Wow, Good job, I think.  $17,000 for an engine?  Is that from Moss or where?  That seems high to me.

Leave it be. He stripped off the chrome trim–that’s the expensiove and hard to duplicate stuff. What’s left is a piece of plywood that “needs refinishing.” Bidding currently at $68 with 2 hours to go.

So you’d get all done & you could sell it and recoup a quarter of your cash investment. Somewhere out there, there’s an economist who could use these figures to derive a model to, once and for all, compute “sentimental value.”

Greg I really like your spare tire cover. Did you get it made local or order it online?

Way to go paul

Somehow that picture made it into your photogallery….twice.
 

I linked the video on my Facebook. Thanks Ed for posting this. Love it

I’ve also seen them advertised for $40,000+.

Yeah, sounds like you’ll be doing jugs at some point. But meantime, if it doesn’t burn oil, I’d go ahead a run it. At least until i was ready to do the major surgery.And with a 1500 SP the way to go might be to just build a complete “spare” engine & get it ready for when the inevitable happens. Sounds like you’ve got access to some pretty sweet…[Read more]

Well, I’m at a loss then. Back to you, Paul!(Still, nice hats, you guys)

that is not the picture.It was suppose to be a shirt with the london roadster logo on it.

AWESOME video, thanks for posting

Peecan! I love it! Duct tape and WD40 rocks!

 Will, That’s a beautiful car and it’s every bit as rare as it is beautiful. We would love to see more pictures and hear more about it.

Thanks Ed, I have done the old oil-in-the-cylinder trick and the pressure went up about 30# in #1.  Curiously, it starts and runs great with no oil consumption.  But, I had a good feeling about these heads complete with rockers, valves, springs etc.  All ready to bolt on $40.   I figgered that if they weren’t right, then they would still be wort…[Read more]

The heads will work whether they’re the same or not (valves might be different?). But before I started “exploring” with the wrench, I’d try a little oil in the cylinder to see if I had a rings problem or a valve problem:Recheck cylinders with low compression readings by
injecting approximately 10cc of engine oil into the cylinder through the

Awwww! So cute!there ya go…Would’ve cropped out the white space but I’m at work, so…

That’s a keeper!

Beautiful car!
