@SENC If the tyre were slashed, can it be pulled off? What is the brand name? It's hard to read.

Very welcome, thanks.

I don't often don the chef hat into this bakery here. Unless something is burning... And Im worried about my investments. My workplace 401K/Roth has its best performing index funds based on the Dow Jones and S&P 500. Not to impressive, huh? But its done well this year. However! What if the SHTF and DJT is found to have had his mits in the Epstien cookie jar as deep as the ex-prince? How would the markets react? A good buy opportunity for sure and a quick rebound when the VP is sworn in. I doubt the VP would stray too far from the current policies, if he wants to stand a chance in ,2028? Im not here to speculate on how much DJT might have gotten into the cookie jar. He has obviously had his share of easy, if expensive, oatmeal cream pies. But half-baked cookies is a crime. Going forward, there will be a full out effort to find any crumbs left behind. I think its time to go into cash and wait to see how the cookie crumbles. Thats all the cookie puns I got.

Fuel bladder... A good idea for many live axles with brace welded on, inches away from slicing into the petrol tank.

As an added bonus, the car comes with an ejecting seat Padded dash..uggh 😖

If you know 4 people who use trailers, one of them has had one stolen at least once.

Thanks for the mention. As it had already been said, most theft is a crime of opportunity, and better, risk-free opportunity. Creating an element of doubt that the thief will be unsuccessful is, I think 70% of the prevention. If you don't have $300 to spend, Your lock could be a painted tube of PVC pipe with a cheap puck lock fixed in front, accomplishing nothing but signaling to a thief he doesn't know exactly what it's made of, how hard it will be to cut or how long it will take. On the other hand, put on a lock that "they" know how to defeat wirh grinder, Bolt cutters, etc, and its a matter of time and opportunity.

Tiles are used for large movable things because its not always practical to exchange ownership of the item at the time and place of the closure of the sale transaction. A common example is in shipping vehicles overseas and submitting to customs. The vehicle sits in a lot at the terminal while title is examined for authentication, ownership, theft and liens. And if if your car, or equipment is stolen, recovered, impounded, etc, one can establish ownership with the title. Theft is so bad here, particularly trailers by certain people who will bolt down into Mexico, it should be standard practice for Customs to verify all trailers with a title. Texas is very title heavy, due to theft. When I bought a trailer in Dallas, (you know who you are-thank you again), I didn't dare bring in down to Houston without a substantial hitch lock. It took me a while to get the right lock; they kept sending me wrong parts due to a model variation mix-up.

Do we have rub-on tattoos yet? They look great on everything!

I think it just needs cleaned up and it will all make sense. But if its been bought and dumped too many times, something nasty may be lurking underneath...

Looks early Caterham short cockpit to me. Scuttle side plates, top damper mounts look Catish. Everything else is altered for a auto cross weapon. Grungy axle. It sat somewhere for a while. That engine on a 4spd? Which box? I think it's a good prospect for 20k. Might need brake line and MCs replacement due to age and neglect.

What's this?

@theDreameruneven flared wings are very common. I see them on most flared cars.

I contacted Oxted Trimming and asked if they supplied the BDR seats. They said it wasn't theirs but suggested they were sourced from "Rimmer Bros", who "were no longer in business". We all know the English parts vendor Rimmer Bros. is very much in business. I contacted the current Rimmer Bros. The one who replied didn't understand the question. When I clarified that it would have been a seat supplied to Caterham, I received no response. Perhaps Martin Phipps will know?

Only for the 1 3-14 twin cam SS models. The lamps on Randy's car look Caterham. Could be a Loti with Cat furniture. Randy sure is being tight with the pictures.

@Gene_W are you going to race?

Cap them?

Running 1980 Fiesta on AutoZone, (and who doesn't have an AZ near them?), There is an Alternator but there are bearings and brushes as well.

From Pegasus https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecID=31616 Use a spacer block with these pumps https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecID=3583 These mechanical pumps are known to have adequate flow at the recommended low pressure of 3-4 psi. The Formula Ford racers run these to feed 32/36 DGVs without pressure regulation. But I think the DCOEs are different, perhaps more pressure sensitive. I would recommend a pressure regulator for DCOEs, even from a mechanical. I could be wrong. But certainly regulate any electric pump.

@Bill if you are blanking off the cam driven fuel pump, going electric (use a regulator), Burtons has a cover with an oil slinging shield over the cam.

I have drilled out my scuttle rivets as well, for ease of access., on a previous scuttle. I have a newer one on now, and intend to do it again. When I can, I would like to replace the firewall with a new piece of a thicker gage sheet. In that picture, LHD S3 has indicators under the headlamps whereas a RHD S3 I have seen does not. I am thinking these were USA DOT compliance additions. On the S3 photo, I count 24-25 rivets. My scuttle has 24

Can we have the Geo alternator lug mounting spacing dimensions? Outside, inside?
