The STATQ Project
13/06/2025
So over the last few months the poor Stato has been neglected sitting under a tarp.
I've been concentrating on finding all the interior so I can put together an original looking chamois interior with black trims. I wanted to add a couple of new style mods to the interior so the hardest part was finding a centre console I could modify without it costing me a fortune to buy.
Now I have everything old school Statesman
So the most common issue with 50 year old cars like us, they don't like to start or do anything till they warm up in the morning.
To combat this issue we have installed a manual choke cable to keep the revs up. We have also installed twin thermo fans on a manual switch setup. Two switches now allow me to start the car with no fans running. As the car starts to warm up I can switch one fan one to regulate the engines temp. Then when it gets to normal running temp I switch the second thermo fan on.
Thanks to Peter who installed this set up on the car for me.
