1960 Hillman Minx - First run around the block

It was probably not the best idea to drive this car around on public streets yet, but how could I resist.

First Firing of 1960 Hillman Minx De Luxe Saloon

After rebuilding the carb, the fuel pump, a new cap + rotor, points, fresh fuel and fuel line snaking, it finally started!! No muffler, so it sounds a little bigger than it realy is.

1971 BMW R60/5 - First time running since I picked it up from a barn

Fresh valve adjustment, new Bosh Super plugs, fresh 40w oil, timing adjustment, new fuel line, and it fired right up. Still need to take a compression reading and then start getting after some of the many cosmetic issues. Fuel tank is full of pin holes along the lower seam and is currently being professionall welded and sealed. More video to follow.
