Its was quite rotten yes.. Many people were surprised that my car had made ​​it... But with this car a few meters down the road they were even more surprised

He started Wednesday-morning at 6h, with dismantling the front of the car.. And always many people gathering round him, and he kept on spannering on the car, with a basic tool kit.

The "new" engine had one of its spark plugs stuck in the head, but came loose when my dad borrowed him his tools. The insulator and electrodes were completely missing, on both plugs.
They engine looked liked is had been stored in a damp garage or something, it was very oxidized.

When he was ready to start the car, it wouldn't work, due to a bad battery... After some starting, the starter motor began to smoke, and also the cables got very hot..

Punky and me were watching all this, and it came to our mind the fuelpump was faulty because there was no smell of pertol, nor a load of fuel under de manifold.. The belgium guy working on the car together with the owner kept on believing it was a ignition/coil problem.
Punky and me still saying that there wasn't any fuel getting to the carb, but because we don't have grey hair, and aren't 50 years old, they didn't listen to us..

After a while punky said it directly to the owner and he started to change the pump.. Then it took some time, but eventually the car started..


Also had some fun watching a guy from portugal changing his doorlocks... Took him 1,5h on a pace that was really boring.. I would have done it in less than 5 minutes

Anyone buy a quillery wheel they want to sell me?
