Easo's S1 when easo was little.

[easo]

G'day all, I revived some childhood photos from Dad a while back and there are some with my old S1. So I have spent the night scanning them in, and uploading them to photobucket. There in no certain order but I'll try to give some comments where I can.

Righto,
We have always had a conection with the Jeep owners around Albury through the antique car club.

The Hangar is a 1930s QANTAS aerodrome that the Motor Vehicle Enthuses Club of Darwin lease from the NT Government. Motor Vehicle Enthusiasts Club (NT) (http://www.carsonline.com.au/mvec.htm) Some of it owned by the club, most is owned privately and some is under custodian to the club.

There is a great old bloke who is the care taker and a great aid if you need help and advice.

I am sure easo will post soon enough...there is a hanger at Darwin Airport where historical collectors can store their vehicles and work on them and is run by volunteers..

The Sandfly underwent cosmetic restoration by club members with the aid of a generous Gov grant. It was to return to Stokes Hill Waft, but common sence came out and it resides protected in the Hangar. The canopy is to keep dust and rat, bird, bat poo off.

I love the contrast of the Foden Gearbox to the S1. They probably weigh about the same.


The following photo shows a startling resemblance to the one of yourself sitting behind the wheel of the Jeep, don't you reckon.

couple of things,

1) easo that photo of you and Jack in the Gun Buggy (MMMM GUNBUGGY!) is a ripper... didnt fall far from the tree that lad did he!

2) I had a studebaker gran turismo when I was but a pup but after a few scares (it was supercharged) where I nearly killed myself (and not deliberately being silly or anything!) I sold the old girl...loved that car though..

3) is that a blitz body at sedan height in the back??...Ke? I think it would look a tad nasty as a sedan type vehicle?!

4) Ive already spoken to Jack about sitting in the Gunbuggy (MMMM GUNBUGGY) dont make me come down there to you too!!!!


Cheers (and thanks for the photos and thread!)

G'day Digger, the blitz is a 2WD cab chassis with small flat tyres, which is why it looks so low.

I think I might do a thread on the Hangar, what do you all recon???

didnt yor parents want it any more?;)

[easo]

It was on full rego until 2006 but I got married, single wage, 3 kids something has to go and a 3rd cars rego was one.

We live in defence housing and there is not alot of room here with 2 everyday cars, 16ft car trailer and box trailer as it is. The club allowed me to keep it there while I was O/S last year and its the best place for her. However her tenure will be up soon as we are on the move again and going south.

Easo

[digger]

in the spirit of co-operation I'll give you $500 for it...to give you more room and all....if you transfer to the new base in SA I'll even let you visit it!

maybe it could be delivered via parachute to your front garden?
the army has many talents and need the practice for placing , large ,heavy. objects on a postage stamp.
Iraq doesn't have enough space for this type of manoeuvre? :D


btw the offer is not enough to wet a whistle? :tease:

Tried to take her for a drive in the rain this arvo. She is driving really sluggish with little power, I suppose that's what happens when an old machine gets very little attention these days. So I only went about 3-400m as I didn't want a break down and have to tow. Still got some bits turned over.

She needs to go to a mechanic as this is beyond my ability. That could be some time away too. Until then I'll get back into regular static running, oil/ water checks and keep the battery charged.

Might start fixing the little things like mirrors, change coolant, replace seat belts and replace bulbs. Might even break the beads on the split rims and give them a clean up, wire brush and anti seize the bolts.

G'day Easo :)

If it has been sitting for a while with old petrol in it,you were very lucky to even start it! the shelf life of the current type of rubbish that they sell as petrol has a shelf life of between 12 and 16 weeks depending on which brew it is,drain out and it will probably smell like paint thinners and be brown:( also clean the carby out or at least run fresh fuel into it if possible, this is a major problem with vintage vehicles now, and it has come to the attention of many Qld members that 10% Ethenol is hydroscopic (attracts water) and it then rusts vintage tanks out,let alone eating rubber components :(


Hope that is of some help.


cheers

[lewy]

another one for darwin fuel

[easo]

There is defiantly a fair amount of mechanical work to get her back to good running standard.
She need the carbie rebuild, dizzy rebuild and whatever I haven't found yet.

Comes down to time and $$$$$$, first job is to get the W/shop trailer ready for Corowa.

Whatever you do dont get that old fuel on your skin, the smell doesn't want to come out. :oops2:

I got caught when rather than wasting the old petrol, I used it to wash some parts, Ohh Poo!!!!! :(

Hi Easo

Before you go to the mechanic, I suggest you have a go for yourself .

Oil and filter; change with a oil of recommended viscosity for your ambient temperature range.

Plugs; check the gap, look for oil around the ceramic insulation, may need hotter plugs until the motor settles down.

leads and distributor cap; look for perished or cracked insulation, have a look also at night with the motor running and lights turned off, some motor have quite a display of sparks.

Points, rotor button and condenser; change for new ones and keep old ones as spares.

Fuel pump; learn how to reset the diaphram in the electric fuel pump before you head out bush, it is a easy fix that only needs a flat blade screwdriver and a stick the size of a match.

Clean the gauze fuel filters, including the one on the end of the pickup in the tank, up under the top of the body for glass bowl filter and the sneaky one where the fuel line goes into the carby. :)

That little list should keep you quite for the afternoon. :D

Cheers Arthur

Question on ther buggy. The pass side filler is removed and covered. Did they run two tanks and has been removed, was a post service mod or ???

since it is Zulu Delta 534's he would be best to answer, but in short it still has 2 tanks they are filled under the seat like a series 1 has to be because the windscreens sit behind the seats in brackets when required so filler hose had to be removed:)

If you look at the other photos I posted of Jack you will notice the same on the drivers side:)

Clubagreenie, this following extract should explain a bit about these little beasts.
http://www.aulro.com/afvb/remlr-general/81393-whats-so-different-about-gunbuggy.html?highlight=makes+gunbuggy
If you are interested in military landrovers you should perhaps look up this site; The Registry of Ex Military Land Rovers. Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere. (http://www.remlr.com/) as it contains reams and reams of information on Australian Land Rovers used by the military over the years.
