Piston Before & After

niiiiiiiice job there ! yeah its amazing what folks do to things sometimes . strange they didnt work out a way to poprivet it on

you mean like this haha

What kind of motor do u have on that orange Monaro ?? I have that same base but no motor as yet

hahaha oh well . yeah sort of like that

G'day the motor on the Monaro looks to be the same as the one im doing up on the VC160...

almost done with the 160cc engine should run like new with any luck.. here are a few pics Cheers...

two more...

Im done with the engine its ready to fire up..and yep i will be using this mower to mow with..am just working on the base now its in really good nick should look good with some new paint...

Looking good what it cost to get the motor lookin like that??

Not much rings where $20 few odds and ends they where a only a few bucks..I already had the paint so all up to do the hole mower say undder 30 bucks....the real cost is my time but i enjoy doing this type of thing making something out of what someone gave up on a long time ago..

here is a tip for keeping the muffler on...well its how i do it after having a few fall off haha..and also its best to use a new muffler gasket when doing this and it will live on for another 30 years! with any luck.....

Nice work Chris! I like the custom ports, it should bark pretty well with the exhaust port job!

Hi Chris and on a sweet restoration there mate, the engine came up a treat! Can't wait to see the base when finished.

Thanks guys its looking ok i guess...Im getting there with this mower..Here is the base, and nop i did not go with the Victa green paint...I used a charcoal hammertone paint...I really like how it looks..I am going to mow with this mower so was thinking it really dont matter its not 100% as it left Victa.. Here are a few pics....

Actually I quite like the grey, well done on a good looking job so far....

Well good to see other restoring these VC-160's.Looking good even though not the original colour,but hey that's what you wanted to do.I do have a question though.How did you get the head as clean and as shiny as you did.I'm having a pri*#k of a time getting mine like that?
