[JoKer]

Nice! Real pronounced Center on those eh : yea have been on a wheel glut of late learning difference and similarities of Slots & Stuff

Big Single Slot VS twin slot Rostyles

[mikeystoy]

The two at the end were used on pintos. I was really looking for a set of those

Aiming for a 12 Month WoF : Booked in for the 2th of September

Just needed a bit of 'Focus' on the Bearing Leak and Tail-lights

Some play in Steering rack....

So do not need Excess car's at moment

Plan is to build a FAST Street car with the Bits & Spares I have out of what's left of my "Racecar"

so do not fear I am not leaving now will I be 'without' at least 1x working Avenger for long

[JoKer]

A couple of 1sts today 

First time with a child in the Back seat

First time over the New Road in the Avenger









Guess who didn't want to get out of the car when we got home 

[JoKer]

Front UJ was making noises, so some time on the Hoist was arranged

turned into one of those "while we're here" balloon type jobs hah

from the Front Diff pinion Seal, Trans checkup (pan off & screen replaced), Steering Rag Joint, Trans mount and Bushes, Front Bushes, Tie rod end (nut broke off replacing Rag joint)

that's just under the Car, on top are the main culprits for the seal degradation = Carb Dash-pot rebuild and Rocker cover seal replacement

the Stromberg "Dashpots" were emptying every couple of weeks, probably from sitting still for too long

the last 2x jobs are yet to be completed, so we drove to Feilding for the FRCC Meet & identified a couple other issues which I hop to rectify shortly

otherwise an alignment will do wonders! and the car has been transformed from a rattler to smoooth as silk to drive now

[JoKer]

Alignment done this morning and I"M OFF

She's so sweet now : it's like a new car

Sad times... I thought you'd finally got your hands on the 2 door rally car on trademe, but i see it's still there.
All the best.
