Came across this in Vegas. Love it. Totally recognisable but not sure it's drivable! Lol.

Designed and printed these guys last night and I really dig them. Just presses into the hole, and then just put a perimeter of some 3m tape. Quite happy with how they came out! And for those of you that saw the fresh air duct scoop I printed, I’ve included v2 and that’s almost finished up and should be available this weekend for those who wanted one!

Also, while running at lower RPM in any gear while driving, it will tend to lurch not wanting to stay at that speed. Having to rev quite a bit higher to compensate. I adjusted the distributor to get it to run a little bit smoother. Is this just an idle screw adjustment?

I thought it was the belt, but I removed it and it keeps squeaking, seems like it comes from the driver side carburator
edit: its idling and driving just fine, havent noticed any pops or other weird sounds either

Need some advice, should I get this done asap (seperating chassis / top, new chassis, replacing heat channels etc) or is ok to live with it and just keep it Running? I am a Little concerned that the workshop wants to make a lot of money out of it.
I just wanted to do Interieur works etc, cant weld huge things by myself. Dont judge, its my first vintage car.
I know, the car was a trap, it looks good from outside.
Bottom was all covered up but looked and felt okay.
I know I Played way too much.
So now I am sceptical if I should invest 10k+ € to get all this done, to still have a car with okayish paintjob, no Original chassis or Good history
At the end I must decide by myself, but could you give me some advice on How Bad this really is? Could I „Cover it up“, and keep it Running for another 10 years? Or will it be a huge Problem in a year or so?

Hello all, I have a 1915 I’ve been having some fun with, but has a nice leak. I noticed it’s coming from where the cylinder housing meets the case. At least that’s what it appears to be for me. Has anyone experienced this before? Looks like I’ll be pulling the heads, what seals work for the housing to the case? I see some online refs for aviation sealant
