Well looks like the rebuild guy in Altona doesn’t want to repair the pumps anymore. Reading bw the lines there seems to be more going on… So where to next??? There’s at least 3 pumps I know that need attention! 😱

Even worse if you car has suffered unseen rust during its life. If you use the factory jack you may discover another major problem when dealing with a simple flat tyre…. Only use the std jack when absolutely necessary, otherwise use a trolley jack

Personally I’d go for a much lighter unit thats more suitable to the newer gases. But the mounting & drive mechanisms would be the deciding factors

You have to line up the timing marks on the cams & compare the deg on the balancer to check for stretch. I think the max was about 10deg. Other than that check the guides for wear & any rattling on cold starts

Yellow dots should be aligned with the valve stem. Check out Tyroola: https://www.tyroola.com.au/tyre/215-70-r14/vic/?s=relevance&d=desc

Well they may handle like rubbish, or not grip in the wet (or dry), but ANYTHING is better than what was previously on the Fangio car. Priced well & the right size too! I was fully expecting them to say they weren’t available, despite their listing. Ok load & speed rating too. Time will tell...

Oh I forgot to add my own entry lol! 🏎️🚀♥️🇦🇺🏆🏆🏆

Sagged rear springs?

The 2124hp dyno pull by JKLHYD was also a highlight… 🚀

Biggest crowd I’ve ever seen there, dispelling the myth ICEs are dead! 🚀🏎️🏆

I’m liking some of these too…

Another option under consideration… 🏎️

Perhaps this is a better option? 🚀

Maybe all bronze??

Yeah it’s pretty radical & not likely to become reality. I’m quite aware the car has many rare options, so I’m reluctant to go changing anything that cannot be easily undone. Wheels can be changed but not body mods
