Got the engine mounted and a few more parts on taking my time with every part that goes on and enjoying it I have ordered a lot of new parts just waiting for them to turn up I have also ordered a set of gloss black and chrome 10" rose petal wheels to put on. Can not wait fir them to turn up enjoy the pictures thanks Tom

I really like rose petal wheels, am undecided with mine as have Dunlop d1 alloys but very temped to change, car looking good though.

Nice looking job, like the wheels also.

Thank you I was going to keep it original but I'm going to do some changes and keep the original parts they can allways go back on or with the car if I ever sell it. I'm going to put a set of disk brakes on the front for better braking then the old drums. I'm after a good conversion kit if anyone can recommend a set for good money? Thanks Tom

Got the dynamo coil and dizzy throttle cable and other little parts fitted tonight. Still waiting on parts to come but lots to do in mean time. Cheers Tom

Wheels turned up today nice surprise when I got back from work look great had to put them on for a quick look. They are rubbing on rear shocks so I will need to get new drums with the 1" extra spacer fitted. Also fitted dizzy vacuum pipe instead of going over top of engine I shaped it around with a little chrome bracket.

[Daz1968]

Looking very nice, soon be back together again, do you have discs on front now or is that how they fit with drums, you want the alloy drums on back with spacer and longer studs.

Will that arrangement for the vacuum pipe allow you to move the dizzy far enough to get the timing right?

 

The car is looking fantastic, you're doing a wonderful job!

Thanks daz I still need to buy and fit calipers on the front but they did fit on the front drums.

Thanks magneto before I stripped it back down and it was running right I marked it up so I have put it back in its correct place if it does need tweaking a bit I can adjust it thanks tom
