OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Rare Finds & Donations My Latest find original victa consul 2

hey all found this one on gum tree its in great nick body is perfect motor feels ok missing snorkel tube and filter and front case. even the plastic height adjuster is there ......... and i am in trouble with Jeffrey when he see's this post.

Awesome find,this one is gonna do up real nice...Ah Blumbly has enough toys to last a lifetime,lols. I hopefully have something special coming up,keep your eyes peeled for a real original rarity..Im slowly starting to expand my horizons and this one may be on my list as ive only got 2 more to finish my collection from fan 2 to sheerline 9.....The 2a and sheerline 6.Erm cant you put it in flashing lights with a sign that says..NER NER Blumbly..look what I Gotttttttttttttttt! lols.

yeah its in very sexy condition considering they normally fall apart, hardest thing to find will be the rubber snorkle. air cleaners , impossible .. ive been collecting a few good originals over the years but have only in the last 6 months started a restro. intentions-sigh, however i needed something to distract me after quitting smoking!


haha Nah i best not as last time i out bid him on one on ebay by one dollar .....he wasnt impressed.

lols,welcome to my world,I always miss out by a dollar......Youll find the parts in time,point is youve got a perfect base it seems. get me an image of the snorkel,ive got a few odd victas i dont know what they are off...

here is a pic of the snorkel tube.

Ahh I see,okies thought it a normal one,sorry not up on these late models lols...But serioulsy if the one in the image is yours,go through a Gates radiator hose catalogue and find one,shouldnt be too hard. take the sample and the hoses in the CAT have dimensions and lengths to the mm. Ive matched hundreds of hoses over the years when ive been rushed or doing unusual NA hoses for cars or if they have been just ridiculous expensive...Some of the nissans and efi corollas have S styles in 32 to 40 mm,check them out.

this is the engine of my earlier consul ive been restoring.
Not a bad idea at all was thinking of a washing machine repair place , it came to me the other day when my ol hoover done a hose and its virtually the same material and size i recon there would me one very similar out there

Awesome! even better a lot of earlier rad hoses are smooth,daihatsu only made them smooth,and your right washing machine would be a good bet as they are often s shaped as well to allow for flex when its rotating...See you can find anything if you think about it! Cant wait to see this one finished,Im really loving its style and air box set up!

the 511 consul is taking a bit of time its body was damaged a mates currently re casting damaged bits then ill just get them welded in.
stickers are getting reproduced at the moment which means i should probley pull my finger out and get handles and axles on there way. ready for paint.

No not at all. No good me getting upset,nothing I could or could of done about it anyway. It's like I could have picked it up. Defiantly a good find though. Your lucky that way. Although I do need a base I know I will find one by the time I'm ready to start those 2 restores. Well done though great find,look after it if not send it my way.

all good just a shame there wasnt two or i would send you one also

decided to put fuel in it this morning and attempt to start it , doubt its run in years.
started first pull with no carby issues at all.

I would have thought it would.After all you had fixed it.

haha i thought it would have but i did nothing but put fuel in

See Just goes to show that that's how good they are. The would get that from newer engines.
