Thanks Matt..yes should be in keeping with the period tuned look I'm after..so managed to get some of the initial parts together..just need to finish making the flange part to the carb face..not looking to bad and not sure yet which way to mount the gauze filter as i like the both either way..

that's another nice piece of work there - hopefully they perform as well as they look

 

should get a decent amount of inlet noise from them !

Thanks..thats the aim plenty of noise and period racer look..yours is coming on a treat and will no doubt be painted before mine at this rate..im in no rush to be honest just could do with it back so i can find a home for all the bits i have around ..

..i suspect mine won't be back on the road first - the only bit I've got ready to refit is the shifter housing!

Well its a start..on the plus side though having the shell back will fire up the desire to get stuff done...bit sad but i do like to look at a freshly painted mini shell..

Seem like ages since my last update..not a great deal to show but the prep continues and its going in the right direction..finally got some wheels..a tatty set of rose petals which have been sat in a garage for years so ideal to refurb  ..

cracking choice on the wheels - that's going to look great.  are you keeping the matt black centres or going for something a little different ?

Thanks..to be honest rose petals have always been my first choice..they don't come up very often 2nd hand and i didn't want to buy new so these are prefect ..the lacquer is lifting and its tarnished the alloy underneath..but condition wise they are excellent ideal as like you say I'm thinking of changing the centre colour..nothing loud just a tad different..wouldnt mind some dummy spinners but we'll see what i can cobble up..

[REVVIT]

Continued with the wheel refurb and after lots of the usual prep/flat stages and a session with the polishing wheel think they will look nice against the Grey paint...decided to keep the centres matt black as i liked the toned down finish on the spokes ...
