I'm haven't been a member of French car forum for years now.

​@@adventuresinrust1644Is there a way I can private message you?

@@adventuresinrust1644 do you have social media I can message you on?

Wow, that's a long way from here! Thanks for watching, although there are so many fat better English UA-cam channels than this one!

Occasional heaviness is more likely the pump or fluid generally. Lds does degrade despite it being 'for life'. Only way to tell really is have a good look at the pinion shaft, ideally through the footwell. If the shaft is very rusty, at some point it'll destroy the seal and leak. Might be tomorrow, might be in 10 years.

Absolutely, it'll be a fine old land yacht soon

The original owner was an electronics engineer, and I'm told a very good one. To be fair, i remember this car back from the early 80s on, and whilst it always looked 'used' it was kept pretty well up together, I think maintenance went out the window after it passed on from him though. It's certainly had some 'interesting' repairs...

@@doctorhugocat the national is a long termer, which, given how slowly we do things, will be decades away probably! It's also not mine, although I expect I'll get involved with it..

@@andrewmalyon5699 very kind to say thanks. They are rather dull videos, but all of mine are.. I'll be entirely honest, I have no idea how I'm going to approach this yet. If it was a French car from the 80s or 90s I'd know exactly what to do, but this is somewhat out of my comfort zone. I know how I'd like to do it, but I just don't have the space, facilities or ability to make a jig, attach body to it and make it good. So I'll wing it and hope for the best. At this stage I don't think I can make it any worse.. I'm kinda OK with it, because I knew it was horrific before I bought it. I think if I'd expected better and saw this I'd have cried, but, even though it is still worse than I thought, it's not that much worse, so I'm not losing sleep over it, as to whether I have the ability to actually make it a decent car, well, probably not, but I'll chip away at it and see how it goes...

@@gerhard6105 ooh, I'll check out your channel, I do like an old Opel! I think this cars done pretty well really, yes it's rotten, but until 4 or 5 years ago this car was a daily driver, and spent its entire life outside parked on the street and used in all weathers, so I'm not too upset by the corrosion, it's had a life, it's entitled to be tired. It's probably in better condition than lungs, and I'm a lot younger than the car!

@@micrashed mostly filler I think mate, but yeah, I also can't wait to waft around in this car!

@@patou86 Bonjour mon ami J'espère que tu vas bien Que fais-tu sur le bx ? En mettez-vous des vidéos ?

@@adventuresinrust1644 ça va, merci. Oui je suis embeter sur le branchement faisceau moteur.. Oui, je fais des vidéos😉😊

@patou86 Heureux de l'entendre. Bon sang, je viens de découvrir ta chaîne ! Génial. Je me suis abonné en utilisant mon autre compte, que j'utilise principalement pour regarder les contenus des autres.

@@adventuresinrust1644 OK, avec plaisir 😉😊

@@stevehill4615 that's definitely in the plan. Although I want to retain as much of the outer skin of the car as possible, but the areas in the boot floor are all going, so I want to cut out the worst of it, Jack the rear end to somewhere about where I think it should be, weld some metal in to give it at least some structure bad see how it looks thereafter.. But I'm not remotely a pro, never touched a sheerline before and the chances of getting it wrong are high I imagine!

@@adventuresinrust1644 Oh I agree with what you're saying about the floor replacement, but if the body shell can be "pulled" a bit straighter (I normally find you have to manipulate a little bit beyond what is it's normal "set" in order to take account of the metal "springback" when the tension is released) then putting the new metal in, it should give you a good basis from which to work from.

@@stevehill4615 oh, absolutely, happily it's all so loose at the back end I can lift it by hand at the moment, but you're bang on the money, I think I ought to get the dents and stress out of the roof first, then see how much I can tweak the back end up so it'll hopefully sit about right without any stress in the panel, I'll find out in the coming weeks just how good I am at faking being a car repair guy!

@@adventuresinrust1644 Like any of us, you can only try and see how it goes, good luck.

