No tools had them "borrowed" a few months back.Lost a prized pipe wrench my grandfather bought back in 1938;]

G'day StangLover,

Is the starting problem electrical or mechanical ???

I'm currently working up in Syd at the moment out at Randwick and staying in Croydon. If you dont get to many offers of help, drop us a line. I have my electrical tools/instruments up here but my mechanical stuff is back in Melb.

Cheers

stanglover thats a nice lookin car mate :( :(

really like it and cant wait to see it driving round!

stangLover · « **Reply #30 on:** January 19, 2009, 11:43:10 am »

Thanks 65pony, appreciate the feedback, it helps to receive these comments from mussy enthusiasts rather than the smart-ass comments your freinds make who think they know everything.

They've given me the first choice of putting it up for sale as is and be happy with the extra money I make.

I told them to dream on as I'll never sell it!! Don't care if I have to spend big dollars to fix....which doesn't look like it will need it anyway...... prolly looking about 10grand total with brand new interior, worked motor and bits and pieces.

j1autotech,

I've had an offer for help from one member, if he's too busy I will let you know as I'd love to get her started asap or even just to find out what the problem is.

Apparently it was a goer before shipping from the states, so it might just be a battery etc??

When i turn the ignition there's nothing, no power, no light , no noice ......nothing.
Hope that gives you ideas??

I freind had a very very quick look, got his hands on the fan and turned it a few times and said that it had compression?!?....don't know what he's talkin about. but maybe u do.

He wanted a long screwdriver to tingle with the alternator?!....... I didn't have one and he had to leave so got no where.

Turning the motor over is a waste of time if you have no power.
If you're getting no lights or anything, then most likely:

1) the battery is discharged, or dead.
2) Connections to the battery are bad
3) Bad main earth
4) fuse(s) blown

Shermatt · « **Reply #33 on:** January 19, 2009, 01:36:13 pm »

Maz,

go buy a new battery. Not allways, but alot of batterys coming across the ocean even as roll on roll off, never make the jouney.

DOA

Start there as you dont know how old the battery is

Matt

Doesn't surprise me.
Most lead acid batteries don't like not being used for long periods of time.
How long is the boat journey? Couple of months?

Thats definitely enough to do it.

Troy_H · « **Reply #35 on:** January 19, 2009, 02:46:40 pm »

Ive never bought a car with a decent battery. People tend to throw in whatever will get it started for the lucky buyer to drive away and keep the good one for their new car which will inevitably arrive with a crappy battery.

victorypark · « **Reply #36 on:** January 19, 2009, 02:49:19 pm »

Hmmm maybe that's why they call one form of shipping "roll on roll off", for those that have crook batteries......;-)

If the only prob I had when my car arrived was a dud battery then I would be pretty darn happy with that. :2

65pony · « **Reply #37 on:** January 19, 2009, 04:28:44 pm »

haha thats because they don't wanna see it finished, because if they do it will put em all to shame!!

by the way check your U2U

So Did you get any further towards getting the girl running?

stangLover · « **Reply #41 on:** January 19, 2009, 08:11:35 pm »

Starting problems......

Ok, bought a new battery put it in.

Now I have lights, blinkers etc........
Try to turn the ignition and all that happens is the fan half turn......and thats it?! Doesn't feel like there's enough power to keep in turning.......

Any ideas?????.....I'm not banging my head yet

Pleasure to meet you and the family.
My opinion is you did very well with the car.
A fantastic base to do whatever you want!

j1autotech · « **Reply #43 on:** January 19, 2009, 09:18:49 pm »

Will catch up with Stanglover tomorrow after work to have a crack at getting het to turn over. If I can't work on mine, why not help someone else out.

Here's my GT350 clone... coupe... whatever...

It's mine, that's all that matters

Hey Bas, I'm at Monterey, you've probably seen me in Bay St in my 66 Springtime Yellow GT Coupe. Give me a thumbs down if you see me, I'll stop & we'll have a chat.

stangLover · « **Reply #46 on:** April 12, 2009, 08:35:14 am »

Thumbs down or :(?

GT Sally · « **Reply #47 on:** April 12, 2009, 09:07:09 am »

Everyone gives thumbs up! There will be no mistake if you give two thumbs down, won't look real good, but at least I'll know it's you!!!
