[MGBGT1800]

I meant '64, it's a mk1 with some mk2 bits on it, I have some videos up on my channel.

[mickeymoose76]

an 84? are you sure?

[mazb6t]

i think that there engine is in need of a rebore or at least a new set of rings

I'm lucky about the rust, somewhat, the America I bought was undercoated, but there is still rust where the jack holes are. My big problem is fixing all the mechanicals, most cost little but there a quite a few...

You used to be able to fix these A series engines yourself when they went wrong and they did now and again but you just set the points with a matchbox cleaned the plugs and you were away again till the subframe went oh happy days.

keep up the good work chaps, there must be many " A series" engines out there, still milling away.

Niiice, just bought myself a 84 Austin 1100 to go with my dads Kestrel 1300.... :p

Messing about with oily engines is best done on a cold night in the rain.

I had a 1100 great engine in it but as usual the subframe was rotten.
