    Automatic shifter recommendation

    If it is the broken screw that is still inside that housing I have had a bit of success with a reverse threaded screw extractor. WD40 the job a couple of days before starting. When the top of the broken screw is angled as much as that one, I start the hole with a diamond etcher in a Dremel. Keep...

    DODGY BAD RUST REPAIRS ON UTUBE

    If I'm serious about purchasing a used car from an unknown source I check the body work with a 10mm square of fridge magnet.

    Replacing battery mount area of fender skirt

    If your welding is anything like mine you'll need more than just that bit of scrap to practice on.

    Engine running weird

    I'd like to go back to what mrgmhale said earlier in the forum. I have just taken my tank out and removed the sender unit. The sender unit filter was full of compacted debris completely clogging the unit. The new filter (65-73.79-86 FUEL SENDER FILTER 3/8) cost $26.00 and just slips on to the...

    Good welding helmet

    As far as technique goes I have found that when I am stitch welding I look in from the side of the weld to sight the wire and the middle of the but weld. When I am seam welding I find I can see better if I am behind and over the gun and the puddle. I still keep my weld times short which also...

    Does the back of my instrument cluster (IC) look right?

    My experience has shown me that gauges can be fine wired, fragile and well above my pay grade. I took mine to a professional down the road and it didn't cost that much. Whatever you do, hope it works out for you. Vern

    Nice job Jeff and enlightened me about the installation. Been thinking of installing some myself but I'm now convinced.

    Thanks guys. The rewarding thing is I was able to make it a barn find all by myself.

    My story and I’m sticking to it

    AHHHH! Inspirational, Started off 10 years ago with a steering pump problem. Then I thought, 'while I'm here'. Never the less, still working on it but still removing parts instead of re-installing. At the moment building a fuel tank gimboling thingy to clean the inside of my tank. Young kids...

    Do I save it? 71 vert 351-4v ramair

    You guys are batting well above my average but if you have the time, the money and the resolve it just comes down to the question of satisfaction. Its not the destination but the journey that counts. Either way... the best of British. (Whatever that is!)

    Fabrice's 429CJ 71 project

    Hi Fabrice. I didn't find anything boring. Quite the opposite. Its good to see the form work behind the welding, the perserverance, application and dedication you are putting into everything you are doing. You are an example to the rest of us. I guess I can't speak for all of us so I suppose it...

    Rear ended, hit and run!!!

    Aaahhh nice. I was worried that the bumper was a bit low but your image is good. I was also toying with drilling holes in the bumper and putting reversing sensors in. Could put a camera housing inside at the same time and then re-crome the whole lot. Car parking spaces seem to be getting...

    Rear ended, hit and run!!!

    Maybe you could have an electrical boot release and stick a camera in the keyhole. Just brainstorming. Someone might come up with a better idea. I'm in a worse position,. I have a convertible.
