and managed to spray my rocker cover, still not finished yet tho (looked really bad before)



also ive managed to lose a brace bar! im not sure how as the nuts and bolts are still conected to the car :S



sorry about the grubby engine/bay not had chance to clean it :/

cheers

[retroracer1275]

ok... so everything is fitted.







paint finish on the rocker cover isnt it best, but it looks better than it did

[Artful Dodger]

it looks brilliant, and who cars if its a little rough around the edges, its a racer!

[crazycoleman118]

Engine spec? Its not that rough either! although nice wiring

Can i ask where you got the mirror from, been looking for one for ages and only ones i can find need to be imported

[MJWarren]

Swap your front two wheels round, the tyres rotation is the wrong way.

Looks like a nice classic build, love the wheels.

[retroracer1275]

haha wiring is a mess, i removed 5 lenghs of wires out the loom yesterday, still lots more to do tho

engine spec is, 1330, stage 4 head, weber 45, straight cut drops, gt gearbox, 649 cam and some other bits and bobs

i got the mirror from the US mirror was £7 and shipping was £18 so wasnt to bad

ah yeah ive been told loads of times to do it, but end up doing somthing else

cheers
