I'll come to the aid of a fellow countryman and plead "misunderstood dry wit of typical Aussie."
As for Christmas -- this is very much the season of people cooped up in the house and getting irritable ... just listen to my family in the kitchen bickering over concoctions to use the leftovers! : )

And this somehow makes you (rhetorically) feel good?   Elevates your position? Besides, It's just the wrong time for public bickering.    Think about it.  We are. 

 

Happy Holidays! (Sincerely)

Come on! Clyde’s been doing it for years…it’s nice to see him having to take it for once. Can you imagine what he’d be saying if I reported that I had to give the 308 an engine rebuild? lol

 

Talking about cheap tyres and cutting corners, I wonder if Clyde was using cheap oil from Walmart which caused his engine to prematurely wear and require replacement? Clyde? Those big 12s barely tick over and should last forever!

Pete is just a like a rock in your shoe 

A pain that will eventually go away when you take your shoe off!

 

I forgot the advice of a a good friend 

Never fight with a pig 

Because the pig likes it

My bad !

 

And Pete for the record I have flown faster than you have heard someone call you stupid !

In other words faster than the speed of sound !

 

With regards to the tire issue 

Smart people know where to spend their hard earned cash 

And it's not on tires!

I’m with you Clyde –

We have a set of PEP Boys Cornell’s 760 x 14’s on our 308.  Buy 3 get one free.

I used to run Inglewood Tire midget front and rear tires but no one liked the checkered tread pattern.

Thru up too much mud.

Alas

Pete 

I feel your pain

If in fact I would have taken short cuts

The car wouldn't have lasted as long as it has

But alas you are a True Poser 

You lack the skill set that I have in maintaining cars and for that matter most things 

But it's the holidays 

So merry Christmas

Lol @ no such thing as matching numbers. If that car wasn’t worthless already, you’d know what a difference it makes!

If you’re too cheap to buy good tyres, I can’t imagine the shortcuts you’ve taken with everything else on that car.

Time to up the insurance and set the thing on fire…do  yourself a favour.

No such thing as matching numbers on Modern day Ferraris 

As for tires since I drive 

I buy whatever is on sale 

There is not 10' of difference between 

High dollar synthetic rubber and bargain stuff

It's was a complete engine swap

A/c compressor and alternator 

Just as the picture shows 

 

Yea over 100 k on a water pump

But I think it's because I drive the car

Clyde, great project and love the pics.  I wish I had the facilities and time to do these types of projects but do not currently.

 

100k on a water pump on a vintage classic like the 512TR is pretty damn good...no doubt.

 

However, aren't you swapping an entire engine out at 100k?

 

It would be great if the water pump engineer got to design the rest of the motor!

While I was doing the work one of the other Techs asked me about the water pump and he was there when I thought I had a leak in my new engine after I had installed it

He was shocked when I told him that the original engine had never had a water pump and it had over 100k miles on it

And I fact I can't remember changing a pump on any of my cars 

It seems that the technology has really helped in that arena 

 

On another note I am hoping to tear down that old engine in the future to check it for wear

 

Currently the only weak spot on my car is the transaxle assembly which when I did the last major service had very little metal on the magnetic plug

 

The modern day lubricants are just amazing when it comes to this

Nothing like the old days of mineral based lubricants 

 

With regards to my oh my god water pump leak, the pump has a carbon seal and since this was a 1993 that had not been driven much the seal was shrunken and needed to be heated up by the water and engine block assembly to seal properly 

Another reason to drive you car instead of wax it!

 

Gotta go fly my last trip of the year
