Thought you all may be interested in my project, I've not worked on a car to this extent before so this will be a voyage of discovery!

I've taken on a Burlington Arrow which in my case is based on mostly Herald parts, it is a runner but quite leaky from various points and needs a good overhaul.

Work to date

  • Service stuff, oil, filters, coolant including a complete flush of the radiator and new corrected rating thermostat.
  • Front calipers rebuilt as they were totally seized.

  • Rear drums rebuilt, weirdly full of grease on the braking surface no wonder it didn't have any stopping power!
  • New tires and new 14" wire wheel to replace the 15" spare.
  • Rebuilt and redesigned the dashboard in reclaimed Mahogany, including fitting a Tacho!

  • Plumbed up the Oil pressure gauge.
  • New fuel pump and fuel filter, replaced the perished hoses with Ethanol resistant modern hoses.
  • New starter motor and custom cabling.

 

Currently in progress

  • Bodywork boxing modification as it was rubbing, including propshaft replacement

That's all for now!

The new propshaft is in and I could take the car for a spin down to the pub and back! Engine is a little lumpy and just gets louder instead of pulling, so some tinkering to be had I'm sure 😄
