Title: Oh Yes Post by: the coppersmith on April 06, 2017, 11:11:06 AM after a long winter doing endless tidy up jobs on my old Dutton, at 8.30 this morning I dropped it in for its MOT. At 9.30 phone rang to say come and collect, it's all passed and ready. ;D No advisories either, I reckon its the magic Tee shirt. ;) Still got the carbs to set up proper, seems a little coarse, but pulling well. Here come summer 8)

Title: Re: Oh Yes Post by: the coppersmith on April 07, 2017, 07:32:40 AM Yep, Dolly Sprint engine and overdrive box, all the instruments and most of the wiring, all came from one car. I'm trying to keep it old skool as much as possible. Its not the quickest but it does for me (and the wife).

Title: Re: Oh Yes Post by: morrag on April 22, 2017, 08:19:28 PM They mostly seem to belong to the young guy who owns the place, or I assume he does, anyway he runs it, tidy guy who does bike & car, MoT's, and then general auto repairs, but his real interest appears to be older US metal, its called Gower Auto at a place called Crofty, in the Gower Peninsular. Yeah, interesting....
