Big Fred, Just a reminder to put oil in the cylinder tops before starting since its been sitting around so long. Also, if your anywhere near NH, I have some extra parts. Already squirted Marvel Mystery Oil in the cylinders a couple of times. Motor turns relatively freely using the hand crank. I liv...

Minor update... I installed that Group 26 battery with the 525 CCA's. I gave the starter knob a few quick pulls, the starter did engage the flywheel, and the flywheel did turn a few revolutions. (I have the transmission removed and the panel around the shifter removed, so I can see the starter shaft...

Big Fred, If you have got all original equipment in the van then it will be positive ground as the manufacturer set it up that way. so attach plus to plus and neg to neg.

I was documenting my slow-moving project on a UK-based forum and someone recommended that I check in here. I'm based in New Jersey, USA. A few months ago I acquired a '59 Thames 300E (actually 301E I guess) from my brother for free. The body is in poor condition, but we believe the engine can be got...
