The inlet manifold is separate but its flanges to mount it too the head are part of the head, so you need to be very good at masking or good at free hand painting. I chose freehand painting

Any good Doctor, Mechanic will tell you about the importance of carbs. Well its no different for a Rolls Royce. Bare plastic White primer shows all the faults A coat of silver with different parts with a different shade of under coat to create contrast. Hole drilled out for...

The only new parts on the outside are the screws as its cheaper to replace with new than to get the old ones re plated. Also the same with the hose clips, otherwise its all original. Obviously i replace any internals that wear.t

I'm in my ellement Bob :) My life has been motorcycle restoration for the last 30 years either as a business or hobby. My spare time has been models...so a model restoration is bliss :-) I got some new fluid today for the ultrasonic l cleaner that i use for carb cleaning. It works brilliantly...

So it is now completely stripped.....well not quite, its a series of sub sections, front axle and suspension, engine, gearbox, rear suspension and axle and everything else.. I decided to work on each sub assemble separately and i will strip them at the same time as rebuild so i have hope of...

One of the first things i wanted to do while i work out a plan of attach is see if the chrome is salvagable because if not i need to get it sent off . A rolls is only a Rolls because of its badge and grill. A rolls without these two essentials......is a Bentley. The radiator surround was...

Yea its a bit of an enigma . on one hand it a lot of detail, on the other it has a whole load of linkages and stuff that are there to make things like the brakes work and bear no relation to anything on the real car...very odd :) Even more odd is people mount these things on mirrors so you...

O()h and the reason it needs to be completely stripped ? well its all self coloured plastic ( no paint) and getting the chassis rails out and painted means a full strip.

Only real damage i can find is this I had no idea how over engineered these things are ? I mean all the brakes should work when the brake pedel is pushed and i also found a battery. No idea that thats supposed to do ? a few other pictures as i start to strip this. I have to say its all...

I have decided to start a thread for this but it may be premature. No worries i can dig it out of the archives when i want to update it. I should have called this thread "We're going to need a bigger Boat Bench " but "Pocher" makes it easier to find. I picked this up today about 40 miles up...

Sitting very low in the water Chris, looks like it was carrying me and my 12 twin brothers before my diet :) that 2 dollar is very near to our 2 pound

A bit of my reasoning on this... I retire in a couple of months, i will close my business down and for tax reasons i am moving some business stock via Ebay/cash and using that money/ unaccountable cash to fund the hobby with things i probably will never be able to justify once living on a...

I would guess a shop ? too many duplicates for a single buyer ?

What was it Britney said ? Whoops i did it again ? Anyway, in for a penny, in for a pound as they say. I put another low bid on a Pocher and won... You cant seem to ge a roller for under £900 over here so one for £145 seemed good. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/156485280069 Its half built but...

WOW ! :)

Hot or cold you wouldn't want to be hit on the head from 20,000ft by one :) i did look into this before because dont forget the bullets that missed the target also rained down eventually Fact is it was incredibly rare to find anything in the countryside but very common to find flack casings/...

Have a look at the first 2 mins of this and just imagine what it would be like to be on the ground under a dog fight :-~)

We did this last weekend.......

Fantastic example of less is more, the separate details merge together to fire your imagination and tell a story. I really like it :)
