Re: The journey of one man and his Mule(s)

A quick post, just to show these cars do occassionally see the light of day :lol: Mule XIV went out for its first run of the year. Moreover, it's first drive out since I collected it in December! As expected the car drove flawlessly and reminds me how good these engines are when you leave them stock...

Re: The journey of one man and his Mule(s)

On to Mule XIV then... I've not actually driven it since collecting the car just before Christmas. The weather turned that weekend and the local council appear to have shares in Gritting Inc, with the roads looking like they have sand drifts of salt! However, that changes next week and it's finally ...

Re: The journey of one man and his Mule(s)

Right then. I have a bit of time so let's catch up a bit, before it snowballs away again. I'll go car by car, in a bid to keep it shorter and not a wall of text and photos that takes hours to compile. Mule XIII Not masses to report on this really, as it's mostly tucked away at the farm, waiting for ...

Re: The journey of one man and his Mule(s)

all the MR2 you'll ever need. :^o I'm not listening. It, along with one AW, is enough for me :lol: I have ideas on a couple of non-MR2 stable mates though. They won't be for some time though. Well, I say that and inevitably something happens and I'm shifting cars around again in a bid to squeeze mo...

Re: The journey of one man and his Mule(s)

Apologies, all. I've been meaning to type something up for weeks now but never got around to doing so. After the loss of the mega post I typed up just as the website shat its digital underpants, I've struggled to find the drive to do it all again. Especially as now I've got 3x the content to write-u...

Re: Unlucky Thirteen ? ?

That's a clean example 8)

Regarding unlucky thirteen: I think you should be ok. I've probably had all the bad luck for AWs with XIII in their name :lol:

Re: The journey of one man and his Mule(s)

I tried but IMs were down and any post attempt errored. I thought about raising it through Facebook but never got around to it :lol: Nice work for raising it and to whoever fixed it :) I found out it was down the hard way, back in November. That being after spending an hour writing a post, only to s...

Re: The journey of one man and his Mule(s)

looking forward to seeing it mapped and glad the mk1 is now sorted, be good just to use it a bit I know you did the other day and enjoyed it.. Mega looking thing! I have a love/hate relationship with XIII. It's had so many weird and frustrating issues which have kept me from using it, pretty much f...

Mapping postponed. Their shutter doors failed and they can't get any cars in or out #-o

The revised date is November 16th.

Re: The journey of one man and his Mule(s)

Not much progress since my last update as we've been away again and I'm waiting on one of the bigger milestones: Mapping Mule X, which is tomorrow! I'm prediciting great results or grenade results, hopefully the former! I'm not looking for big numbers, that was never the goal for the car. A healthy ...

No problem, hopefully your threads being live and updated will be encouragment to others and perhaps attract people back to the forum 8) Just for info, the best source of info on 1.5/1.6 conversions is the originator of the concept Paul Woods, the best forum was TwoBrutal, which unfortunately is no...

Something's definitely changed or resolved itself, as I'm now regularly (as regularly as current forum activity dictates) emails about threads.

Re: The journey of one man and his Mule(s)

It's a weight off my mind for sure. There's still the speedo and resulting code issue to sort but it's a positive step forwards. The fact he went away and did a load of research overnight after the first visit, then came back almost absolutely sure he knew the cause, really impressed me. As you said...

24 hours and two visits (we ran out of time yesterday) from a local auto electrician and a bunch of fettling later, we have working headlights once more! :cheers: The short version of the story is that there's a box with fusible links in the engine bay, hidden under the already awkwardly located fus...

Minor updates this week. Some good and some, well... business as usual... I'm trying to keep it more frequent, to avoid having the multi-hour typing marathon when trying to catch up. The PTSD is real! Let's get the challenging bits out of the way first so we can end on a positive note: The Mk1.5, sp...

Re: The journey of one man and his Mule(s)

Last week's plans didn't materialise, with focus being on prepping the house for sale (photos and floorplans are being done today), the going to the farm for the weekend. As such I didn't get to swap the SW's coilovers, which I'll now look to do this week. While I've not been able to do much here I ...