@stevehill4615 well, I'm 8 grand into it so far, so I'm going to try very hard to blag it! Thanks, I'm going to need a lot of luck..

Even at the beginning of the '50s steel was often in short supply for industry in the UK, especially for domestic market cars. It's perfectly possible that the quality could have been variable!

Again though, to be fair to the steel, and the car, it lived outside its entire life, it was used daily in all weathers, and it has been neglected quite badly since it passed on from Mr. Webb. So all things considered I think the cars done pretty well really

@@Doggymcdoggy664 I suspect quite a bit of it will be smaller patches but I'll avoid it whenever possible, more weld, more distortion, and I hate welding, so the bigger the piece, the smaller the weld, happy me..

@@Doggymcdoggy664 it spent nearly it's entire life in Bristol, aside from the last few years, and although I guess you could say we have some water here, it's not proper sea side, just a stream with illusions of grandeur really.. But yeah, until just a few years ago (4 or 5) this car was a daily driver, always lived outside and racked up some impressive mileage!

I take it back then! I'm amazed anyone state side would watch this stuff, Infact I'm genuinely surprised anyone anywhere watches this! You can't beat a jaaaaag! I assume there's still a fair few over there? I saw a spitfire on phantom works a few years ago so I would assume you can get parts for them over there. Infact it's the one thing I rely like about America, parts supply is so good compared to here. The rover is quite nice, I liked the estates too, although the hatch does look better. Thanks for watching! The sheerline looks quite a bit worse now, I'll chuck something up over the weekend

@@adventuresinrust1644 They always look worse before they look better! Looking forward to it, and thanks for the great vids.

@doctorhugocat this is very true. I'm hoping it'll start looking better soon!

I do miss having hair, although I think it would upset even more people to have a trump style hair transplant. Although yeah, I don't think it looked too out of place! I do have a date on mind, although I think that might be a little optimistic, but if they do rustival 3 next march, I want that car there. It'll probably not be finished, but I really want it mot'd and usable by then. There's a few nationals, I'm pretty sure there are more preserved than Leyland ever built!

Of course it's ironic, however, this isn't an airport, no need to announce your departure

Oh dear…for me the t shirts; the anti-Trump commentary; stating the facts about gun control; and a strong interest in watching the Sheerline get fixed - all makes me even more determined to stay subscribed! Keep it up chaps!

@fj2152 to be entirely fair, I'm anti most humans, but I don't see how anyone can think guns are a good thing. Anyhow, thanks for your support. Should be another vid on the sheerline this weekend

Tickover is a wee bit slow at the moment, but it's had a bit of tinkering lately so it all needs a slight tweak. Been a while since I've worked on a 5lw, superb engines. I suspect your engine will outlive us all. What boat do you have?

I had planned to wear my original bx t shirt, but, er, I'm rather fatter these days so I'll find something that fits on the day!

We're quite good at talking bollocks, we just don't usually film it!

I did get a little carried away with the trumpisms...

Not in the immediate future sadly, hours in the day, and a lack thereof, but once the Austin is done I'm hoping to get one day a week on the ambulance and a few days a week on the bus. So late spring next year hopefully, but which point there should be less rusty junk in the shed and more room to tinker with it

@@adventuresinrust1644 I’ll be waiting patiently 😂 I do enjoy the Austin stuff though

@Hoggles94 hopefully some proper stuff might occur with the Austin directly, quicker that's done the quicker I can get stuck into the rest of it

That's rather the point. If people didn't access to guns at Walmart it would be more difficult to murder people with them would it not. Equally, if you take anything we say seriously then you've missed the point rather. As for Germans and licking, I'm not entirely sure what you mean

@@adventuresinrust1644 my point was don’t mix cars with politics no other channel do. Maybe one out of fifty I watch. But not talking about precific incidents . You can walk into Walmart here and buy a carving knife or any junk shop. Same deal as guns. And you need a licence in Walmart USA . And you don’t get it that day. You can buy box knifes at Poundland. What you concerned about trump for. You be concerned about your leader. The leader at is over in Germany now licking up German Butts. Read the news. Your building cars or talking about murders. Google Taylor swift girls dancers murderd. He didn’t need a gun.

