Raizer Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Mods I have the owners permission to post an update for him as he is having trouble getting on the net. Well it has come a long way since the last update! There has been at least one more parts car stripped down to bring it back to life. The immortal kyteler did a feature on it at the begging of the week, which can be seen here: http://blog.retro-classics.co.nz/?p=1045 A lot has been done since I took those pics at the end of last week, so I will add another update this afternoon!

Raizer Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 We fitted a 1300 single port into it yesterday (the 1600 is going to get a bit of a freshen up before it goes in) and sorted out the wiring etc etc Also learned that if you don't put a little bush into the bellhousing the starter motors spline slops around and you will kill the starter! Anyway here's a lot of pics from yesterday/last night: When I left last night it was 2 12v bulbs and a flasher unit away from going for a WOF, so hopefully it went through today and will be at the nats this weekend.
