it all begins !
« on: June 11, 2016, 11:19:18 AM »
At last we could make a start on the car,

Engine came out today, stripping all parts for upgrade, head going to tuners monday, cam and 30dic from Dave already here,
suspension lowered 2 weeks ago just fitting uprated rear springs and shocks,
cut off all steering box bits and offered up RHD rack all seems pretty straight forward.RHD pedal box looks easy,
stripped out interior and trial fitted the bucket seats, ended up fabricating a platform to raise 50mm, lowering column to get it just right.

Ordered 4" digital speedo/tacho to fit early binnacle to go on the right hand side

Enough for one day  ;)

All sounds good there Derek, I guessed that you would not be hanging about with it which prompted me to get my butt into gear this morning and I made the high tensile studs to mount the exhaust elbows to the head, the ball jointed accelerator link to connect the twin choke Weber then I either have or am waiting on every conceivable jet size for the fine tuning  :)

Well done Dave, your help and sound advice is appreciated.

I have located the bigger valves but am a little concerned about the 36/31 option, I may just use the 36mm inlets and leave the exhaust as standard.
