Просмотров 1,4 тыс.8 месяцев назад
Today I stripped the sump plug on my classic mini. From reading on the internet it seems this is a more common problem that I expected and it has potentially cheap solution! If you want to have a go at doing the same on your car then you can get the plug from mini spares. #classicmini #resto_nation #restoration

    If you think you will make money restoring cars for clients, think again. I will never, ever, do a car for a customer again. If you want to buy fix and flip don't count on banking a large income, those that tell you how much they make are mostly full of BS. But you can add some extra side income, and enjoy yourself at the same time, just don't give up your day job.

    Question please: I changed the B series 1500 engine for an 1800 MGB engine, but now although it runs well at speed, it idles badly always. Might the original 1500 needles in the H4 cab be too small for the new engine as it needs more fuel on idle? The 1500 jet I had in there has HB on the side. Thanks

    • @Resto.Nation
      @Resto.Nation 21 день назад

    • @ianwilliams1448
      @ianwilliams1448 21 день назад

      @Resto.Nation I rechecked the balance and air/fuel ratio settings and they didn't require too much of a change. I didn't get a great deal of improvement to the idle unfortunately..
