Stage 1 V8

Fitted new pump today. Turned key, listened to it pumping the fuel up to the carbs, waited a few minutes to make sure it had gotten a decent amount of fuel through, pulled out the choke, and cranked; started first time!
Well, that's first problem out of the way.

Well, I've read through your entire thread for inspiration. I am about to embark on my own restoration journey. I bought Captainslow's Stage One in September this year and had it transported down to me in the SE corner of England. It had a complete spare LT95 gearbox with overdrive fitted in the bac...

Quick update. The aftermarket stage 1 V8 fuel pump fitted by PO less than 3 months ago, used only to get it started and on and off the transporter, is as dead as a door nail. Absolute junk! I've ordered an OEM replacement, so hope that fares a bit better. I have no idea why the world is so keen to b...

Well, I'm glad I asked. I was/am curious why so many threads just stopped. Great looking vehicles. Has given me a bit more inspiration to get mine sorted.

Mine (a new aftermarket replacement) was making an obvious and loud pumping noise but has gone silent. I'm wondering (before I pull it apart to investigate) if the pump ha...

Me too. I liked the look of the ribbed ones Pegasus had but the others I've seen look pretty cheap n nasty.

Have no account for that forum. Suggest you post pictures to this forum. I assume you're referring to my disco thread link in signature. That's there for anybody interested but is not in itself relevant to a stage 1 forum. I was intending to create a thread here for my stage 1 restoration but do no...

It's your standard utility vehicle; 2 front doors, rear door, hard top and sides. Galvanised chassis and I think, a replacement bulkhead. Engine was rebuilt by RPI in the late 90's

Hello all, It's been a while negotiating etc., but I have now taken on ownership of Captainslow's 1981 Stage One. I thought I'd best wait until I actually had the vehicle before introducing myself. I haven't formulated my restoration plan yet, but I intend to make as full a restoration as I can, alt...
