Rebuild of a rare LC engine for a project. Something a little different. This particular engine was an early unit with only test mileage on it. The internals like new, just ancillaries that needed to be renewed along with some small repairs such as to the sump which had been cracked. Since the engine will be mates to a BMW 530d manual gearbox an adaptor was designed and made by HELIX so that the BMW parts could be used directly onto the original LC flywheel.

Something a little different. After wanting a Massey Fergie 135 for years, (used to drive one with my grandfather from an early age) an opportunity arose via a good friend of mine who’s father sadly passed away. As part of his estate a Solo Beet harvester was discovered under 60′ conifer tree’s. Powering the beet harvester was a MF135 multipower. It had stood idle for 40+ years. A new battery was put on, some diesel put in the filters and a bit of tinkering and to everyone’s surprise the engine burst into life first turn of the key! So this is the start of my MF 135 restoration #anothersaved #HandsOnSkills #family #masseyferguson #masseyferguson135 #friendship #oldtractor #TractorRestoration
Think the exhausts do their job nicely 😎 #customfabrication #custommade #customcars #HandsOnSkills #classiccars #carrestoration #restomod #vauxhallvivaownersclub #anothersaved #classicvauxhall #moneypit #classicopel #vauxhallfirenza #retrovauxhall #v8viva #musclecar #classiccar #chevroletcanam #babychevy #chevy350 #350chevy
Once again we find ourselves on the lookout for someone who is able to get up for work in the morning, do a days work, wants to be part of a team and is genuinely interested in growing the business and eventually wants to be part of something they can actually own. You’d think it’d be easy wouldn’t you ! 😵💫
When building up the ’54 Chevy chassis I wanted to ensure that when I mate the Jag front clip to the chassis rails and build the 5 link rear that everything remains square and true. Also when boxing in the chassis I wanted to make sure that it didn’t twist out of shape. So a Chassis jig was made from some heavy 120x120x10 SHS with some sacrificial box section x-members to weld to. I don’t think I have any fear of this chassis jig bending 😎💪🏽 #restomod #customcars #classiccars #customfabrication #HandsOnSkills #custommade #carrestoration #chevy3600 #patinatruck #chevytrucks
Next phase of works on Jared’s Coupe. Engine out on the subframe along with the old MGB gearbox etc. Exhausts off and everything stripped to start on mating the T5 gearbox to the Rover block. A few head scratching moments ahead 😵💫 #moneypit #custommade #customfabrication #HandsOnSkills #classiccar #retrovauxhall #classiccars #anothersaved #classicvauxhall #restomod #customcars #carrestoration #classicopel #vauxhallfirenza #v8viva #musclecar #vauxhallvivaownersclub
