Hi Brains trust! Upon a whim I decided to pull the front guards off my Midget today. There was a motive behind this decision......to clean up the awful engine...
G'day Brant All the repair panels are available, and they're all cheap. Normal retail prices are: $135 for a full length sill $ 58 for the bottom 20cm of the...
G'day guys We had the rare opportunity recently to have both an early and a late model Bugeye in the shop at the same time. This gave us the chance to compare...
To let those who might be interested to know; there is a Sprite Mk 1 in a wrecker’s yard on the eastern side of the M1 highway just south of Exit 85 (which...
This could be the car I saw in the yard around 1990. If so, it had a Holden engine and was in a very sad state at the time. 18 years down the track and out in...
I think you are on the right track here Brant and there seems to be some consensus - thanks for your response. Bagonails ________________________________ ...
Hi Alex, that's a coincidence, this car has been laid up for a number of years and I suspect I am suffering the same issue you had. Thanks for your response. ...
G'day Colin, Sorry if this didn't provide you with enough of a challenge however I think this car has plenty of scope so be prepared for me to raise the bar in...

Hi Bert,  I hope this reply doesn't come up twice; I was called away and closed half way through an attempted reply and have just come back to it now.  ...
Hi Bruce, Yes the car is the same one I inspected in 1990. From memory the “protective carpet” is still the same but the corrugated sheeting is a later...
Thanks Colin, You were right. With an adjustment of the pushrod i now have pedal travel and for some reason- my brake lights have begun working again. Thanks...

Does anyone out there have a fast road cam for sale suitable for a 948cc bugeye engine. I am rebuilding the engine with new bearings and seals and thought I...
G'day Alan To get a suitable cam grind, we need to know the engine specs and your expectations. a) What is the engine capacity? b) What's the compression...
Thanks Colin. It all sounds much too hard! And all I wanted was to go a little bit faster! Perhaps I'll just get a noisier exhaust. Regards from a 68 year old...
It's not really that hard, Alan, but you want the RIGHT cam to suit you and your engine, not just a "faster" cam. A cam grind that might be perfectly suitable...
Alan, I emailed you off-line, but I'm told: symonds_alan@... cannot be delivered. This account has been disabled or discontinued Do you have another...

Hi all, I haven't posted photos for ages but I've just put some up of the finished item. Still a few issues to sort out but it looks ok I think. The photos are...

G'day Darryl It looks great and you should be very please with it. And proud of the paint finish, since you did it in your back yard! It looks as good as...
Wonderful job, Darryl. Thanks for all the detail. It looks very similar to mine (although an earlier model). What colour is the paint? Don Jordan. [Non-text...
... Yeah I bought that Sprite, its in the middle of being stripped down. Going to keep the Cortina engine, we started it last night and it sounded good and...
Apparently this car at the wreckers ran with a Holden red motor. The price does not include the logbook so no wonder it's still sitting there. Cheers Mike...
