Fine looking
V8's
Bart's back, With more from
Tunisia.
Hi Chris,
I promised you some other pictures, so here they are. I hope you like them (
anyway, I did when the pictures were taken ).
For the moment I'm in Belgium, so I missed the last trip to the desert last
weekend. Anyway my car wasn't fixed yet. I hope by the time I return to Tunesia
(tuesday)
The Mallory, power plugs and polybushes will be arrived. This gives me the
opportunity to fix my car properly and enjoy some other great weekends.
I hope you enjoy the pictures, and as you know, you're always welcome to join
us for a weekend.
Bart.
I think you will agree, this is
a fine looking MG

Off-Roading In Australia (
Lucky Sod.)
Lisa, some pics for you and
Chris--this is why we go 4X4'ing--to get to fantastic places like this
(Double Island Point, Queensland--you have to drive about 40m up the beach
(easy at low tide, it's getting on and off the beach can be difficult.)
Best wishes, Robert ( Australia )
Actually the truth is I don't really like going on the
beach too much, because of the rust factor. Mud is preferable, although that
stuffs the seals etc, + brakes.
Bart, from Tunisia
Hi Chris,
Do you still remember me? I'm Bart Callens living in Tunesia. My 4.6 Efi still
goes as strong as ever. My friends are even considering changing their 4x4 to a
D90 (V8) or are looking for one. I'll send you some pictures from our trips.
Don't forget you are still invited to join us in one of our trips.
I also have to change my bushes, and want to replace them with polybushes.
Which ones should I take Normal or comfort? I'm doing a lot of road, tracks,
dunes and some trial. A complete set, does that change all the bushes? Can they
be fitted by a home mecanic? Do I need special tools? Will my handling improve?
Yes Yes, & you bet. !!.
If you look close, its an
Alien you will see.

Tales of Woe.
If your V8 starts a tickin' like it's ready to explode, and you're using tons
of oil when you're burdened by a load, and you've over hundred thousand on a
rig that's not been towed, then your tickin' lifters clackin' means your cam
lobes are furrowed.
If your swivel balls are leaking in a profuse sort of way, and you hear a click
or clacking when you're turning all the way, and you're topping off the swivels
almost every other day, then your swivel seals need changing and you'd better
not delay.
If your brakes begin a screeching when you're pressing on the pedal, and it
sounds like water's ready when it's boiling in the kettle, or you hear an awful
noise, like metal rubbing metal, then your brake shoe's need a changin' and for
less you mustn't settle.
If your gears begin to howl after a substantial time, and you shift it into
overdrive and then that begins to whine, but you're not too low on gearlube
cause it's checked from time to time, than your situation's normal and it
happens all the time.
If your gearshift lever breaks at the ball where it's attached, and your brakes
are out of order, and the parking brake is trashed, and you're going down a
hill, and descending much too fast, than your situation's hopeless and you're
just about to crash!
Enjoy!

V8 Volvo 142 -1969,
Hello RPI
Just a couple of pictures showing my Volvo 142 -1969, the
engine is a 4.6 with the usual mods e.g. heads, cam, dual chain etc. and 5
speed transmission. The rear axle comes from a Jaguar XJS with LSD and
shortened to fit the Volvo, the solid driveshafts was discarded and instead
tubular driveshafts are installed. The entire front is made of fiberglass
including hood and trunk, and as much weight as possible is removed from the
car giving the it a curb weight of 1100 kg.

More V8
Power.
Who Needs to go Off-Road,
for the best views.
I have with great interest surfed your Internet pages
regarding Rover V8s. The reason for this interest is that I have 2 projects
involving this V8; 1) reconditioning of my wife's '89 Range Rover SEi 3,9
(German spec), 2) converting my `77 MGB Roadster (see above) (US spec) til
V8.
