The project is really coming along Bob but it was never a Wanker, The meaning of the W word is being distorted, when it was part of my venacular it referred only to males! Old cars were refered to as "Old Bangers"

Another picture of my WANKER coming back to life. This car was purchased totally in pieces. A bare chassis, two buckets of nuts & bolts, everything was disassembled except for the engine & trans which I am currently rebuilding. From WANKER to BEAUTY QUEEN in time for next year's concours events.

Location: La Verne, California

What an interesting bunch of comments!

Here is a picture of my 1952 XK120 WANKER under restoration in my garage. I am almost done with the engine and hope to have the bodywork and painting done by December (doing it all myself).

Hey Bill, how much torque on the head bolts?

Hey Brad, how about Crumpet, similar to an english muffin served hot with butter and strawberry jam, or a very nice piece of crumpet usually referring to a young female

Well that is one mans version, there are many here foreign to me but, if it's English, as opposed to British then you have to start with the Cockney versions!
