Is removing the front essential for the engine removal ? I need to replace gearbox as mine has ate itself and believe easier to remove engine with box
@VisionAutoGarage Ай бұрын
No not at all, engine and gearbox can be lifted out of a fully assmbled car. A hoist is essential and getting the angle right :)

Great fun looking little monster, the rear differential,did you do any modifications to it ? I understand that it's not a drag car so is the stock rear sufficient to handle racing? Thanks for sharing.

hey what type of drills are you using to drill out spaot welds, I bought cobalt but they dull just after 5 spots. slow going any suggestions

Yep, the more you look the worse it gets..my situation as well. Phase 1 - get car on road. drive a year and then tear it down for extensive body rehab. I don't THINK it's as bad as yours, but until I start to pull off body panels it will be hard to be sure...my jacking points have also been closed up...and i've found bondo in several places. Good video! Thanks, will refer to it often as I restore my 76 Midget.

Good to see you back doing stuff and putting out videos. Regarding the reverse rotation thing, I’m fairly sure that, although the crankshaft rotates the ‘wrong’ way, they have an output/balancer shaft that’s gear driven so rotates the right way for a conventional diff. Some American KZbinrs on the “Cars and Cameras” channel built a buggy with a Chevette rear axle powered by a BMW K1000 engine and I don’t imagine the 1200 is so very different.

Can't you just flip the axle?
@VisionAutoGarage Жыл бұрын
Flipping the axle would certainly work, but it would mean the diff crown wheel would be driving on the back side of the gear ramp, so it would wear quickly and make a ton of noise. If reverse cut gears were available it would be worthwhile i think.
