send the letter. A Mike Johnson like dude with his new Tesla on the driveway that he can barely afford ! You can play the game as your cover idea suggests, but being the weird guy in my street (you know, the guy making grinding noises every weekend, shaking up the...

Time for a little update Unlike in most of the world where summer has arrived fr ages, even with crazy high temps, seasons are here locked to October. rain, rain and low temps. That to say, that in a rare weekends when weather was okish(dry) I went enjoy my 73... well that too, isn't really...

It could be a collapsed line, but as they seams to be not that old and from a respectable brand. I would first remove the pads and check them. if corrosion has found its way on each side of them, they no longer move smoothly and do not return to the expected "floating" position. Also, what...
