kiwi808 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Rusti, your creation looks awesome mate. Perhaps a vid of it running? Hats off to you though mate. Scratching building your own car out of bits and pieces is totally amazing. No way I could have done what you have. If only you had put a rotary in it....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostchips Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Video of it running appears to be a weird format that won't play on anything. While trying to convert it i appear to have deleted it. Can make new video soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostchips Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Cool looks real cool. is the head gasket leeking? As far as i can tell, yes. Water leaks around one of the head bolts and some of the others spin but i know they need helicoils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi808 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Would be sweet if you could find some old 1929 plates or something so you could put it on the road and get cheap rego. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
