Nightsta Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Hi SR Rolla Im currently restoring a 74 GTO as well and wondered if you have any carb parts as the base of one of mine where a vacuum hose connects to the nipple has broken off? If not do you know of any replacement carb options? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR ROLLA Posted September 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 I don't have any spare carb parts, sorry Nightsta Have you got a build thread going on here? I know there would be a few guys keen to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66gt Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Don’t put that scody sunroof back in. Wait a bit longer save some pingers and get the hole filled in properly. The guy doing my GT Cortina just did one on a Mk 2 Escort Sport come up mint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR ROLLA Posted October 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Any idea what it cost to get it filled in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwlee Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 Keep up the good work. The new carbs will sound fantastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwlee Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 The paint job looks great. I bet you can't wait to get it back on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR ROLLA Posted June 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 Definitely @dwlee still a lot to do in terms of buffing and reassembly but it's so close now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwlee Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 Good luck with the wof. It's certainly looking great! I bet you can't wait to go for a drive on a hot day with all the windows down listening to the music from the carbs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwlee Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 Looking good with the stripe. What do you want to do with the suspension? Just lower it a bit, replace bushings and shocks or are you wanting to go it further? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abarth Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 Hey man, nice Colt. Check the progression holes on your Weber’s as mine has that similar stutter when starting off. Apparently it’s caused by a lack of fuel as the throttle butterfly hasn’t moved past the progression hole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, a bit more than that I reckon @dwlee – the ideal plan is: reset the leaves, then fine tune height in the rear with blocks (looks like you can't actually take much out of the leaves as they are a pretty shallow curve as it is). Then get coilover struts made up for the front. And yeah, replace all the bushes and so on at the same time too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriveBy Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 I replaced front springs and shortened my shocks then reset rear leaves, no blocks from memory. Can take some photos of stance and see if it is to your liking then provide details? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR ROLLA Posted December 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 Yeah, that would be awesome @DriveBy Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwlee Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 The standard leaf springs as pretty soft and if you have them reset you may need to add another leaf. I had to do this with the 76 and I'm likely to do it again with the 75. I'm using early land cruiser (Fj40) shocks in the rear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dabuzz Posted June 2 Report Share Posted June 2 a spare set of widened steelies on the back could also be a sweet option to change it up!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR ROLLA Posted June 3 Author Report Share Posted June 3 Definitely @dabuzz, I'd like to get a set of factory steelies widened out as much as poss, keeping the centre caps and trim rings for a kind of factory+ look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
