Fixing a 58 year old English nugget.

It's so funny to me how nonchalant James is when approaching repairs. The dude's really competent in what he does but avidly shrugs off most tasks or does some crazy workaround.

The first time I saw an MG I misread it as "General Motors" before doing a double take. From then on i still read it in my head as "Meneral Goters"

Man Wade is really moving up. He had world famous YouTube sensation James as a guest star. They play James videos on busses in Spain don't yah know.

I've a friend in Adelaide who has a '67 Morris 1100. Was this same colour and collapsed suspension. It was given to him by his grandmother. It was his uncles but when he died it was parked in her shed for over 20 years. Had no rust but my friend hated the old fart colour and resprayed it red. It had bucket seats and 54k miles. We pulled took the tappet cover off and it was like vegemite. We cleaned it all up and eventually the suspension was put up to normal height and 6 months later it's back in the shed. Been there 29 years now. With the temp pegging at H, this is quite normal. They aren't built for our temps and run very hot when pushed through the Adelaide hills.

3:15 "surface rust" - man who will later regret this observation

[nickrustyson]

Oh Wade you fool, you don't fix English cars, no one can

[FyrenRei]

"smells funny"

There is somewhere to get good parts actually! At least for Morris cars, and it's surprisingly Denmark. Due to historical reasons Denmark now have more Morris cards then England does - and they still take care of them. Loads of specialty shops that can help you with any kinds of parts you'd need.

"Can you do it without that tool?"
"No."
"What a great car."

27:01 You know it’s bad when a master technician says “I’ve never seen that before”

Alec Issigonis didn’t believe in radios, he said they were too distracting. However he did fit all round ashtrays and made sure you could fit a bottle of wine in the doors. 😅

You know it's a good day when Wade uploads a 30 minute long video

This dude is Adelaide culture. All his channels remind me of every South Australian I have met

I'm English and I grew up 10 miles from the British Leyland Austin Works at Longbridge, Birmingham. When I was a kid they were still building 1100s & 1300s. One word to sum them up is "rotbox." Another word is "shite". Then that range of cars was replaced by the Austin Allegro which was even worse!

I love seeing the temp needle climb right before "launch that boy" 24:42

[alticia]

finally getting the garbage fix that has been missing in my system for quite a while now

In today's episode:
James brings a new nugget to the fleet
Wade wears his shronks
And I never want my balls loose

[bonkaddicct]

putting new parts into this is like putting a 25 year olds organ into a 97yo smoker.

Still driving and loving my virtually perfect 1969 Austin America (the one marketed in the USA), 55 years on. It's all about good maintenance and a sympathetic driver.
