Spotted this in Wellington, straight back into daily use by the looks of it, plenty of Eastcapes finest mud still attached!

Hi Alex, I see someone spotted you on FB today Looks like some tried to tag you, but you are not in this group

Go it home recently and thought it would be rude not to give it a start - only supplied a coil, stuck some fuel in and away it went! Raw Fiat 650 big-block power - it seems to be a sweet runner and will make a nice upgrade from the 500 that I already have.

Long time no update, its been more than a year without any progress on the body, however I am always on the lookout for parts - then this popped up, And thanks to a couple of OS GC's this happened. Thanks to @GuyWithAviators and @Threeonthetree for picking, stripping, packing and sending to me.

Here they are!

Quickly threw together a seat cover - all done!

Just a quick build here, it all started some months back when @GuyWithAviators happened upon a pile of Honda remains and got them dumped at my place. Amongst the bits were these two and with a combines ride coming up with Moped MC and Easties Scooters it was decided I should build the Deluxe frame into something workable, @GuyWithAviators proceeded to send me a pile of parts and below is what happened.

Sorry, not someone I know.

Yep we picked up a factory set of twin carbs ($25), ported the head, got the cam ground. Was a bit silly realy it had nothing until about 5000 rpm the it would pull round to 7 K plus. I am from Ashburton so I guess Barry is correct about the number plate. - Can't remember the year

Sounds like a great project, my first car was an Imp and some years later my mate and I built this one for dirt track racing - then dumped it when finished after selling the very modified engine to another friend for his road car. Seems a waste now as it was a realy tidy one.

This is such a great project you have set yourself, your attitude seems to fit so well with the Old School way of thinking as well - you certainly came to the right place. I also like the QCR shirt on the bloke at 14:20. All the best for your work

The other good one is to just start it in gear, go for a drive with your foot on the clutch - give the throttle a few sudden stabs - that always worked for my '71 corolla that had the same problem.

Is the carb slide up the right way

Cheers for that, Just need to find time to work on it now
