Smiths speedo Repair and calibration! It's in the magnetism! Mart's 100E part 71! (2409)

Hello! Welcome to Mart's Garage. In part 71 of the 100E Anglia resurrection: Persistence pays off and I finally get the speedo calibrated. I learnt a lot about magnetism and made a demagnetiser. Thanks to Mark Presling for showing a suitable tool. It took some getting there but I am very pleased with the result.
I Hope you enjoy this offering. Don't forget: Keep it real! Keep it cheap!

Lucas voltage regulator adjustment! Mart's 100E part 72! (2410)

Hello! Welcome to Mart's Garage. In part 72 of the 100E Anglia resurrection: While I fixed my charging problems by swapping the regulator I felt I needed to see if I could adjust my original regulator to give more output. Armed with the original workshop manual, I muddle through it as usual and gain a better understanding along the way.

Fragile old rubber mats. Let's reinforce them and get them fitted! Mart's 100E part 73! (2411)

Hello! Welcome to Mart's Garage. In part 73 of the 100E Anglia resurrection: I wanted to fit some of the trim to the car so I cleaned and fitted odd pieces. I then looked at the old rubber mats. They were literally falling apart. So can I make them strong enough to use again?

Tinker Time! Let's sweat the small stuff! Mart's 100E part 74! (2412)

Hello! Welcome to Mart's Garage. In part 74 of the 100E Anglia resurrection: I keep identifying things that either need attention or need refitting, even if just to keep them safe. I fit some Old school rubber mats, try some tinted polish and investigate the non-working door locks and manage to get them working.

Last few parts go on! Tinker Time! Mart's 100E part 75! (2413)

Hello! Welcome to Mart's Garage. In part 75 of the 100E Anglia resurrection: I keep identifying things that either need attention or need refitting, even if just to keep them safe. I fit the last few parts back to the car and mull over some ideas. Whether any of the ideas come to pass will remain to be seen.

Tidyup starts! Let's move Old Rusty! (Update 2414)

Having done what I can on the 100E I wanted to rearrange the cars to give better access to the other side of the garage. This will allow me to get the Thunderbird out and the coupe too. But first my much neglected Model A Roadster, Old Rusty, has to be moved. I took the opportunity to check how it is faring after so long sitting under a tarp.

57 T-Bird! Will it run? Will it move? Will I wash it?! (Mart's Garage Update 2415)

Having done what I can on the 100E I wanted to rearrange the cars to give better access to the other side of the garage. I moved Old Rusty and can now turn my attention to my long neglected 57 T-Bird.

57 T-Bird! Dealing with Door Fit Issues! (Mart's Garage Update 2416)

While fitting the tread plates to the T-Bird I realised I was not happy with the door fit. There had always been issues right from day one. I found I was not going to get it ok within the adjustment available and had to modify the hinges to get a fit I was happy with.

57 T-Bird! Can I get it to run right? (Mart's Garage Update 2417)

I got the Thunderbird running, but wasn't happy with some mods I did over 30 years ago. In this video I try and reinstate the original parts. It didn't go as well as I had hoped. Watch the vid and see what you think!
I Hope you enjoy this offering. Don't forget: Keep it real! Keep it cheap!
Thanks for joining me once again in Mart's Garage.

57 T-Bird! Why can't I get it to run right? Still trying! (Mart's Garage Update 2418)
When I first got the T-Bird running over 30 years ago I couldn't get the carb to work in it's original state. I had to substitute parts from a later carb. Having recently got it running again, I felt it was time to put things right. Or at least try. Follow me in my quest to troubleshoot the original parts and get them reunited with the car. Once more it didn't go as well as I had hoped. Watch the vid and see what you think!

Hi Mart, Good detective work on that old Holley carb. I hope to see you get it going properly on all four barrels. I'm running a 600 Holley in my car that looks pretty similar. Do you know what model that carb is. You're gonna need one of those front to rear supply tubes, not sure what the correct name is. I have a good friend that loves those old Holleys. He has a pretty good supply of cores if you need parts, maybe I can get some for you. I've never shipped to England, but there's always a first time. I really like your old bird. I bought quite a few raffle ticket on the one the Early V8 museum gave away a few years ago. Didn't win it tho. Ha ha