@Doggymcdoggy664 I watch several channels that discuss all manner of things. I'm not worried about Trump, or concerned by him, or putin, or starmer, although since I consider brexit to have been a massive failure of we get a better relationship with the EU again that's fine by me. It might make getting parts from the continent a good deal less of a faff than it is now. Thanks for your views, but I'm likely to continue to discuss anything I feel like on this channel. If you're not into that, then this almost certainly isn't a channel for you

@@adventuresinrust1644 yep I imagine. Good luck man. Adios. So you created a channel so you could voice your opinion . Not really about the cars. Not really for me. You should visit America before voicing your thoughts. Just a sheep or ear wagging down the local. Clear your mind. You enjoy your hobbies more. Adios Gents. Shame that.

@Doggymcdoggy664 I didn't create this channel actually. Equally, 99% of everything I've ever said on here has been sarcasm, that's how I am, always have been. I don't need to go back to the States, been once, that was plenty. This channel has always been a bit of tinkering, lots of waffle and piss taking, it won't change. There's a million other channels to watch, if not more, I've never understood why anyone watches this one anyway, but ya know, I've been me. For a long long time, and it's extremely unlikely I'll ever change.

It does get awfully hot though...

@@adventuresinrust1644 Soon be winter

@micrashed Sshh, I don't like winter!

You're quite right, it really is a truck with posh, if rusty, bodywork. There's only a couple of seals I've yet to get, and bearings should be easy once I have the numbers. However, the interior is far beyond my skill set, so I'm not even going to try, same with the wood bits, but the rest should be OK. As has been the recurring theme in the last year, it's lack of time that's the biggest issue at the moment, but I'm hoping to get some more hours in directly. Brake linings isn't an issue, and I have 2 new clutch friction plates on stock. So that's fine.

Thought the moggy piping was smaller, but it's a good call, it is available, so that makes it easy! Mechanically it's pretty much identical to the A135, the engine is from an Austin k truck. Electrically it's very period lucas, not sure about the box but I'd assume that also came from a lorry. I've amassed a fair bit of mechanical parts, not quite everything, yet, it I was surprised at what I could find. The front suspension bushes are the only things I cannot find, but I reckon I can make some bushes for it, if powerflex can do it, how hard can it be! Thanks for subscribing, apologies in advance on the swearing and dullness!

I'm certainly going to try to get it right, without going overboard, but, once I really get into it I'm likely to go overboard I think.

@@adventuresinrust1644 - yes, it cannot be helped, either!

@thisiszaphod it's certainly something I struggle with.. Still, we'll see how it works out..

@@tomsheppard1666 I can buy one locally mate, that ain't the issue, it's having the talent to use it where I'm lacking!

There's a lot to be said for having an A135 over the sheerline these days, parts seem easier to come by, which I guess is understandable, there were more princesses than sheerlines. Pretty much the same underneath, but I do prefer the look of the sheerline, it's almost a caricature of a car from the front.

It's quite a heavy old lump, but then, it's a lorry engine Really. The crank will definitely do a turn, and can be a spare for the car, and my ambulance, same for the cylinder head. I did well getting those bits, couldn't have worked out better!

@@adventuresinrust1644 have you got Austin ambulance as well , wow.

@1961kickboxer I've had it since I was 12! It's a 1971 BL 350 FG with a wadham stringer body. There is a vid on it somewhere back in the videos. 40e version of the sheerline engine, Borg Warner model 8 autobox, goes better than it stops!

@@adventuresinrust1644 thanks I will watch it

@1961kickboxer it's very dull.. Like all these videos.. I really ought to dig it out and get on with that too, but, 24 hours in a day and I'm using about 27 of them at the moment...

