Why else would I make that comment?

Isn't that the wrong order? Usually you put the wrecker in front :)

I suppose. If you like that tan color. It'd look so much cooler in 3 color :)

Made the Austin Veteran's Day Parade on Sunday. The Champ got a little bit of recognition via a YouTube interview. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9Ls7wn8Xh0

Think this pic answers the question.

Starting to “think” about the body repairs on the Champ. It’s a little difficult not having a “correct” example to compare things to so hopefully some of the limited number of owners can chime in here. The front end end has some obvious damage but not really obvious as to how things should...

I had an OEM sending unit but it went with the truck I just sold. If I'd seen the post prior I would have made you a deal. I didn't swap mine out as I didn't really want to drop the tank to do it.

I think he was posting to the wrong thread. Love your avatar :)

As the song says "and so it goes and so it goes, and so will you soon I suppose." After two years of fun with the M1078 it has moved on to life in the fun and sun of the Gulf Coast of TX. I wish it and it's new owner all the best and hope for a long and useful life of the fan clutch :)

You might want to start a thread under "Parts Wanted." Far more likely that someone sees it there rather than reading through 105 pages of this thread to get to see your post.

In order to make sure the Champ was ready for the Austin Veteran's Day Parade I went ahead and ordered a replacement 24v alternator. If Keith wants to monkey around with the old one then I can just have a spare for backup. The new alt showed up this morning and I got to work making it usable...

Safe travels. Hopefully it's an uneventful trip home.

Brakes "kinda" work. You pretty much have to stand up on the pedal and be going slow to start with but it will stop. Now the major issue is charging. Only getting 23.9v at both the alternator and the batteries so it doesn't take much running to run down the batts. A couple of thoughts I had...

It's about time somebody painted that tailgate.

Getting a little frustrated with these brakes. We rebuilt the master cylinder, all the wheel cylinders, bled the lines and it still won't stop unless you're standing on top of the pedal and already just rolling. We did discover one set of wc cups that were not the listed 1 1/8". They were at...

I have a nice one in the classifieds but you have to get it to GA.

Glad it worked for you. You might want to ask a moderator to move this out of the motorcycle forum though.

Anyone heading to the rally from TX that could tow a M116 for a little gas money?

If this is the case then Evil Dr Porkchop has the appropriate remedy. I was able to get a title for my Austin Champ that way.

You generally know buying a phone that it's going to work when you get it and if it doesn't you can take it back. This is more like paying a premium for a phone box hoping there's a working phone inside instead of buying one from a neighbor that can demonstrate to you that it works.
