Unless everything is DIY.

This is where the passion comes in.. 😂

Okay, nevermind. I actually did find someone who does full RRC harnesses for LHD models, Autospark in the UK. I'll give them a call tomorrow! Those cars ARE money pits so...

Good morning everyone! Turned out I have a serious question: I only found RHD harnesses, mi eis obviously a LHD car. So to anyone who did harness replacements, how different are those two in your opinion? And how is routing of the two different...

Ok, today started well enough, getting everything out of the car for the caroet and soind deadening. Turned less good when I failed to remove the front prop shaft, no big deal so. The real downer was the indicator light so. Those don't work any...

Whem she goes back to the mechanic for the carbs, I'll ask him. Not urgent, I can juat seal it with that red silicon stuff, worked great last time. I did go a bit over board with the oil cooler so. Remember the motor sport shop I found? Yeah...

So, I slept over my tinkering ideas. And had a closer look at the car. Hence, a change of plans. A) I need a new oil cooler, the old one is leaking at the thermostat and one crimped in hose. And the connectors are impossible to remove from the...

Yeah, that's the conclusion I reached by now as well. Still a bit disappointed, but even with the way to lean SU, man, she pulls! 😊 Makes this whole snorkel thing a lot easier, and a lot cheaper as well, it reduces the costs for a well suites...

So, I do have news! The Zeniths are almost done, so I'll have to take them back. Which would be good news, IF I hadn't gotten permission from the secretary of finance to go for tge Edelbrock one. And IF I hadn't developed a liking for the...

Brimmed the tank and worked out my mpg to 23.6 Checked what the dash said for the tank full... 23.5 That's pretty close!!

Yeah, the market changed sine Covid, before a lot of people wanted to "overland", now, well, camping cars in general are in decline from ehat I hear. Maybe I find someone interested in good condition LT95 for some close to original restauration...

So, just to close this thread with a defenitive update: She will get new 4-2 exhaust manifolds (the old ones are gone), a Weber / Edelbrock carb, full heat shielding and sound deadening, all of that this year. Maybe even a roof top tent...

So, today, I looked at her. Following that, I send my technical inspector a message for a test appointment. Then I irdered some starter spray, those SUs are great, but way too lean for the new camshaft. The resulting cold start problems require...

That was yesterday's sunrise, one of many photos I took. I had to sleep in today! Edit: Image is too big... so after breakfast then...

So, picked her up yesterday, went to a expidition vehicle meet up with the mechanic and some friends and some others. I felt poor for a sec, between people having a private warehouse twice the size of our not small house next to there villa, for...

Didn't do anything with her today *yet*, might just be able to pick her up this afternoon so if everything works out on my end, the car is finishes with loaner SUs! Really looking forwars to it, as is, surprisingly, the whole family including my...

@Chalky, thanks for the feed-back! If everything goes well on my side, I should be able to pick the old lady up today with a set of loaner SUs! Long term, I do tend towards a weber now, less risk of going obsolete and overall more power, which is...

I did some digging and thinking, and I do tend towards the Weber, if the price is right. I need to talk this through with the mechanic so. From what I read oblone, and I welcome feedback from you folks, is that the Weber has less issues with...

Inclines is what I was worried about, besides an air box for a snorkel. So loaned SUs it is until I get, one day if the universe agrees, my Strombergs back

I'd also vote for SU's if you're below 200bhp approx. They give lovely progression especially when off road and throttle sensitivity is important. The Webers don't like steep inclines or declines as the float mechanisms can lead to flooding or...

Thing is, I have to return the SUs once my Strombergs are back one day. I have no problem with the Strombergs so, but given how long it might take to get them back, and that the price difference between tge rebuild and a new Weber is just shy of...

Hello again! It was a very long while since I last posted something. The very good reason is that since last November the old lady is in for a partial engine rebuilt, or rather a big service. Turned out the carbs, Strombergs, are worn out...
