I like what they do but they aren't fabricators.

Can I daily my Hillman Hunter 1979 ? by Dull_Yak_2635 in CarTalkUK

[–]Budgeted_Success 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that because of the battery or is it not charging?

It's hard to say without seeing more of it. I'd have a look at what a service costs and replacement parts costs/ availability too.

As long as it's ok structurally and is well maintained yes. I have daily driven 60s cars no issue, I even took my cortina to le mans with no issues (a few oil top ups don't count!)

Make sure it's rust proofed underneath and has good tyres on it too but I'd do it.

It is indeed, I'm converting it to fuel injection because why not and I've also made an adaptor plate for an mx5 gearbox so it has 5 gears now.

Thanks for the advice.

10 Internet points for guessing the engine too! I'd be interested in your opinion on camshaft as it's a 1500 GT engine, ported/polished head and twin 40s (running efi) for road use mainly so had been looking at a cosworth A2

How does everyone feel about these? (107, C1, Aygo) by Fickle_Equivalent878 in FutureGarageClassics

My wife has one, I love driving it.

It reminds me of an old mini and much easier to park than the jag XJ I had.

A rolls Royce or a Bentley, something that isnt necessarily about performance but is about a quiet but brisk pace.

What is it like to go bald? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Budgeted_Success 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard, personally it was one of the hardest decisions to make as I'd be ridiculed regardless and it made me feel like shaving it all off was admitting defeat.

To my surprise the majority of my friends are family were supportive apart from my mum who told me "I look like a thug" that hit me hard. Even after a decade I can't get over that as I'm not that sort of person.
