Sorry – auto correct phones are a pain at times – I think you get the drift.

The bleeding is always the hardest part – try it the normal way first and make sure you bench bleed the master cyl or you will be sorry. If you cannot make it work let me know and I can show you how to make a cheap pressure blessed that works great and you can do the job yourself. I tried to bleed for hours unfilled I went this route and 10…[Read more]

Master cylinder replacement can be tricky, depending on how the car is designed. Mine has a void beyond the pedal cluster but behind the firewall. I sawed an access hole to get at the push rod to adjust. I could have removed the gas tank but thought my way would be easier.The master cylinder itself should be pretty visible and accessible. Two…[Read more]

Gotta love a girl with a sense of humor about herself.  There is a solution to the dilemma:  repaint the car.  

If what you say is true, that’s going to clean up nice.I think you did well.Happy motoring.

Real nice.One of my co-workers travels to Sweden next month to take delivery of his. Will travel Europe then the factory ships it to the US.

nice find watch my thread (I’m ready). rockauto has almost all the brake parts. if your hoses are bad get stainless hoses you’ll get a much firmer pedal keep us posted on your progress

You may be suffering from the dread TOMAV syndrome.  (Too much advice.)   I like the lawnmower tank best because it has a small hose fitting on the BOTTOM and often a shutoff valve also.  Using the lawnmower tank, if you mount it above the carb, then you can run a piece of rubber hose to hook up the lawnmower tank DIRECTLY into the gas inlet on th…[Read more]

Gabor’s right.  It’ll work.  I’ve done it a few times.  If you have access to an old cement mixer, you can put the tank inside it, or tie it to the outside.  Secure it so that the outside of the tank doesn’t get all beat up.  Put gravel, (the type with sharp edges works best) in it and let it run.  It’ll make the tank extra clean inside.  You,…[Read more]

If I lived just a bit closer, I would give you $1200 and be glad to take your car for parts.  A bargain. Smile, be happy!

Paul is right on.  Both ride and handling will be improved.  

Hey guys, this is from my earlier post in this thread:

I thought that Jim did a great job on this video.  So, I sent it to my son who spent many years living in Hawaii.  His comments:  

Look at your other thread. Before starting this engine I’d do a few nice things for it, starting with a few drops of oil in the plug holes and a hand crank-over. 

Little bleach on the seats, followed by some armor-all.

I think the gaskets come with the mirrors? Anyway, x2 on the Moss ones. Not too expensive and they’re right. They work.If you decide you need something more conventional & modern-like, check back. There are cheapish motor cycle mirrors that can be mated to the windshield bracket with a single nut and a washer. Looks pukka & like 1/8 the price of…[Read more]

for a welder on that you might just walk into any local muffler shop. They weld alla time & supposed to be fume-tight. Probably a $30 job.

4 months! Wow. I hope you’ll tell us all about it.

You could look up: buggy. See also: Horse, and.Just saying. The box-with-spoke-wheels-and-rounded-fenders-look got invented before the automobile.
