Stage 1 V8

Anybody able to suggest the UK monetary value of a good condition LT95 from a 110V8?

What is about the vehicle that you missed so much that you regretted selling it? I'm intrigued to know in what way it captured you.

I've pretty much had to pack up for the winter now. No point trying to spray paint in cold damp windy conditions and I don't have enough room at the moment inside the garage tent. However, I did manage to get the front wings and centre panel repaired and in sealer primer. There's a bit more to do to...

The badge appeared to be riveted in place but ... In fact, it was a simple matter of pushing 2 fixing posts on the badge out from the 2 mounting holes in the panel.

Considering what the originals make now, it might be better if they were riveted in place!

Ooh err!

Great to see you making the effort. Ill health is hard to push against. :) Thanks. Yes, things seem to get progressively harder each day, but I'm not in a race to finish; I just want to finish it! 😅 As long as I can keep moving forward, a day here, a day there, I'll get there. It is daunting when I...

I carried on with the bodywork today. First I wanted to test how best to afix the reinforcing I've decided to fit. I thought the easiest and hopefully best option was to bond with epoxy. I'd ordered some JB weld which should do the job nicely. There are no doubt a multitude of alternate adhesives I ...

Continued the repairs and and pre paint preparation to the front wings. I first sprayed the wings with epoxy primer. I use the HB body stuff, it's excellent! 4:1:1 Sprays nice, sticks, give a good layer that sands flat very easily. https://i.postimg.cc/vBQ85LFr/IMG-20210913-150014.jpg https://i.post...

Not much of interest to report. Between bouts of inclement weather, chronic pain, and low motivation levels, I have pressed on with the pre-painting prep to the front wings. https://i.postimg.cc/ry5gZ63y/IMG-20210906-155050.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/VLRg1qz3/IMG-20210906-155109.jpg https://i.postimg....

While waiting for a delivery of electrical bits n bobs to complete the wiring, I thought I'd best sort the fuel line to the new facet pump. Had a look under the inspection/access plates in the rear tub floor. Nothing surprising but earth connection to sender unit was poor, so add this to the wiring ...

I forgot I posted this how-to: viewtopic.php?p=14667#p14667

I've been struggling with the wiring. After connecting things back up and routing the loom where it's supposed to go, I had to replace the ignition switch and then found there was a short to ground somewhere. Well, after some rather tenacious fault tracing, I finally worked out that it was my speedo...

I was thinking Ashcroft Transmissions here in UK might do them but could only see rear shafts for 90/110s. I don't know if these are compatible, probably not, but might be worth contacting them for a steer in the right direction though. Then there's DDE where Bryan is busy making various parts for S...

Quick video update.

Brown is pretty important. Should be connected to the IND terminal on the alternator (IIRC). After a lot of digging, turns out the thin brown wire was for the battery sensing on earlier versions of the alternator. Mine should have Lucas 18ACR, which it probably is, which if I've understood correctl...
