EMO Resto

good news Dave...if you guys need a hand give me a shout...

Ok, after the break from EMO this past week, we've made a bit more progress!
Bolting up all the crap!




Note the type 4, 7 row oil cooler! This should give for good motorway cruising!




Small problem trying to mount this....




To this!




Yep, altenator to dynamo stand just aint gonne go!



So we figured we'd stick the motor in and solve that problem later!
Bit of clearancing to get the 12volt flywheel in!




Then we discovered the thrust bearing was knackered so the motor couldn't go in anyway!
Any hope of making the next meet has now gone!

thats a bummer about the stand and the bearing at least they are not major expensive parts.....sold an alt stand on ebay a while back for 5 quid bloody typical......

If you need a hand Dave I am more than willing to come round and drink your tea

& I can come round, tut & suck air through me teeth (like builders do when they say somethings gonna cost ya!)

Progress this weekend hasn't been that great, partly due to Sid being away on a dirty weekend!
I've managed to get over the problem of trying to mate the altenator to the dynamo stand, by fitting the altenator to my car!

Work in progress:



The engine for EMO is now virtually ready to go in! Couldn't fit it as Sid had the new thrust bearing!
Never mind! maybe next weekend!


Spence, if you wanna get started on your car, evenings this week, give me a shout! There aint alot I can do on EMO in the dark!

Sorry I did'nt get round today as I've been nursing a rather large hang over.....went to a party at a Neighbours and got so pissed that I descided to do a bit of stage diving off there sofa....laneded on the floor and cut my chin

Starting this week is cool dave.....i'll order the rest of the panels in the morning they should come on Tuesday....so anytime after that

PMSL Sorry mate, don't mean to laugh, but that's just classic!!!!


Looked at the calendar and realised I gotta pull my f*ckin finger out! Christmas is comin real quick, and I promised to have yours and Sids done way before! Though yours shouldn't take that long as it's all stripped and ready to go!

to be honest mate it was extremely funny...cider and red wine is not a good mix

I know Christmas is looming......my kids actually think it is Christmas....dont worry to much Dave just fit it in when you can.....catch up later in the week

This evening, in the dark and wet, armed with only a torch, I ripped out the old break pipes ready to get some new ones made up first thing in the morning!

Got your new break pipes dude! I'll fit it soon as I can find my waterproofs!

Dave you are a legend in your own lunchtime dude, hardcore to the core!!

Thanks for the natter today Dave and thanks for the loan of EMO's fuel pump, however its still not pumping fuel to the carb...i'm getting fuel to the pump but nothing going through it....do you reckon i should order a rod when i order the replacement fuel pump??

and sid you dirty dirty boy

Oh yeah forgot to add that I though EMO was looking good Java Green rocks

i'll pop that fuel bak tomorrow afternoon fella

No worries bud, it was nice seein you and Ed today!

As far as I know, it's a good pump! the rod should be ok! I assume you've been crankin it over for ages? It does take a while to get the fuel flowing!


Motor'll be in tomorow morning! And hopefully driving in the afternoon!

After hollyoaks finished (F*ckin hell Sid! ) we attempted to bleed the breaks! After 2 hours of pumpin, we still had no fluid coming through the new pipes!
Checked everything was tight and no leaks,. And we still couldn't get anything through!
We'll try again after the engine's in!

whats the master cylinder like Dave??

cranked for a while until the battery started going flat...got fuel in the line all the way to the pump....sucked on the line and the fuel came through lovely (urgghhh) i'll change the rod and the starter i think

thanks for the cup of tea Rach you make a better cup than Edd does

surely someone who want's the responsibility of being a mod should first learn to master a tea bag and a kettle!!

thats so true scoops...Edd cant be a mod anyway he's off travelling soon...with his missus he's hardly going to be checking up on the website from a tropical beach hut is he!!

I reckon I know what he will be checking.....
Dirty little sod!!!

Dirty messy business.
He'll learn the hard way!!!

I know someone who went travelling and spent alot of time in Sydney....in fact he spent most of his time in Kings Cross in Sydney (google that) he ended up leaving his credit card which his mum and dad gave him for emergency purposes in a less than kosher establishment....the lady at reception rang the credit card firm who in term rang his mum and dad and told them where he left the credit card they were not impressed as the name of the establismnet kind of gave it all away
