Come on then, show us the pinstriping! Also, who did it? I love a good striper. Having tried, it's a real craft and takes patience and skill.

A guy called simon (Nefarious) did a great job.  Sorry to say no pictures as my computer that was linked to my phone is dead!!  So it will have to wait until we get another!!
Or just go to his Facebook page and it is on there?

I sussed out the pictures by adding photobucket to my phone and uploading all the pics then send them to the forum!
Sometimes I have a clever moment!!

I've seen his name before, that Nefarious chap, as I used to read Custom Car magazine and go to the odd show. Nice work.
Good job with the solenoid. I've wanted shaved locks for years but never got round to it.

Today I changed the drums on the front end. There was an annoying noise and it was an oval drum  :o

New shoes, cylinders and drums both sides. Quite productive.

I removed the engine in mine today to rebuild it after it seemingly suffering a head gasket fault after only 1000 miles after being replaced by the previous owner....... Turns out he didn't tighten the head bolts up properly
FOR LACK OF A BETTER NAME

Pulled the GAMINE out of the garage, not been in ther for a long time, to find a large mouse nest, what a stink. Stripped out the interior and power washed it. Tried to start but not enough in the battery. Hope there's no damage to the wiring.  I also had a trial fit of the distance bush and flywheel on the scuby engine. Need some minor machining to get all to fit perfectly hope to have atrial fit in the 126 soon.

A Subaru engined 126? Are you insane?  ;D

I guess you've measured up to see how it'll fit. Do you have a build thread? I'm considering engine options at the moment.

Received a polish CC700 head yesterday and was happy with its condition. Now I want to try port it but need some tools... :D.
