cant answer your question but good to see you back on here pal, i keep coming on here to look at your welding pictures to give me confidence (i did have a bash at welding a panel but it didnt quite go to plan so i need some more practice i think)

love ? its powered by love !?! I will give it a kiss and snuggle when i get home and see if that works. kidding !! i had started to think the same thing. I think my next job will be to take the new pump off and try the old one and see if that makes any difference and i can check the cam lobes...

Has anyone massively faffed around with the fuelling system ? I've got a Pao with a 1.0 engine that had been stood for quite a few years. So i've drained the tank and lines of old petrol, fitted new in line filters and pump, but when i crank the engine its taken ages to get any fuel up from the...

i think i get you buddy, basically either copy whats there, or make it possible to seam weld along it :)!!

quick question for you Russ. you see in your bottom picture where the car is up in the air and you have welded in that sill section. where it curves down underneath the car and comes to the lip - have you spot welded that along its length ? i thought that was the process and was happy as i...

how much do these parcel shelves usually sell for ?

Well that was one of my worst evenings spent working on a car ever. Re-fitted my freshly cleaned, flushed and painted petrol tank, new fuel pump and in line filters and was just having a quick look at the carb before trying to start the car and dropped a big amount of crud down into the carb...

sorry to hijack your thread Russ but how are you 2 getting those pictures to show like that ? when i put pics in my thread they show as a tiny thumbnail you have to click on ? i tried an instagram link and a photobucket url but its not having any of it ??

luvvly jubbly cheers Fabster, just cleaned the tank out and the sludge that came out was un flipping believable, so need to get it painted and some fresh unleaded in there and see if it will crank into life

Ive in the process of rebuilding a Pao with the MA10 engine in it, quick question, due to the age are these engines ok running on unleaded ? or do they need an additive or head work to run happily on modern unleaded also what oil should i be looking for ? 15w 40 ?

Just a quick question. do these engines run happily on unleaded or do they need an additive or head work to run ok on modern unleaded ? and whats the best oil ? 15w 40 ?

i struggled with the same part, it needs a wiggle and a pull straight upwards. One side slipped out fine but i had to yank the other and it brought the clip out with it, just hold it as close to the clip as you can so theres no chance of bending the seat frame.

and found 2 of these under the carpet !!

stripped the inside out ready for work

:)

is there a picture here ??

Picked the car up a week ago and have just started on the long road to get it back up and running again (it hasn't been on the road since 2007), car doesnt start - it turns over but wont start, im hoping its stale fuel so im currently half way through dropping the tank and draining it to put...

thanks for your reply Russ, i'll put a thread up as soon as i get the courage to start cutting away at it so you can have a look/laugh at my work, I'm not sure at the minute wether to just do the plates that are underneath myself as no-one will see them then take it to a pro or just go at it...

Looks like good work there Russ, i just picked up my Pao at the weekend and looks like its in a similar condition to yours, unfortunately i didnt think it was that bad until i got home and started poking and shoving my fingers through parts of car :-( ive got a decent welder and have practiced...