Blimey, maybe I should stick the remains of the spares chassis together and see what the local mot man thinks!

I agree, all the gauges are glorious!

Or in the case of a fair few b9tl's stand on foot brake, engage reverse, nothing, jump up and down footbrake, nothing, get an elephant to sit on footbrake, and we have reverse! It did always seem a bit odd, if the vehicle is moving the ecu won't select reverse anyway so it's not even a useful fail safe in that respect!

It does get rather overwhelming. I should have stuck to my thoughts of getting rid of a lot of it some time ago. But alas, no one wanted it, I can see why. Hopefully I can get a bit more time up there and actually finish some things sooner rather than later

@@adventuresinrust1644 we always start with the best intentions. 😂😂 As you say, fellah, you might get a bit more time! Buses are different... especially as you need a lot of space and everything is so much bigger. 🤔😂 Cars on the other hand are different! What's the plans for the ambulance? I remember the video of you getting it running👍🏼

@willwelch5700 buses used to be quite enjoyable to do, but I've definitely lost the love these days. Although bigger, generally they're easier to work on than cars, access is usually pretty good. The ambulance was next in line after the bus, and I guess it still is. It needs everything doing, but I do want to get it done at some point, it's a delightful, characterful, little thing. Again, much smaller than the bus, but needs more things doing..

I'd definitely have a word with your employer! I had a word with mine, I told me there was nothing I could do about it right now, but I'd review my case in 6 months!

Depressing isn't it. I know I should just live it, but...

I'll do my best dude! No guarantee on the dying thing though

The lance has plenty of danger alarms, all of which now work, I think.

Thank you. Yes, it's a short mk2 national with a pod. One of a small batch I believe

I guess 55mph was considered plenty by most buyers. I'm surprised badgerline paid the extra for the 5hp500, but yeah, they were far nicer to drive. I doubt this one will be finished any time soon. But yeah, we'll see how it goes.

It does rather appear to have slid down my head!

It's literally exactly the same as it was 3 years ago. A decade might be optimistic

Not much of a vid sadly, more rambling nonsense.. I think there's 14 or so lances still about. Mostly phase 2 Verde bodied lances, but there's at least 2 low floor versions, best I know my 2 are the sole remaining phase 1 Verdes, but I'm always happy to be proved wrong!

​@@adventuresinrust1644They where never common round here, mckindless had a few slfs with berkhof bodies, seems pretty modern compared with b10m with Alexander ps bodywork that where everywhere here until 10 years ago

@groeacht8525 funny innit, I still think of b10m's as modern. I'm not sure we'll ever see a preserved N280UD or electric bus, so a b10m and everything of that era could spell the last of the preservation scene for quite a while

Never driven a 4 pot fg, but I'm told they're as loud as they are slow. But I adore my fg. It drinks petrol almost as fast as I can fill it, but it's got so much character. I gather the trucks were rather marmite, love or hate. I really want a thrupenny bit fg truck, maybe one day, but I think I'd stick with the 4 litre petrol donkey over the diesel

The only chance I'd have of finding a better body tub would be to wait for one of the very few well cared for sheerlines to come up for sale, which could be decades, then I'd have to destroy a well cared for car for that body tub. I've looked at a couple of 'barn find' sheerlines, sure, not much money, but they're as rotten as this one.

Don't you believe it. His skill set is beyond that of mere gods.

@tomsheppard1666 I don't have any skills, but I also don't believe in any god, so I'll take that, ta!

Given it's age and the life it's had I don't think it's really any worse than I thought it was, although yeah, it would have been nice to see less holes and filler, but hey ho. Once I get the grinders out and chop it all out it'll look better. Probably. Maybe..

Never met a grumpy cow yet, although I've never pulled an ear off a cow so yeah... These doors are known for going out of shape apparently, so I'm inclined to, er, reshape them so they fit the car
