David WilkinsA few days back, I posted some photos of a 1980s Rolls Royce Silver Spirit that had been converted into an up-market pick-up. This is what the Silver Spirit looks like in standard unmodified form. Snapped by my brother in Doha in Qatar last year.<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/davidsdailycar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#davidsdailycar</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/RollsRoyce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RollsRoyce</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/WeirdCarMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WeirdCarMastodon</a>

FrankNew master cylinder ordered. He has 'some' brakes at present, will do to get him on and off the trailer next week.Wheels after a light coat. Still need a bit more sanding of gravel rash. And of course we're out of paint. Bet the paint shop's not open until Monday. 🤦‍♂️ <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/WeirdCarMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WeirdCarMastodon</a>

FrankVolkswagen’s new small ute not coming to AustraliaPlans for a Subaru Brumby-like compact VW pick-up – possibly inspired by this concept car – will be exclusive to developing markets such as South America, with less stringent safety standards.<a href="https://www.drive.com.au/news/volkswagens-new-small-ute-not-coming-to-australia/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.drive.com.au/news/volkswagens-new-small-ute-not-coming-to-australia/</a>BOOOOOOOOOO<a href="https://weird.autos/tags/WeirdCarMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WeirdCarMastodon</a>

Brett MasonIn the seemingly futile quest to stem the oil flowing from the Exxon Valdez AKA Mk 1 Escort, the gearbox is out so it can have its seals done. Engine is almost ready but it’s taken a while as at every turn more parts are needed and must be procured from afar. <a href="https://bne.social/tags/WeirdCar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WeirdCar</a> <a href="https://bne.social/tags/ClassicCar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClassicCar</a> <a href="https://bne.social/tags/WeirdCarMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WeirdCarMastodon</a>

FrankOh good, Roger's brake master cylinder is all pitted and the replacement one is not the right one. Turns out there's a few different ones for the pickup, dammit. Now to order another one, dammit. <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/WeirdCarMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WeirdCarMastodon</a>

FrankDoing some work on Roger the Rabbit pickup this weekend. - sanding and painting some period alloys - get the brakes workingHe's off to the engineer next week for initial assessment to get registered. I'll pick up some tyres for the wheels on Monday.He's also finally in the Au DB for cars, after thirty years or so, which is a step in the process to registration<a href="https://weird.autos/tags/WeirdCarMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WeirdCarMastodon</a> <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/VW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VW</a>

Basmitharts<a href="https://weird.autos/tags/weirdcarmastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#weirdcarmastodon</a> Local art show this weekend but I'll still do my traditional <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/carspotting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#carspotting</a> thread. Starting with some <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/getthegoodcolor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#getthegoodcolor</a> stuff.

LewisIf I run hard line all the way to the caliper, then to remove the caliper I either have toa) disconnect the hard line at the caliper, and I'll have to bleed the brakes after reassembling, which is effortb) remove ALL the hard line from the axle, which is also effort, orc) flex the hard line and just hope it bends nicely and doesn't fold and also doesn't break when I bend it back.So, my head says I'm adding a tiny bit of complexity now to save time later. WDYT, <a href="https://weird.autos/tags/WeirdCarMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WeirdCarMastodon</a>?

LewisIf anyone needs custom braided brake hoses in the UK, use HEL Performance. I ordered these yesterday at 12:40pm and got them in the post at 11:40am today. Magic.These will form the last section to the calipers on my axle. If that seems strange to you that I'd do this on a live axle, that's because it is. But the idea is that if I ever need to remove the caliper (e.g. to remove the disc) it's going to be much easier to just unbolt the caliper and swing it out the way.<a href="https://weird.autos/tags/WeirdCarMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WeirdCarMastodon</a>

TayFoNay🍿🇺🇦What is this adorable truck called and where can I buy one? It’s a Ford of some kind.Excuse the blurry pic, I took this hastily from my drivers seat while waiting at a red light.UPDATE: it’s a Ford Econoline pickup truck from around 1960.
