  1. Long time no update. Have pulled the 2L pinto and type 9 out. Pulled the pinto apart as old owner had said it had oil problems with out going into details. Found the motor has had a recent Kent Fr31 cam and kent valve springs. Has had a mild clean out on the inlet ports. Looks to have done not a lot since being apart last time and no damage seen other than no oil pump drive shaft and the modified oil pick up had been hitting on the 2 middle rod ends. Lucky I had spare motors to raid. Put all back together and fingers crossed its ok otherwise its out again and full build. Painted block. About to give the inlet manifold a mild radius porting. Stripped and painted roll cage. Got rear van leafs back from being reset. Starting to come along.
  2. Ok, long time no update. Have just been badgering away at the bodywork still, getting there. Finally got some tyres on my steelies, 175 50 13 and got the ride height at which it will be made it.
  3. What size tyres on the gold wheels.
  4. Couple of pics showing direction of idea of build. Having my 30th in garage next weekend so had to make the sack look a little special
  5. Installed bolt in half cage and made up prototype seat mounts to check positioning with helmet room.
  6. Hi, I think a guy in Blenheim built it around 10 years ago. I have the ownership papers, was a South Island car until 6 ish years ago. Think it may have had the head refreshed, think I may go for a Kent Fr32. Still on the source for a dipstick and engine mounts. Think one is 50mm thick and other is 38mm thick. What does everyone else have.
  7. Just took the cam cover off, has a kent cams fr31 cam and valve springs. Bad news is cam looks like it hasnt been run in properly so will probably need binning.
  8. That VL would look cool next to my r31. Dont bogan it up like all other VLs.
  9. Am looking for a 2L pinto dipstick if anyone has one. Cheers.
