Hey this is great! Every man and his dog has replicas of the black "Pusuit Special" car. About time someone replicated the first Max Rockatansky car from the opening chase sequence. Nice job mate :)

The water leaks can be confusing i had a leak on the heater return pipe at the rear , took me a while to find even with pressure testing , a damp v is somtimes normal as the water pump seal does bed in , thanks for sharing,

Gee Whizz, great progress, its looking really good, well worth the effort. What wheels do you intend to fit?
@dustystuffgarageАй бұрын
It's near on impossible to find chrome sunracia wheels in Australia, summit racing had a decent copy in stock with various offset options, so I went with that, also looking forward to the day I fit them to the car. Cheers

Just in the middle of this too on the other side of the world in Ireland, pump rebuild kit on the way from James Paddock too. Unfortunately I’m going to have to helicoil some of the manifold bolt threads in the heads as when I initially checked them for tightness (to see if that was the cause of the leak) 3 of them were stripped. Great cars though and so easy to work on compared to the modern stuff. I also have a 91 Merc SL 500 and even though it’s 33 years old, it’s already full of ECU’s and electronics.
@dustystuffgarage2 ай бұрын
May be your water pump leaking as I just recently noticed the brass cage is exposed in the valley, with the manifold off use a bore scope and go under the water pump housing and you'll see it. I had to replace some helicoils seeing as I had the inlet off. Episode 3 of the water pump cover is in the editor process. Yes I find the stag easy to work on compared to modern cars. Puts the stag enthusiast in us all when we decide to tackle most jobs ourselves

Very useful vid. Thank you. As for the orientation of the sticker.... I'm not a purest but suggest that they likely came out of the factory facing either way.... this was BL in the 70's after all.
@dustystuffgarage2 ай бұрын
I was unsure of its orientation, so I googled it and many photos of untouched airboxes had them facing that way. I also found a picture of a stag I had in the UK that had the sticker readable from the passengers side of the car, so I went with that. Glad you enjoyed the video cheers

Very encouraged with your results on the hood lining. I was closely involved with the Stag Owners Club project to facilitate re-manufacture way back in 2002. Its good that its still available, but I have to agree that the price nowadays is not really sustainable, especially given the cost of packaging and shipping for such a fragile item.

Same problems with rust unfortunately, But not as bad as the uk! I thought spare parts would be a problem as hard to find here in Australia. James paddock gets the parts I need to me usually in 4 days...not bad ! Cheers

Is the spare bulb for the glove box lid ? Mk1 Stag's had a round map reading light, set into the bottom corner of the veneer.

I was thinking it might be for the gear selector, as my stag is auto,or the glove box as you say. Cheers 🍻
