wiley I am sure stew will sort it |
What a fantastic read.
What a thread this is, can't wait to see the finished article. When/where will you be taking it for it first public outing? Would love to come along and see this beast at full throttle. Dylan |
Thanks Dylan :thumb:
I had hoped to have it running with a few bits to finish off in the next couple of weeks but got a fair amount of work on at the moment and working on the car I have neglected a few jobs at home that I need to get sorted. So I guess sometime in the new year it should be running. I am hoping to take it to mlr 30-130mph event in March but not paid entry or committed to it fully. It would really be nice to get some time in the car beforehand. Simon |

P.s, if you want to see what a 22B bumper looks like on a lime green classic check out my thread, project ultimate green classic, in the members gallery. |
decided as I am bouncing off the armco it would be worse with an expensive front bumper lol
thanks btw Simon |
Thanks to steve at smg for timing up the vernier pulleys etc last night.
Another step forward, just need to find time to bolt the thing all together now. Simon |
