A work in progress # 4.1: 1978 Serie 1 Fiat X1/9

Ne vinci un po ', ne perdi un po'! Questo è solo come è a volte.

Prima il lato del debito del registro: il precedente stato "totalmente privo di ruggine" ha messo un grosso asterisco contro di esso, in attesa di ulteriori indagini sul sistema di raffreddamento. In sua difesa, la macchina non si surriscalda, né c'è alcuna prova di pianto dal radiatore o dai tubi di raffreddamento, il che è motivo di ottimismo.
Il fluido - o "arancia metallica liquida" - è arrivato sul cemento attraverso il serbatoio di troppopieno, suggerendo che il sistema è abbastanza robusto per far fronte a un po 'di pressione interna senza scoppiare nulla. Un buon flush-out è saltato in cima alla lista delle priorità e si unisce a una messa a punto e servizio urgenti come un must.

Qualche cosa allo yang (o è yang a ying?): Sotto le fodere dei sedili c'erano questi sedili un po 'ruvidi ma relativamente nuovi e mai indossati. Sicuramente nulla che una buona pulizia del vapore non sortirà e, visti gli sforzi che alcuni proprietari hanno fatto per replicare il look, un grande bonus!


Oltre a questo, un po 'di lavoro è andato a de-cablare alcuni accessori ridondanti - un paio di antenne radio bidirezionali e fonti di alimentazione utilizzate durante il periodo dell'auto come una macchina di piombo Targa-Tour, e uno stereo andato da molto tempo - ma per il resto l'impianto elettrico sembra abbastanza indisturbato. I fari non funzionano, ma non c'è nulla che indichi un fallimento catastrofico, quindi speriamo che non sia troppo difficile da risolvere.

EJ or EH Holden? (Up-dated December, 2022)

EJ or the later EH? Several years ago, I posed the question:  Can somebody please explain the difference between an EJ and an EH Holden ute or van?  The response at the time wasn't overwhelming, so I did a bit of Googling and ferreting through my photos and came up with my own rough guide to EJ and EH identification.  Sedans and wagons are easy to tell apart ;  the EH's vertical rectangular tail lights are a dead give-away.  However, the workhorse versions of both models share the rear-end treatment of the earlier EJ, making it harder to identify one from the other.    No super obvious hints here. Or here ...  . It turns out that the main clues are in the placement of the front   H O L D E N   lettering and GMH lion emblems, the style of the radiator grille and the width of the vents in front of the windscreen, with all EJs - sedans, wagons, utes and vans - having one combination and the EH line-up having th...

An Electric Fiat X1/9

For several years, there have been whispers that an electric X had been constructed in Tasmania's south.  However, no one seemed to know much about the car and how it had been built. That's not to say that it was some kind of skunkworks project; it seems to have simply been an under-the-radar affair, quietly put together by a bloke in his shed.  It was actually so U-T-R that I'd seen it at least twice without me realising that it'd been electrified. The car's since been sold but this is what I could glean from its current owner:  - It's a 1980 model and, as such, was delivered to Australia as a "Series 1.5," meaning that it originally had the Series 1's 1300 cc / four-speed in a Series 2 body with impact-absorbing bumpers and the higher engine compartment lid, as well as the latter's interior; - The motor is a 120 volt DC unit from US company Advanced Motors and Drives, rated at 10 HP / 7.355 kW ( http://evalbum.com/advdc , accessed 03 JUN 24);...

Random # 301: Nanna-Spec KE36 Corolla

-
Image
  Once upon a time - six or seven years ago, actually - there was a lovely pale yellow GC Galant station wagon getting around Hobart.  It was totally nanna-spec; its paint was umarked, the chrome work and hubcaps were immaculate, and its very original interior was pristine. Then someone stuck feathers in its dashboard.  Next, the windows were adorned with Tibetan prayer flags.  And a hubcap went missing.  And the the rear bumper was pushed in, mangling the bodywork behind it.  And a mudguard got dented.  And rust set in.   I fear for this sweet, innocent KE36 Corolla.  Somebody please save it before it's too late.  Nanna needs you to do it. Hello, reader! I've noticed that this seems to be a particularly popular post.  Something to do with Google's algorithms, I guess ... .  But it's not my best piece!  Sure, it's ok, but there are so, so many more interesting classic, sports and performance cars on this site - as wel...
